betrothal to a boorish suitor.  She soon became a pirate, serving happily aboard the Red Lady until her lover, Captain William “Bonny Bill” Teach, was slain during a mutiny lead by his first mate, a vile dwarf named Dirty Steve.  Sully and her friend Nate Black were marooned as punishment for opposing the mutiny.  They eventually escaped their island exile and made their way to Freeport.  Now the Captain of the Albers, Bloody Cate is known far and wide as a ruthless and bloodthirsty pirate served by a loyal group of female warriors, the Devil’s Concubines.  Sully laments the loss of another love, Buster Wallace, a member of the Captain’s Council of Freeport.  Unable to give up her life at sea, Sully left Buster, but her feelings for him are still strong.  She was angry and hurt when he married another and fathered a child.  Sully recently acquired another nickname, One Eyed Cate, when she lost her left eye battling a vile aberration known as an Ocularon.Nate Black’s (CN half-elf bard 6/ Freeport pirate 4) father, Horatio Blackthorne, was a respected captain in the Thonian navy until he was betrayed and framed for piracy by his friend Captain John Flint.  Blackthorne and his crew were hanged and young Nathaniel was sold into slavery.  Nate escaped, eventually joining the crew of the pirate ship the Red Lady, where he served until he and his friend Sully were marooned after taking the wrong side in a mutiny.  The pair eventually made their way to Freeport, where they acquired their own ship.  Nate now serves as the first-mate of the Albers.  His constant companion, Spank the monkey, is always ready to provide a little comic relief.It was no surprise that Bronson (N human cleric 10), second son of a well-to-do family, chose to enter the priesthood.  His family was shocked, however, when rather than join the influential temple of Maal, god of justice and Judge of the Dead, Bronson instead chose to join the small cult dedicated to Maal’s son, Aster.  Bronson’s family was even more troubled when he became obsessed with Aster’s most radical teachings, that even the most unnatural of creatures, the undead, are deserving of protection and guidance.  Bronson left his home to found a temple of Aster in the pirate city of Freeport.  He has gathered a small but growing following among the living and the undead of Freeport.  Recently Bronson has begun to turn more and more responsibility for the running of the temple over to his assistant, Elias Scrimm.  Bronson has begin to hear the siren call of undeath and explore the path to lichdom.Tavaari Naaldren (CN half-elf rogue 4/ sorcerer 6) is the illegitimate son of the former empress of Thonia and Lorrem Erendyl, the Prince-Ambassador from the elven kingdom of Alfheim.  Tavaari lived his earliest years as the son and heir of the emperor until his parentage was discovered and he and his mother were cast from the palace.  He was raised by a small elven clan on the borders of the empire until wanderlust called him, eventually leading him to the city of Freeport.  Tavaari heads a growing criminal organization involved in smuggling and the buying and selling of information and influence.  His organization recently expanded into the production of a popular new drug, White Smoke.  Tavaari’s familiar is a cat named Kitty.Queg (N spell-stitched bone half-orc ranger 6) was a harpooner on a whaling vessel before his ship was destroyed and he and his fellow sailors turned into undead monsters by the vicious necromancer Remy Deadarm.  Queg served aboard Deadarm’s ship, the Dreadnaught, for several years.  Eventually Deadarm’s control slipped during a battle and Queg cast himself overboard.  Free of the necromancer’s control Queg traveled to Freeport.  He was taken in by the temple of Aster, and soon entered the service of the temple’s chief cleric, Bronson.  Queg’s animal companion is an eagle named Ishmael.Miranda Swallows (CN wizard 8) was sold into prostitution at age 14.  Brilliant, eager to learn, and extremely persuasive, Miranda picked up various skills from her clients, from languages to cigar-rolling to magic.  Unfortunately, shortly before she as ready to use her new abilities to escape her life of servitude Miranda’s spellbook was stolen by the infamous bugbear pirate Captain Mange.  Determined to escape her cruel masters and regain her spellbook she ran away with one of her former clients, a vile and misogynist merchant captain named Touchole.  Life with Captain Touchole was nearly as insufferable and degrading as her previous career, but new hope dawned when the vessel was seized by the pirate ship the Albers and Touchole was slain.  Miranda joined the crew of the Albers and discovered respect and friendship that she had never experienced before.  Eventually she revealed her history to her new captain, who helped her acquire a new spellbook.  Now Miranda is Bloody Cate’s loyal cohort and a member of the Devil’s Concubines.  Miranda is a master of enchantment and evocation magic.  Her familiar is a sarcastic quasit named Daniel.The mercenary Jack Naaldren is in fact M’ord (CN serpent folk swashbuckler 6), one of the shapeshifting
