[b]Personal Ship:[/b] The Alestorm - Galleon - Minimum Crew
[b]Reputation:[/b] Known across the world as one of the most fearsome pirates to ever sail the seven seas. A merchant's worst nightmare, a painful thorn in the Colonial Elites' side, and either the best possible friend or the worst possible enemy to his fellow pirates. At least, that's how it used to be.
[b]Wealth:[/b] Very Little Gold
[b]Background Type:[/b] Mythical Pirate
[b]Backstory:[/b] There was once a time when the mere mention of his name could cause a packed tavern to fall silent, when the crews of entire merchant fleets would abandon ship at the sight of his flag, when the Colonial Elites would grind their teeth to a fine powder at reports of his activities on their shipping lanes. But that time has passed.

Christopher Bowes descent from legend began when he ambushed a lone schooner. Surprisingly, the crew of the schooner put up one hell of a fight. Inevitably, they were slaughtered to a man and the captain was keelhauled. But before he died, the captain of the schooner warned Bowes to leave the cargo be if he knew what was good for him. This vague threat wasn't nearly enough to dissuade the Terrorsquid. If anything, it made him even more eager to find out what they had locked in the cargo hold. But when his men got the shockingly well locked doors open, Bowes found the hold empty save for a blank scroll of strange blue paper. His curiosity piqued, Bowes took the scroll with him to see if he could find out if there was anything special about it. Three days later, the vast armadas of the Colonial Elites lay waste to the Terrorsquid's fleet in search of something they referred to as the Map from the Sky. Bowes flagship, the Alestorm, was the only ship to make it out in one piece.

With his reputation as an unstoppable force of seaborne extortion in tatters, most of his ship's crew killed during the fighting, and most of his wealth lying at the bottom of the ocean with the rest of his fleet, Bowes now seeks to claw his way back to his former glory, regain his lost riches, rebuild his fleet, and find out what the Map from the Sky was. All while the Colonial Elites' naval forces pursue him tirelessly and what little remains of the Alestorm's crew grow closer and closer to mutiny with each passing day.
