Siobhan "Kettleshot" McCarthy

The First Pirate Queen

Siobhan McCarthy, famously known as "Kettleshot," etched her name into the annals of pirate lore as the first woman to hold the coveted title of Pirate King, a position traditionally reserved for the most feared and respected buccaneers. Born into nobility, Siobhan's life took a dramatic turn at the age of 12 when she became the sole survivor of a ruthless campaign against her family. Fleeing to the lawless frontier of Hius, she forged a new identity as a cunning Wildspace captain and strategist.
Her crowning achievement came in the aftermath of the Chroma Rebellion, when the fleeing Dragons sought to establish dominion over Hius. It was the first time in along time the Pirates of Hius banded to gather to crown a council of Pirate Kings. Despite breaking with tradition by being a woman, Siobhan's nomination as Pirate King was met with unanimous approval, making her the first-ever Pirate Queen.
Siobhan's rise to prominence, audacious exploits, and daring feats of piracy blur the line between fact and myth. It is said that she once captured an entire Navy Frigate full of Soldiers while going into labor - for the expressed purpose of capturing the ship's doctor to safely bring her child into the world. Stories also tell how she married a noble Prince and made off with a sack full of jewelry on the wedding night - three times, always with the same Prince. She also took control as captain of the Destined Doom shortly after it was finished - for about a day when she decided the ship was not her style and she gifted it to one of her daughters that was able to beat her in an arm wrestling contest.
Siobhan's legacy endures as a symbol of defiance and empowerment, exemplifying the indomitable spirit of those who dare to defy convention and forge their destinies in the Wildspace — a legacy carried forth by her descendants.
