The place was big, luxurious, colorful, full of art and various golden treasures, yet all that was worthless. Even the beautifully engraved red and golden throne that the man was sitting on was meaningless.
He had an appearance that screamed of strength: heroic brows, angular jaw, piercing gaze, short hair that was perfect for fighting, bulging muscles, etc. He also possessed a tyrannical aura that rendered people speechless. Yet, he was weak. Well, of strength, not of character.

Most people became pirates because of desperation or for their destructive pulsions. He was slightly different. Warmonger would fit him more. For him, heading a and of pirates was but a mean to an end. His means would end up as nightmare fuel for the others.
