Warrick Calhoun<\/a> in 1687 AD, in Port Royal, the third child in a family of seven. His father, William Calhoun a free black man, took his family to the small island of Jamaica to keep them free from the risk of slavery, but his hopes for his family were not to last long. William died from an unknown illness when Warrick was nine years old, leaving the family vulnerable.<\/p>\nWarrick watched as his older brother and sister were captured and sold into slavery, whilst he protected the youngsters, and saved his mother.<\/p>\n
To avoid that fate himself, Warrick ran off and became a cabin boy on a Pirate ship, taking a berth on the Red Stallion on the eve of his tenth birthday.<\/p>\n
He grew up to become a feared Pirate, under the tutelage of Captain Jericho Brown, for whom he became a valued and trusted First Mate. Upon tiring of the Pirate life, Brown ran off with a merchant\u2019s daughter to settle down in Spain, leaving the ship to Warrick.<\/p>\n
As Captain, Warrick became a well known Pirate Hunter, and a true gentleman of the sea. If a Pirate needed to be caught, Warrick was the one usually contracted for the job. He brought in every man he set out to claim bounty on. His friend and Quartermaster was James Brass, who would tell anyone he knew the\u00a0Red Stallion<\/em>\u00a0better than her Captain.<\/p>\nWhile boarding a small merchant vessel in 1723, he found himself with more than mere treasure, for Fate had brought him face to face with Nicolaus Valerius Meridius.<\/p>\n
(Dilios Note:<\/strong>\u00a0recently rumors have started that the story of who Warrick is, has started to adjust and change \u2026 it would seem the pirate was hiding more than we all knew)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sylum: Co-Leader Born Warrick Calhoun in 1687 AD, in Port Royal, the third child in a family of seven.
