Weasel
-Name: Fredrick J. Johnston aka "Weasel"
-Age: 35 years old
-Gender: Male
Height: 5'7"
Body: Scarred, built but slim
-Backstory: Fredrick was born to the English, aristocratic Johnston family and personally hated the rich lifestyle. After the mysterious death of his parents, he was sent to an orphanage and was denied his inheritance until he came of age. At the age of 16, he received more than enough money from his inheritance to leave the orphanage and be the 'free man' that he had always dreamed of. He turned to a life of swaggering from brothel to tavern, drinking and gambling, and the many pleasures that he ever thought of.
In a short year or two, Fredrick found that he had little to no money left in his pocket and searched for paid work. He joined a ship as a privateer and immediately fell in love with being on a ship, sailing from place to place, even doing those pleasurable things he had done before - just not as much as he used to.
Eventually, Fredrick joined a Captain named James Rever and his crew and was promoted as First Mate within a couple of years sailing at the age of 28. Soon after, an unfamiliar cabin boy joined the crew and raised Fredrick's suspicions. Seven months later, the crew found the cabin boy to be a young lady. Not surprised, Fredrick condemned the young lady to death. As in the pirates code, any woman found aboard a ship is considered bad luck and thus, in Fredrick's consideration, is immediately condemned to death.
After the death of the young lady and the murder of Captain Rever, Fredrick dubbed himself 'Weasel' and the crew named him Captain.
At the age of 34, Weasel's crew committed mutiny against their captain and marooned him on an island. Fortunately, Weasel found a way back to civilization and seeks more work. Though, his biggest prize would be fame, fortune, and his name printed in the history books even after his death.
-Classification: Pirate
-Specialization: Quartermaster
-Other: Years after keelhauling the young lady all those years ago, he came across her - or her ghost - once again and was taken prisoner as revenge. The young lady, bound for eternity as captain of another ghost ship given to her by Davy Jones, showed Weasel what life he had taken away and what advantage she could have been as his crewmate. Weasel eventually fell in love with her and was given a silver key he wears around his neck, unknowing of when or if he'd see her again.
He also has a knack for singing and playing his accordion.
