Cthulhu & Brilliant Ignorance
Jeriko for Captain Wolfgang
Male, 50-65. A slight German accent is preferable but not mandatory. A gruff baritone, Wolfgang’s voice commands a scene.
A bitter old-timer, Wolfgang is in search of a lasting legacy, and he doesn’t care who he has to scare, hurt, or betray to achieve his goal. He is of German descent, but grew up in America. Despite this, he calls the sea his home. He is a manipulative narcissist eager to toy with others emotions to feel power.

(catching his crewmen slacking) I think you should get to your morning duties, lest there be repercussions?
(up to interpretation) Glorious! That’s great to hear buddy. And might I say, you just smell terrific, you smell of the flowers of Summer. Hear, have a Scotch. You are Scottish, aren’t you?
(physically grappling another crewman) See fellas! This is what happens when you mess with the captain! I am your boss, I am the one who signs your checks when you get off this godforsaken vessel at the end of all this, hell, I’m the one who decides whether you’ll survive to see land again! I am the foreman, the proprietor, I am your governor, and for the next few weeks, goddamnit I am your messiah. This man, young Peter, was attempting a mutiny. Seems like some of you do not value my taciturnity. Those of you in agreement with this philosophy are more than welcome to jump overboard. However, if you wish to stay, and not be claimed by the sea, I suggest you keep your doctrine to yourself and get to bloody work!
