NAME: John Napoleon Darling  AFFILIATION: Pirate aboard the The Lost Wench WEAPON OF CHOICE: Rapier  OCCUPATION: Student, son of a merchant  MAGIC STATUS: Mundus  BIOGRAPHY:

John Darling’s earliest memories are of the sea. 

He was only four years old when he boarded a ship bound for Swynlake Port, his mother pregnant and his older sister leaning over the bow of the ship, tasting sea spittle before they ever left the dock. By the end of the trip, his sister would be lost-- taken by the waves, though John swears it was the mermaids who beckoned to her-- and John would never see England again. 

But he always dreamed of the ocean and that siren’s song, as well as the wide and miraculous world beyond the shore. By day, he obeyed his father, studying so he might one day become a successful merchant in his father’s stead. But when the sun set, John devoted himself to other trades: sword fighting with the local blacksmith, sailing in the harbor, fishing in the port, and learning the ways of the mermaids. He only ever expressed such dreams in letters to his cousin across the ocean in England. And that’s all they were-- dreams.

That is, until wayward, long-lost Jane Darling showed up not a moment too soon and offered him a place on her ship. 

It means turning his back on his family. It means becoming a pirate. But it also means freedom from the life he never wanted. 

Freedom is a treasure too precious to waste.
