Biscuit

Cabin boy, cocky and devious

Age: 14

Only you and Crusty the cook knew that he was your father. You are cocky and frequently speak out of turn but are quick to become submissive when confronted.

Crusty had always been abusive towards you—and moments ago, as the lantern blew out in the cave, you took your chance, grabbed Captain Nobeard's gun from the floor and shot Crusty. Before the lantern could be relit, you quickly replaced the gun in its original position.

Tenzin is eyeing you suspiciously—does the parrot somehow know that you shot your father? The parrot's accusing gaze is making you feel guilty. You must eliminate the bird before it somehow squawks your crime to the captain or Silvertongue!

With Crusty dead, your thoughts have suddenly turned to what to do with your new-won freedom. The Captain and Silvertongue have agreed to split it 50/50, but if you act the wounded innocent boy who has lost his father, perhaps they might cut you in? Even a small share would set you up well once you return to port.

Other characters

• Captain Nobeard: An effeminate captain with a bit of a vicious streak. You and the crew frequently tease him about this—although you're always careful to become placatory just before he blows his top. The captain is fond of you and allows you to get away with more than most of the rest of the crew.
• Silvertongue, first mate: An overly organized ex-navy man. He also seems quite fond of you. At least he never bosses you around.
• Tenzin, the parrot: What does the stupid motor-mouth bird know!? You must get rid of it before it blabs something. Now you wish you hadn't put the gun back down!
• Crusty, your father (deceased): Dead by your hand and you're glad of it. He was abusive and unkind to you—but always only in private.
