Description:
Captain Slade is a tough man. Having survived "the Great War" was not by accident. He is a hard working captain of a merchant ship he has christened as "the Pegasus". He delivers goods to, and from Port city. You name it, he ships it. He is a native to the city and usually can be found toiling away in the docks when he is around. He lives on his ship and keeps a small crew under his command. He demands a lot from them, but he pays well. A father figure to most, probably because of his age, and also from all the good advice he gives to everyone. He has a lot of common sense, and he is a legend with logistics. A simple man, he doesn't have a lot, but what he does have is sentimental and precious to him.
When the war came to Port City, he became involved in the resistance. How he managed to scrape through it without being black bagged is a mystery to everyone. A lot of his friends didn't make it, and he doesn't talk much about it. A man by the name of Ben Rose was perhaps his worst loss. A dear friend indeed. They had grown up together in the city and were more like brothers. He tries to look after Ben's father, and daughter Delilah as best as he can, but Delilah is a bit of a handful and doesn't come around as much as he'd like.
Rumor is that Slade is in with the Crimson Fists. Some say he is their leader, but he denies both claims and silences any further inquiries promptly, either by word or fists. No one knows for sure, but one thing is for certain, it's best to stay on his good side. Slade doesn't tolerate much lip, from his crew or from any one for that matter. He seldom leaves the docks, but when he does he is usually around the Shanty, or around the merchant districts, usually drinking it up with the boys. He loves telling epic stories about the old days when he drinks.

Skillset:
Slade can man most any vessel, be it air or sea. It is all he has ever done. He is good with a blade, and isn't a very bad shot either. He is very strong for an average size man due to all the lifting he does around the docks. He is very good with logistics and great at figuring things out from a tactical angle on the mechanics of certain situations. He also knows a good bit about artillery and ordinance. During the war he was on an artillery squad up on the walls and manned one of "the big guns" as he fondly refers to them.
Equipment:
Slade carries an ornate sabre that was given to him by his father from the old Governor of Port City for his many years of service to the city. He also carries a number of flint lock pistols... says he loves all the smoke and powder burns. Says the new guns don't have that certain flare that the old ones do. not enough drama.
