Appearance:
Personality: A confident and cunning young man, Bolitho is ultimately out for himself but understands having the support of other men is better than having to fight them. He was born and raised a gentleman and likes to try and keep this part of himself on as a front, a young and charming, rugged man with his own ambitions that come before all else. Respect is a powerful thing and Hugh both hands it out and demands it according to how a person acts, always aware that it is earned, never given.
History:
Born and raised the son of a veteran of the English Navy it's fair to say Bolitho was a promising child, he outshone his younger brother both in school and physical activities.
Aged 16 he followed in his farther's footsteps and joined the King's Royal Navy and three years later he was shipped to far side of the world.
He served his time for a long and worked his way up the ranks, from midshipman to officer to deputy luitenant and by the age of 23 he had made quite the name for himself. It wasn't enough though, the rigid and monotonous daily life, the months out at sea with no sight of land, the petty share of prize money, he wanted more. Bolitho was one of the ringleaders of a mutiny on his ship, with little resistance the captain was overthrown and sent adrift with his supporters leaving Hugh in charge.
Many of the crew left to start new lives in an independent America but Hugh stayed at sea, a privateer? A deserter? A pirate? He didn't decide what he'd call himself but he joined a series a rag-tag crews comprised of other deserters, run away slaves, foreigners and colonial rebels.
After years of drifting he heard of a captain named Sparrow and sought him out, in time he found him and joined the pirate crew.
Skills:
Navigation, he can read charts and work out a ship's location with the most basic of information as well as making his own charts.
Duelling, like every gentleman Hugh can both swing a sword and shoot a pistol.
