Another mate on Baaracko's ship, Rum Master's addictive personality gave him little incentive to ever advance beyond swabbing the poop deck, content to bathe in the dark amber ambrosia that kept him in a perpetual stupor. When Captain Gorebeard took over the ship, he was not concerned with the changing tide, if he even knew it took place. As long as he gets to drink, fight, and plunder, nothing seems to matter, and the compass in his pocket points truer than the one for his morals.
When The Shroud is hired to assassinate a powerful magician, Syphon is the member of the elite killing squad who gets the task. Syphon has no allegiance to a particular god or mystical source-in fact, he considers these to be crutches and weaknesses for those he is sent to kill. Once he drains them of their mana and magical abilities, they are simply defenseless, easy prey, and their incantations and prayers are soon silenced.
Vanish is the most elusive member of The Shroud. She is a master of shadows, using her target's own shade against them and blending herself completely into darkness to move undetected among the gloom. When-or if-you do see her, it is much too late.
A glorified "yes man" to Captain Gorebeard during Baaracko's reign as captain, Cockatoo moved up in rank alongside the rotund usurper. He is the eyes and ears aboard the vessel, telling Gorebeard all the things the deckhands say or do in private. Entrusted with the treasure map of the fabled Grimoire of Power (in case the crew mutinies and kills Gorebeard), he stands beside his captain with beady, piercing eyes, ready to fight or fly, depending on what the situation calls for. He is a bothersome, oversized loudmouth whose allegiance is only to whoever happens to be in charge. With an impressive wingspan and the trust of the largest man on the ship, his annoying presence transforms into something far more fearsome.
Husher is leader of The Shroud and the ultimate assassin, capable of altering his attack style to quickly dispatch any target. Those who prove difficult to kill find their own strengths used against them when Husher harnesses the dark, murderous magic contained within the four ancient blades he carries, each capable of inflicting tremendous harm. When they are combined into the Blade of the Shroud, a weapon controllable by only the most skilled assassin alive, his targets are quickly hushed for good.
Captain Gorebeard is a corpulent, greedy, obnoxious pirate captain with no sense of morality. His gigantic stature and history of murder has allowed him to take command of the Bloodtide Brigade, a team of pirates previously under the command of another captain, by using physical and mental intimidation. He seeks only hedonistic pleasure, gorging on food and surrounding himself in stolen treasure, while his crew maintains his lifestyle in fear of losing their own lives. He would stab a man in the front just as soon as he would stab them in the back.
