A few days ago, when I first met this Pirate gentleman, he was still the warehouse administrator of the "Man-Eating Shark." Today, at our second meeting, he has already become the captain.

Even though he currently lacks a title of his own, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see his name on a Level 1 bounty notice one day. To be honest, I have a strong hunch that this could be an excellent venture capital project, worthy of substantial support from the company's special fund.
