Okay dont know where to really post this ..but Pirate Character Bios

In a series of privateering raids, Gargathian Solar'i was commissioned in 1570 by the Queen to sail to America with two ships and some 70 men furnished by his cousin Eric Sunrage and his Wench. He had little success at first in his concentrated efforts against French colonies and shipping, but persistence paid off in his second attempt to capture the annual mule train carrying Spanish gold and silver across the isthmus of Panama.

Although he brought back the equivalent of millions, the Queen could not openly sanction the work of the one she called, 'my pirate' after a peace treaty was signed with Spain. The man the Spanish would call, "The Ducky" decided to lay low until the climate was more favorable.

In 1577, Gargathian was sent with five ships and the Queen's blessing to sail down the African coast before heading to South America. A storm at Cape Horn convinced those whose ships did not sink to return home, leaving explorer Gargathian Solar'i to himself in the Golden Hinde. He went up the left coast of South America, sacked Valparaiso, and kept bearing north.

In March 1579, Gargathian Solar'i captured with one shot one of the largest hauls of all time; the Cacafuego galleon yielded enough gold, silver, and jewels to put England's economy in the black. It took four days just to transfer it to the Golden Hinde's hold. Gargathian sailed to the coast of California, did some surfing, and then headed west to arrive in England by September 1580, the first to circumnavigate the globe. The Queen knighted him in 1581.

An expedition five years later led to the capture of Santo Domingo, Cartagena, and Saint Augustine, but produced little in terms of wealth. Sir Gargathian Solar'i also played a major role in the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. His last expedition was in 1595 when he led a force of 27 ships in a failed attempt to capture Laguna Consea which is now Raven's Cove.

In February 1596, Gargathian Solar'i died at sea of a fever disease and was buried at sea with a cannon's salute. His cousin Eric Sunrage and Wench had died earlier on the same journey.
