Captain Hector Barbossa (Technically)

Ragetti

Pintel

Captain Warrick Calhoun (Pirate!)

Jim Brass

Captain Edward Kenway (Fights like a Devil dressed like a Man)

So please send the Vampire Gazette your questions and we’ll herd the Pirates (be something akin to herding cats) together to have a panel discussion to answer your questions.

Character Introduction / Integridad Kin Clan2

Sylum Inspiration: Javier Espesito

Integridad: Hunter

 

Javier keeps mostly to himself. He swore loyalty to Azeem and used his skills as a Hunter. In time he also works with Andrew Kiernan in jobs that need to be taken care of.

Javier moved to the New World in the late 1700’s. He knew Benoit from traveling around Europe and knew the new Clan Leader would need Hunters.

At the moment he works as a New York Police Detective, keeping an eye on the Castle family as a favor to Mal.

He wasn’t quite sure what to make of the small Irish Detective, who became his partner.  There had been many times in his life he hadn’t felt he deserved at Mate, but Kevin kept him grounded.

After Michael Westen disrupted their life and introduced Kevin to the MacManus and Vampires, Javier knew he was going to have to tell him everything.  So when Ryan returned from Ireland, he sat him down and told him things he never told anyone.

Kevin took it with the dignity and calm that he had always associated with him.

He Turned him the next weekend, and makes sure to treat him like he deserves to be treated.

Teaser from Dead Man’s Chest

Calhoun’s gaze settled on his Mate, a small smile spreading across his face.  In the past few years he looked more Pirate than English Lord.  The dark hair was browner, having been bleached by the sun, and was longer than when he had first had his way with the Englishman, the black velvet tie was no longer used to pull it back but instead tie of the braid that was settling on his shoulder.  The fancy clothes were replaced by durable sea worth wear, a cutlass strapped to his side, with two side arms settled against his lower back.

Over time he had discovered he wasn’t actually an English Lord, but a Roman.

After they had Mated titles really didn’t mean anything to him.

English Lord.

Roman Lord.

There was no difference.

Neither would secure safe passage in the Caribbean.

Until he saw the Roman truly come out, and it was far from the English Lord he played.  Warrick watched in awe and ended up horny as hell as his Mate ripped to shreds a group of soldiers working for the East India Trading Company that had the audacity to arrest Captain Calhoun.

Tony and Timothy had broken him out of the cell, while Nick finished off the soldiers.  The grace and brutality that he used to dispatch the idiots was beautiful.  For a moment he had thought he was looking at another who was known ‘to fight like a devil dressed as a man’.

When Nick pulled his sword from the soldier’s gut watching as he fell next to his comrades, then turned towards Warrick eyes flashing – he had been tempted to drop to his knees.

Anthony slid next to him, smirking slightly.  ‘Captain, I would like to introduce you to the Roman General Nicolaus Valerius Meridius.’

Author’s Note: A big huggy Thank You! to The General for all the help … We won’t talk about the Bunnies that were launched with afterburners on full. LOL

The names of the full moons are taken from American Indian Moons. As someone who has the greatest respect for indigenous traditions around the world, and as a practioner of some of those traditions … I have taken a teeny bit of poetic license with the legend of the Ancient Puebloans that built the cliff dwellings in the Four Corners area of the southwest United States as they ‘may’ pertain to Anasazi (Frank Hopkins).

Cicero has always stayed close to Maximus, but kept his distance at the same time. He mostly takes care of the home and ranch in Trujillo.
