Etienne Rougeau Human (m), Bard 4 (swashbuckler)
Age 43 years
Alignement Lawful Neutral Divinity Catholic
Etienne was born in a small village near Quebec in Nouvelle-France in 1670. He learned among indians the way of the wilds, and spend years of his youth as a voyageur paddling canoes down the canadian rivers in search of beaver furs. He fought the Iroquois 5 nations as a militian up to the Great peace of 1701, specializing in wrestling duels (an Indian way to start or end hostilities). He knows the basic of all North American languages.
Then, he considers travelling oversea to improve his culture and gather news songs, poems and tales to tell his children back home. When the Spain succession war began, he enrolled in the Navy. He raised as a lieutenant, his perfect balance from years battling from canoes giving him a great hedge on a ship deck and his leadership and experience were greatly appreciated.
He came to Antillas smuggling a fur cargo in violation of mercantilism french economic laws. His company wants an higher profit shipping cargo in Martinique instead of France. He doesn't like violating laws, but his loyalty is to his family, then his friends and after law. He knows too well about how arbitrary is a governor or a king's law.
