Jake

Jake's crew is called The Crimson Tide Brotherhood. Their black-and-red flag strikes fear into every port. The crew is made up of skilled swordsmen, navigators, sharpshooters, and explorers from every corner of the world. They are not merely pirates but a family bound by loyalty. Anyone who earns a place among them gains brothers and sisters for life. The Brotherhood often hides in the legendary pirate haven of Nassau, a bustling Caribbean port where smugglers, merchants, and pirates once traded fortunes. Jake has countless allies there and just as many enemies, but no one dares challenge him within the city walls. Stories about Jake spread across every sea. Some tell of the time he captured three treasure ships in a single night. Others speak of an island fortress he conquered without losing a single sailor. There are even whispers that he discovered a hidden sea filled with untold riches but refused to reveal its location. Yet Jake's greatest treasure is not gold, jewels, or conquered lands. It is his freedom. He believes that the sea belongs to no king and no empire, and as long as the wind fills the sails of the Scarlet Phantom, he and the Crimson Tide Brotherhood will continue to chase the horizon, seeking new adventures and leaving behind legends that future generations of pirates will struggle to surpass. Among sailors, one saying has survived for many years: "If you see crimson sails upon the horizon, pray they are heading somewhere else… for Captain Jake never returns empty-handed."

His weapons are as famous as he is. At his side hangs a finely crafted cutlass, nicknamed Sea Fang, and hidden beneath his coat are two flintlock pistols reserved for desperate situations. Despite his reputation, Jake dislikes unnecessary bloodshed. He believes that a clever plan is worth more than a hundred swords. His personality is a strange mixture of kindness and ruthlessness. To his crew, he is fair and loyal. Every pirate aboard his ship receives an equal share of the treasure and knows that their captain would never abandon them. To his enemies, however, Jake is relentless. He despises betrayal above all else and never forgives those who break their word. Jake has several unusual habits. Every morning before sunrise, he stands alone at the bow of his ship and watches the horizon in silence. Before entering battle, he flips an old gold coin, though no one knows whether he trusts luck or simply enjoys the ritual. He collects maps and old compasses from every land he visits, keeping them in a locked chest inside his cabin. Another peculiar habit is feeding the seabirds that follow the ship, claiming they carry messages from sailors lost at sea. His ship is known as The Scarlet Phantom. It is a massive three-masted vessel with dark wooden planks and crimson sails that can be seen from miles away. The figurehead at its bow resembles a sea dragon with glowing emerald eyes. The ship is swift enough to outrun warships and sturdy enough to survive the fiercest storms. Legends say that the Scarlet Phantom has never been captured because the sea itself protects it.

Jake became a pirate so long ago that even the oldest sailors can no longer remember when his name first appeared in port taverns. Some claim he was once the son of a nobleman, while others swear he was born during a storm on a forgotten island. Jake himself never confirms any tale. He simply smiles and says that the sea is his only homeland. He is one of the most feared and respected pirates to have ever sailed the oceans. Countless merchant ships have fallen to his cunning, entire islands have surrendered without a fight, and even naval fleets would rather change course than face his black sails. Jake is a tall man, standing around 190 centimeters. His lean yet athletic build speaks of years spent fighting, climbing rigging, and surviving storms. His movements are calm and measured, but there is a hidden strength in every gesture. He rarely raises his voice because he never needs to. One command from him is enough for his crew to obey. His appearance leaves a lasting impression. Long black hair falls over his shoulders, often tangled by the sea wind. Several thin braids are woven into it, decorated with small rings and charms collected from distant islands. His face is pale from countless nights under the moon rather than the sun, with sharp features and dark eyes that seem to read a person's intentions before they speak. His slight smile is perhaps his most unsettling feature, for his enemies never know whether it means mercy or disaster. Jake wears a magnificent pirate captain's hat adorned with a golden skull and crossbones. Sailors believe the emblem brings luck to his crew and misfortune to those who oppose him. His dark red captain's coat, trimmed with gold embroidery, has weathered countless battles but remains elegant. Beneath it he wears a white vest over a black shirt, practical enough for combat but noble enough to command respect. Around his neck is a black scarf, a gift from the first captain he ever defeated.
