Once captained by Isabella “Inkskin” Locke, Thresher was used in a raid against Lady Smythee's castle at Tidewater Rock. It was a fierce battle, and Isobella was almost successful in her attempt to kill Lady Smythee, which was only thwarted by the intervention of Kaleb and the whole of the party. Lady Smythee forged an alliance with the party as a whole, that she with sealed by a 'Shackles Marriage' with Kaleb. She and the party went after the ship that had delivered Isobella, and now Kaleb commands it. Thresher is a constant reminder of what happens to Lady Smythee's enemies.

She is a bit smaller than a traditional sailing ship and carries less cargo, but her straightforward rigging plan means she can sail with a smaller crew. However, she is slightly faster and more manoeuvrable than most vessels. In combat, she opens with her siege weapons, then the 'guards' deal with the crew while Kaleb, Zaid, Jim and Carla deal with the officers. Amira and the sailors defend their own ship. Kaleb, and Thresher, operate as pirates and smugglers. She is based at Tidewater Rock.
