Hercule Pimpernel

Hello to all!

My Name is Hercule Pimpernel, 18 years ol’ and hungry for action in these traitorous seas. My father took me sailing from a very young age and since then I have been hooked on exploring the oceans’ greatest mysteries.

I’m slim, around 6ft tall with tanned skin and short brown hair. I’ve got a couple of piercings in the left ear and brown eyes. I never knew my mother, but my dad said she was a good nurse, which is where I get my steady hands from. My father was a skilled carpenter and hence this trade was passed on to me too.

On my first voyage out to sea, my father and I joined up a crew of merchants who were heading to a port not far from Port Peril to trade our goods, however, we were ambushed by Pirates. I was 16 when I saw my dad walk the plank into a sea covered with feeding sharks.

I spent two years working on that pirate ship as the surgeon, turned out that the surgeon before me met a terrible fate after trying and failing to restore the captains hook back to its original glory. This taught me to learn the trade quickly or be next to walk slowly and reluctantly into the depths of death.

My cunning skill set and creative mind allowed me to salvage pieces of clothing and change my appearance significantly. My luck changed when I heard some crewmen were going to row down to Port Peril after dark. I sneakily knocked one out with drink before taking the last spot on the rowboat. Where I find myself, planning my next move to escape the bandits who killed my father.

The crew enter the Formidably Maid, and here I wait until they are drunk enough for me to slip by….
