Bonny Billy Blood, Captain of the Lucinde Mae; Warcaptain of the Red Wake; the Red Harlequin. Human Male.
Overview
Bonny Billy Blood is one of the only Warcaptains to have only the one ship in his "fleet." Instead, his power base comes from his extensive network of spies, pirates and lovers who serve him out of debt, love, devotion or greed. He is rumored to be a partner, if not outright owner, of several taverns and safehouses across the Pirate Isles and even in more "civilized" ports around the Betshaban Ocean. Little happens in the maritime underworld without Bonny Billy at least being aware of what's going on.
Description
Billy cuts a striking figure: a dashing rogue in crimson finery trimmed with gold filigree, always impeccably dressed no matter how bloodied the deck. His raven-black hair falls in glossy waves, often tied back with ribbons looted from noblewomen or rival flags. A flamboyant crimson half-cape hangs from one shoulder, pinned with a carved rose of bone. His grin is ever-present, white teeth flashing beneath eyes that dance with mischief and malice. Around his neck, he wears a chain of broken dueling rings and lovers’ tokens, each a story of conquest. He moves with theatrical flair, every gesture calculated, every bow and blade flourish meant to dazzle. Even his scent, a blend of salt, clove, and red wine, is as deliberate as his legend.
Background
Rumors claim Bonny Billy is a bastard of Koramian blood, born of a disgraced noblewoman and a notorious pirate who vanished at sea. Whether truth or tavern talk, he spent his youth not in gilded halls but the gutters of port cities from Marosh to Deepberth, apprenticed under cutpurses, lockbreakers, and whisper-throated assassins. By sixteen, he had dueled a rival captain on a moonlit wharf, smiling all the while he slit the man’s throat, and then took his ship, his crew, and his lover in one blood-soaked night. That earned him the sobriquet “Bonny Billy,” a name that would rise to the rank of Warcaptain by blade, bravado, and brazen deals. He’s crossed blades with peers and shared beds with rivals, once juggling affairs with three captains at once… and somehow surviving the aftermath with flair. Billy’s justice is theatrical and absolute: he once drowned a mutineer in a barrel of sweet Narbonnaise red wine before the whole crew, toasting the man's final breath. Some swear he seduced a Neptaran Admiral, only to torch her fleet as it fled, sails aflame on the Maroshan tide. Whether these are tall tales or true stories, Bonny Billy Blood is as infamous as he is irresistible.
