(Captain Nicholas 'Black' Heartt, Captain of the 'Black Lantern' and its crew. The Black Lantern, one of the biggest, well armed ships in the history of pirate ships. No one has ever snuck aboard, and not a soul has left.)

(The Black Lantern had been anchored at the dock of the 'Isle of Thieves', a place of piracy, greed, and of course, lust. Not only a lust for wealth and blood, but for the women on the Isle, too. Slave traders that sold and rented women were very common on the Isle.)

(The Black Lantern and its crew had set off from the dock of the Isle of Theives. They had all they needed for storage and food stock for the next few months.)

(... little did they know that they had a stow-away...)
