He has no issue with making the tough decision and is loyal to a fault. Can be the voice of reason to those who need it. <br/><strong>Background:</strong> Liam was part of the Esperanza's crew before the ship and its Captain went missing. Of everyone, he was likely the only one who dared call out Rose on what a terrible decision she was making. This would likely not have ended well for anyone else, but the Captain never acknowledged his words, and simply vanished. <br/><br/>Before becoming a pirate, Liam Scott was a hardworking son of a hardworking family. Fishermen who one day fell prey to a pirate invasion of their small seaside hometown, he was left an orphan at the age of thirteen. He got dragged on board and spent the following years as first a deck swab, later a powder monkey. Despite his initial aversion, eventually the pirate life grew on him, all the more when the very captain who had destroyed his home was himself killed by the Devil's Serpent, who took Liam aboard, where he slowly worked his way up the ranks. Years passed, and he became a more and more valuable asset to any Captain. Rose agreed, and the moment she gained control of her own ship, she approached the man and offered him a spot as her first mate. Other pirates laughed and mocked her audacity, but fell silent when Liam accepted. Seven years of prosperity ensued, which abruptly ended after they recovered the Santa Maria's treasure, and Richard Morgan took his dark revenge. <br/><br/>Left on land, with a mountain of treasure and no idea what to do with it, he did the only thing he could think of; he went back to fishing. Liam bought his own fishing boat and spent the next four years making a modest living off the coast of Saint Martin. It was here that he was ultimately found by Rose, who, without word or explanation about the past, asked him to rejoin her crew. Of course he accepted. Again. <br/><br/><strong>Strengths:</strong> Keeping calm, an excellent swordsman with a down to earth attitude. Has a great sense of humour. Has years and years of sailing experience under his belt and therefore has a lot of knowledge about the stars, the currents, the ways of sailing and all the old wives tales. Enjoys telling stories that may or may not be true. <br/><strong>Weaknesses:</strong> Loyal to a fault. Can't see out of his right eye well. Can easily be swayed with good brandy or an egg and bacon breakfast. <br/></span>
