NOTE: We are specifically seeking Black talent for this role.
The Captain is a dreaded pirate–although anyone who called her that to her face would find themselves on the bad end of a cutlass. With decades of experience on the sea, she is a woman in her early to late middle age (50-65). She is a fearless leader, harsh when crossed yet compassionate and disciplined with her crew. At some point in the past, she lost her left eye and had it replaced with a sapphire prosthetic…all the better to intimidate her foes with.
The young First Mate is her protege and adoptive daughter, who she has been preparing to one day captain her own vessel.
When the Brass Eagle Tavern appears on her ship, the Captain has to decide what will happen to her unwanted visitors. She is fully aware of the intimidating effect she has on people, and uses it to her advantage when making sure Amara, Ellis, and the Keeper fall into line.

CAPTAIN, looming: I don’t know you, my crew doesn’t know you, and it’s going to be a bitch to try and navigate a ship with a building on it. Do you see my dilemma?
CAPTAIN, humorless: I’m glad you understand. I’m not a woman who makes a habit of repeating herself.
CAPTAIN, a bit tipsy and sentimental (Leaning in): You don’t believe me? Fine. I’ll be sappy, for once. I’ve watched you grow from a scared child into one of the most capable sailors on the sea. Your potential would be wasted here. It’s time to take your cut and seek your fortunes elsewhere. You understand?
