Barnacle Bashim

Pirate in the Euxine Sea. Rumor tables have suggested he has teamed up with Black Rachael, whoever that is.

Another rumor has it that his ship has been sunk repeatedly, but he keeps coming back.

Seems to have moved recently into the Mediterranean Sea, perhaps because he has exhausted plunder elsewhere.

Is said to be in possession of Zulfagar, the Prophet Mohammed's sword, as well as a large trident, thought to be the Trisula of Cleitus the White, which would explain his conquest of the sea.

His ship the Tigress is apparently crewed by himself, Black Rachael, her two sons, and two dozen men. Given that this is an exceptionally low complement for a pirate vessel (let alone a famous one), he may emphasize quality over quantity.

Arch-rival of Captain Halcyon, who deeply resents Bashim's fame. "They should be talking about me!"
