Captain Firebeard is a charismatic and daring Dwarf pirate, known for his love of freedom and his fearlessness in battle. He is the leader of The Freebooters, a loose confederation of pirates who reject the idea of a Pirate King or any other kind of central authority. Despite this, they still follow the Pirate King's rule, knowing that they risk being culled from the pirate nation if they don't. Captain Firebeard is a short, stocky Dwarf with a thick red beard that is often lit by the flames of his signature pipe. He wears a long, dark coat adorned with golden buttons and carries a cutlass at his side. His voice is deep and gravelly, and he has a way of inspiring loyalty in those who follow him. Captain Firebeard is known for his daring raids on wealthy merchant ships, and his ability to evade capture by the navy. He has a keen mind for strategy, and often devises plans that are bold and daring, yet surprisingly effective. Despite his love of freedom, Captain Firebeard is also a shrewd businessman, and is always on the lookout for profitable opportunities that will benefit his crew.
