Name: Pancha Kurnoff

Age: 33

Rank: Gunner--in charge of the maintenance and use of the ship's cannon, as well as training the crew in their operation.

Inventory: Flintlock blunderbuss, cutlass, dice, deck of cards, an ironbound chest filled with expensive cutlery, mirrors, jewellry, and women's clothing.

Origins: Copper Town on the Tiamallan Archipelago; a place so distant has never seen or heard of it again in his travels

Background: Pancha Kurnoff was, from a young age, obsessed with cannons and destruction. His parents, in an effort both to satisfy him and rid themselves of his troublesome antics, put him aboard a navy vessel as a powder monkey. After a year and a half's service they were taken by surprise one night, fired upon and boarded by the crew of the Sea Dragon. He was captured, imprisoned, and later employed once more as a powder monkey--although this time he found his environment far more enjoyable. He quickly learned the use of cannons and other explosives, and served on the ship for six years, until it was sunk off the coast of a land known as Iptilea. There he engaged in banditry for some time, and his flight from the law led him to Rolandra's ship, where he was recruited as a mate until the old gunner died in combat.
