His crazed desire has led him to replace parts of his body with the gold and jewels that he so desperately craves, making him one of the deadliest treasures waiting to be discovered by foolhardy pirates. It is rumoured that in life, he was the leader of the Gold Hoarders, who took their name from his.

When it comes to privacy, DeMarco loves the spoils and pageantry. He’s always well-dressed, with a roguish smile on his lips.

Charming, handsome and skilled with people, DeMarco lacks the drive to succeed that pushes his sister… unless there’s a very large sum of money involved!

Once there, however, she succumbed to the cursed treasure found below the island and was transformed into a Skeleton Lord. She then encountered the Gold Hoarder, who promised her a cure if she agreed to do his bidding.

Fearful that she was now an outcast, Briggsy reluctantly agreed to serve the Gold Hoarder, though she defied his orders and merely hid the Shroudbreaker’s pieces rather than utterly destroy it.

The Company initially struggled to survive in a world devoid of law and order, until an exasperated Mollie risked asking pirates for help. She reasoned that their knowledge and experience would make them ideal candidates to procure and ferry commodities that, while of little use to them, would see them well paid in gold if the cargo reached its destination. This arrangement has proven mutually beneficial, and the Alliance is beginning to flourish.

Graymarrow is fond of ‘marooning’ his victims, binding their spirits to the place where he defeated them. Souls trapped in this way cannot reach the Ferry of the Damned, and this prevents Graymarrow’s enemies from returning to the living world and taking revenge. Needless to say, few pirates are willing to confront Graymarrow, lest they find themselves trapped in limbo forever.

Some of the chests the Company seeks are cursed, making them dangerous to handle, and Humphrey is not immune to their ill effects. His many years as one of the Gold Hoarders have left much of his body covered in a distinctive golden sheen, which he views as a badge of honour and sign of prosperity.

She’s dreamt of adventure on the high sea since she was very young, and makes it a point to test her mettle against anyone who doubts her. This drive to succeed has made her sharp, but it has also cost her an eye.

Always the pirate, Lesedi is prone to using the missing eye to her advantage, blaming it for running into people whose pockets she wishes to pick.

The Order has developed incantations and rituals to extract secrets and knowledge from the bones and artefacts of those who came before; specifically, the locations of long-lost treasure hoards.

Olivia is able to use her unique talents to extract knowledge from skulls and encode it onto parchment as maps or riddles using magical ink, which she trades to the Gold Hoarders. As a performer, she enjoys hamming up the occult elements of her work.

Merrick is a little shifty and nobody ever really believes him, leaving him a little sardonic and bitter, but he's a romantic at heart. Most recently, he and his brother Derrick have set up The Hunter's Call Trading Company, taking advantage of a new trend sweeping the seas – “fishing”.

Any pirates who flourish on the seas should return to speak with the Mysterious Stranger, as he has many more secrets to share with those who are worthy...

Having recently been released from his ethereal prison, Pendragon is eager to make amends for his mistakes and return to ridding the Sea of Thieves of any undead menace. Pirates willing to hear his story need only travel to Shipwreck Bay and explore the remains of a very famous galleon...

It is not known what strange affliction or potent elixir has allowed Jim to retain his youthful appearance, but he often allows history to swallow up his misdeeds before returning to commit some new treachery in his master’s name. This was the case when he betrayed the Forsaken Shores Alliance, seeking to see them perish in the ash-filled air of the Devil’s Roar.

The ship’s crew are forbidden to use the door and must remain in service while the Ferryman scours the Sea of the Damned, rescuing wayward pirates. Some say he’s really in search of his secret obsession – which, depending on who you believe, might be a lost love, ancient enemy or something far more sinister…

No-one’s sure what circumstances led to the death of the Pirate Lord, but rumour has it that his spirit still resides in that same tavern, a place where only true Pirate Legends are permitted to tread. Few know if this is true, but no self-respecting sailor would pass up an opportunity to share a drink with the Pirate Lord himself.

Duke despises the companies, believing that the voyages they offer are antithetical to real pirate values, and should focus on the thrills of discovery and danger rather than gold and commendations. He’s fond of creating challenges and contests that push pirates towards the unknown, and is usually the first to know when anything new and exciting is happening somewhere in the Sea of Thieves.
