Remy LaFontaine<br/>aka "Captain Remiel"<br/><br/>(http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/4163/brandh.jpg)            (http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/2458/mybrand.jpg)<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Clichés</span><br/>Swashbuckling Pirate Captain (3),<br/>Drunken Liar (3)<br/>Treasure Hunter (2)<br/>Degenerate Gambler (2).<br/><br/>The son of a French diplomat father and an English aristocrat mother, Remy "Remiel" LaFontaine was born in Dover, England in 1633.  Groomed toward a career in the political arena, Remy showed neither talent nor interest in his father's profession, preferring instead the wide blue expanses of the open sea.  Much to his parents' dismay, he enlisted on a British merchantman bound for Barbados, eager for adventure and willing to seek his fortune.  Unfortunately, the sloop was intercepted en route by the dread pirate, Brand D'Faedn.  D'Faedn killed the captain and all the ship's officers and press-ganged its crew into indentured service.<br/><br/>For years, D'Faedn threatened LaFontaine with death -- "Good night, Remy, and good work; I'll most likely kill you in the morning."  The threat never materialized, however, and eventually LaFontaine was assimilated.  After a heated argument between D'Faedn and his crew (regarding the allotment of the spoils from a successful raid on a Dutch trader, in which D'Faedn was accused of keeping most of the plunder for himself)  the crew mutinied, keel-hauled D'Faedn, and elected LaFontaine as captain in his stead.  Discarding his given name, assuming the mantle "Captain Remiel" instead, the new captain led a successful campaign of hit-and-run tactics on naval traffic throughout the Caribbean.  His crew generally holds him in high regard, as he is generally democratic in his approach to distributing wealth; his vices consist mainly of rum and women.  As he himself is fond of saying, "the recipe for a content man is a wench in one hand, a bottle of rum in the other."<br/><br/>Captain Remiel  comes equipped with flintlock pistol, sabre, and grenado (primitive grenade).  He is an alcoholic, a drunken lout, with a tendency of being too grabby toward any women in the vicinity.  He is especially fond of his former first mate, Myobi--although he'd never admit it.<br/><br/>His ship, the<em>Dusky Lady</em>, is a three-mast, six-cannon barque (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barque).<br/><br/>(http://robot-club.com/pirates/ship-2000.JPG)
