Red Wake

The Red Wake is less a fleet and more a legend stitched from silk sheets, secrets, and blood. Warcaptain Bonny Billy Blood commands only a single ship, his beloved Lucinde Mae, but his true reach stretches far beyond her crimson sails. His power lies in a vast and intimate network of spies, pirates, lovers, and informants who serve him out of loyalty, lust, or leverage. From Deepberth to the salons of the Freecity of Neptaris, Billy is whispered to hold silent partnerships in dozens of taverns, brothels, and safehouses, each doubling as a listening post for the maritime underworld. Sailors claim that not a cargo slips anchor nor a betrayal blooms without his knowing smile already turned toward it. The Red Wake is a web of influence, and Bonny Billy its grinning spider—charming, deadly, and always watching. In the pirate haven of Deepberth, they operate both openly and secretly according to Billy's whims and needs, agitating where necessary and helping his allies (however temporary they may be). When they attack, they are theatrical, brutal, and designed to destabilize rivals rather than enrich themselves. They are a rapidly growing faction within the city, most prominent in the Coil and Saltspire Row.
