Pluto

Not much is known of Pluto’s background, implicit leader of the Sharkhunter Fleet and its eternal Admiral, except it involved at one point a long and distinguished career with the Imperial Navy. Exactly what prompted Pluto to seek out the company of his present rogues, and to engage with the shadier side of humanity on Pirate Island, are questions mostly left unanswered. One of the sitting members of Pirate Island’s all-important “Council of Four”, the business-minded Pluto has also made a name for himself as the founder of the Island’s most famous watering hole – the Red Ruby. That is, as much as for his bloodthirsty actions at sea that have helped to transform the Sharkhunters and Evera’s Black Rose Fleet into the terror that it presently is, and resulted in Pluto’s own nearly unrivalled status on the Island.

The strange, sharp-looking fishbone over Pluto’s shoulder serves as a constant memento of a long campaign of revenge against a vicious shark that slew many of his former crewmembers. Pluto spent years hunting the beast famously possessed of semi-supernatural powers. His eventual success certainly helped to cement the Admiral’s reputation among the crew – and ability to use cunning traps when suited.

Pluto’s good looks, melodious voice, and flirtatious manner easily lends itself to scandal on the small island society. Although Pluto maintains the illusion of other dalliances, in truth he only has eyes for one – the elite dancer of his Red Ruby, Flarence. And it is the supposed drama between the two that tends to generate the most salacious pirate gossip. Reality is stranger still. So complex are the Island’s affairs, and so accessible is information on the high seas, the Pirate Island’s Council has added a secret fifth member to manage the lucrative business of intelligence-gathering for the fleets. The director of the same? None other than Flarence, the deceptively alluring dancer who commands the eyes and ears of every patron in the tavern. And the manager of this establishment, Admiral Pluto, is naturally keen to make every use of such a perfect business opportunity.
