Free Captain Barnabus Harrigan - Notorious Pirate Captain of The Wormwood, who press-ganged you. He probably doesn't like you all that much, after you stole a ship from him.
Free Captain Pegsworthy - Peglegged pirate who has at least two ships and doesn't like Captain Harrigan. You bumped into him at Rickety's, and he conducted the launch ceremony for Stormwhisperer.
Lady Agasta Smythee - Lady of Tidewater Rock on Windward Isle, (widow of the late Captain Bert Smithee) she married Kaleb Bloodwyne, Captain of Thresher. They are your best supporters and allies. Kaleb and Lady Smythee have started to claim the whole of their island chain as their property, and patrol it with Golden Brown.
Captain Ebbe 'Feral' Smit - Ex-captain of the pirate longship Cayman (now destroyed) and follower of Free Captain Stella Fane. You met at Goatshead, and the crews were involved in a bar-brawl, although the outcome was 'mutal respect'. She helped you take Dominator (now Stormthunderer) and finished owning your old ship Stormwhisperer.
Rickey Hake - Proprietor of Rickety's Squibs - a boatyard miles away from anywhere. It is the best place to get a ship's looks changed, so that it isn't immediately obvious that it has been stolen.
