The Celtic Sea was ruled with an
iron hand by a name that struck fear in the heart's of
sailors: Clan O'Driscoll! Expert seafarers with a
reputation for ferocity, none dared sail their waters
without their leave. No ship, barrel, or maiden was
safe!
But the last great O'Driscoll set
his course for the Barbary nearly a century ago.
Weened on the tales of his
ancestors, Devlin set off to recapture his family's
glory. At twelve years of age he stowed away on a
fishing vessel, making his way to England where he
signed on to the first ship out. He spent the next
several years charming his way across the Mediterranean,
taking on any skill his fellow seafarers could offer and
absorbing everything.
While in the employ of the East
India Company, Devlin got into a fight with the
Quartermaster. This unpleasant man took great joy in
abusing the sailors under his command. In the ensuing
“argument”, Devlin stabbed him in the throat and watched
him choke on his own blood. The captain, a proper
English gentleman, felt that an Irishman killing an
officer in any case was bad for morale.
Clapped in irons below deck,
Devlin wasn't sure how long he had been there when he
was awakened by cannon fire. His eyes could not even
make out the figure that offered him the choice between
his present circumstances and the hospitality of a
pirate. Watching his former vessel burn, Devlin offered
his services to his new captain and crew.
