The Pirate Musketeers: Meet the Crew #2

Name : Akbar

Height: 6' 6"

Weight: 254 lbs.

Country: Egypt

Occupation: former slave, warrior, pirate, and Quarter Master of the Purgatory.

Akbar was discovered by Captain Byrd and the crew of the Purgatory hung from the main mast of a slave-trade ship adrift on the ocean. Captain Byrd and his men boarded the ship hoping to raid it of any supplies that were left. Much to their surprise, they discovered that Akbar had survived. They quickly cut him down, and he has been a valuable part of the crew ever since.

The pirates learn that he had lead a rebellion against his captors hoping to free himself and his enslaved companions. They were successful, and for a time he captained the ship. He and his crew had turned pirate in order to survive on the seas, but were hoping to find their way back home. They were then discovered by one of the ships of the slave-trade company. They lost that battle and Akbar was hung then and there for his actions. It was three days before Captain Byrd and his crew found Akbar.

Akbar is the fiercest fighter among the crew. His heart is like that of the lions that roam the plains of his homeland. At times he seems to possess unnatural physical strength. His vocal cords have been damaged, therefore Akbar rarely speaks, but when he does it is wise to listen.
