Cyren
Head Wench
You've heard tales of those Sirens of the Sea that lure men to their untimely deaths along the reefs with their song. That be Cyren for sure. Recruitment has always been problematic for The Blackheart. Unwilling sailors bludgeoned with a belaying pin can only be of so much use. But Cyren lures them willingly and they surrender to her siren song, coming aboard ship with nary a single whack to the head. When she's not recruiting, she serves as the Executive Chef aboard ship, whipping up amazing food with such mundane stocks as rancid flour, boweevils, rats and an occasional block of moldy cheese. |

Animal
Master at Arms
6-String Guitarist in The Pyrates Band
Crazed by the tepid heat of the tropics, Animal was found adrift in a little dinghy off the coast of Cayman. After drinking The Blackheart dry of its supply of fine and not so fine rums, he became lucid once again and recounted the unbelievable tale of his marooning and subsequent travails. We all thought him to be a quite jolly lad but a little dingy (not dinghy). So we chained him to the capstan in case he had another bout of the horrors.

Water Rat
First Mate Emeritus & Token Irishman
Baritone Ukelele and Vocalist in The Pyrates Band
Hailing from Belfast, Water Rat was pressed into service aboard the The Blackheart after he was captured in a battle with the sloop, Irish Rover. Promoted from chief bilge bailer, Water Rat has worked his way up to first mate and chief musician. A wily rogue of a pirate, his spry wit, boundless puns and musical numbers keep the crewe entertained during the long months at sea. He has been with the crewe for an astonishing 27 years - no one has put up with the Captain that long!!!! |
