Name: Samuel Strathclyde Rank: Privateer Captain DOB: January 13, 1679 Hails from: Dumbarton, Scotland

Captain Samuel Strathclyde is a true man of the sea. He is a veteran seaman, well versed in sailor's lore, a seasoned hand with the sword and pistol, and an inventive tactician on the naval battlefield. On the other hand, he is overconfident, egotistical, reckless, and lacking in the common sense that keeps equally skilled mariners out of danger. He places more faith in his abilities to command and get out of predicaments than is warranted, perhaps. This goes doubly for his prided vessel, the Seaworthy: an aging ship-of-the-line in a state of ongoing disrepair. Combined, these dispositional handicaps make Captain Strathclyde a very unpredictable and sometimes dangerous individual to encounter on the high seas.

A legitimately commissioned privateer by His Majesty, King George I, Samuel Strathclyde has nevertheless been suspect in a number of incidents regarding smuggling, commerce raiding, swashbuckling, and unsavory public acts whilst intoxicated. Also, his questionable culinary preferences as of late have raised concerns among high society circles. Despite his abundant oddities and unnerving habits as a commander and individual, Strathclyde commands surprising respect (and at the least, tolerance) in the maritime community at large. His crew may appear exasperated at times, but they will defend their Captain to the bitter end. This man should be approached and handled with caution, but as of yet he remains a friend to the Crown.
