The Legend of Jack Seaflint: Captain of the Scarlet Rose

Wanted Pirate
Jack Seaflint started out as a freelance captain, a privateer, at the young age of 16, and captured the attention of many a mans eye. He was hired by the highest bidder, to carry out unspeakable tasks at sea. Everything from escorting ships, to sending others to Davy Jones 'imself. Eventually, the East India Trading Co. took notice of ol' Jack, and reached out to him. Seaflint was soon hired on as a Captain for the EITC, manning the wheel of many a ship, but mostly, the finest War Frigates on the Caribbean waters. But Jack grew tired of working for someone other than himself.

One early morning, Seaflint reported to his Commanding Officer that he would be going to Tortuga, and offering the pirates infesting the island a pardon, hoping to reduce the population of pirates on the High Seas.

This was not his plan.

Upon arrival, Seaflint met with the finest pirates on the island, and plotted an attack on the East India Trading Co. The attack was ambitious, and dangerous. They would take Jack's EITC frigate, into the bay. There, they would find 6 of the EITC's Galleons, loaded with gold, weapons, and gunpowder. They would strike the middle ship, loot her, and light her gunpowder, blowing up all of the ships in the cove. Afterwards, they would take Seaflint's frigate, and make for Padres Del Fuego, and begin a life of pirating, and privateering. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan. Jacks crew was captured aboard the EITC galleon, while trying to stuff their pockets with gold. Seaflint' made it to the powder kegs before he was swiftly knocked out by the musket of an EITC thug.

When Seaflint woke up, he was in a prison cell, with a strange character, by the name of "Jack Sparrow", who helped him escape his cell, and return to Port Royal, just narrowly escaping the grasp of ol' Jolly Roger. When arriving in Port Royal, Jack met another pirate, who had also met the strange Jack Sparrow, who was simply named, Blackheart, Captain Blackheart. The two of them split the cost of a medium class frigate, and sailed straight for Padres Del Fuego, with the intentions of commandeering a war ship, and they did. Ripe for the taking was a beautiful Brig, with 12 deck cannons, and 12 broadside cannons per side. They sent their frigate full sail into the docks as a distraction, as they jumped overboard, and swam to the brig. As the Navy was reeling back at the ship that just crashed into their docks, the war brig was sailing out of the bay. Jack later named the vessel "The Scarlet Rose" and instated Captain Blackheart as his first mate.

They say the Rose be a fearsome ship. Fat with cargo, as she's got one of the biggest holds in the sea. You can tell when she be on the horizon too, aye, you'll see the beautiful blend of red, gold and black, and the sails, be black as night, with the shadowy image of a rose printed on them. Aye, she's quick, and cunning. They say any who be a part of the crew, be linin' ther pockets with thousands o' gold. The best way to find the wicked ship, is to wait for a quiet evenin'... when the waters are calm... that's when she strikes. When ye least expect it, but not other pirates, no. Ol' Jolly, the EITC, and the Royal Navy. Aye, Jack reigns terror on 'em, and stuffs his pockets. If ye ever get the chance to climb aboard the Scarlet Rose, ye best know what ye be dealin' with. For when that day comes, ye'll be part of a legend.

So mates, there ye have it, the story of ol' Cap'n Jack Seaflint, and the fearsome Scarlet Rose. Now, how 'bout another round on me, eh fellas? See I've recently met ol' Seaflint, and he be lookin'... fer a crew...
