Rousseau L’Imperturable

[WIP]  

Backstory

  Former marine in the Yurgalian Navy, Rousseau has spent the years since his discharge on the high seas, from mercenary work to smuggling to downright piracy. The charismatic swashbuckler speaks with a heavy accent that can be nearly incomprehensible at times, but those in his company are always certain of his general good cheer and joi-de-vie -- especially with a stiff wind at his back and an even stiffer drink in his paw.   Rousseau doesn’t like to talk about his discharge from the navy, or the circumstances surrounding it. Those who have enjoyed a round of drink with him dockside or heard him regale the crew with tales of impossible audacity out on the open sea have trouble making sense of the grim set to his jaw and the clouding of his face when the topic comes up. But those who have stood with him in the midst of battle, when blood is drawn under steel and powder blast, and have witnessed the red haze that fills his eyes as he bends his entire being toward his prey, the hunt, the kill… well they might have more of an inkling, and would perhaps rather not know more of the soldier’s past than what they’ve already seen.
