Flint Brinetide

''Knight-Errant Flint Brinetide is a convicted criminal loosed & leashed by the very Empire that imprisoned him. The Phoenix Empire, under assault from a variety of external threats, was forced to get creative in dealing with them. In a rare act of leniency, the Empire commuted Flint & his crew's sentence to "Prison at Sea" with command of the rumored-to-be-cursed frigate 'Ashborne'. To date, Flint is not allowed to set foot on Empire soil or drop anchor in a harbor lest he be hanged for the treasonous crimes for which he was initially incarcerated. This has led Flint to acts of questionable moral & ethical behavior, yet his efficiency at eliminating Empire threats allows him a measure of leniency. Gritty, cunning, & darkly charismatic, Flint continues to bide his time doling out punishment to any that dare cross cannons with him; an angry mastiff the Empire cannot keep leashed forever.''

Flint, unlike most Empire captains, cares little for fair fights. His capacity to punish close range boarding and ramming actions leaves most ships crippled and dead to rights.
