Almirante Carlos Pavón y Miranda

Lore

South China Seas

Headquartered in Manila with a fleet of older ships, the almirante has found himself increasingly detached from the court in Madrid. His goal is to visit each island in the Philippines to make sure they are loyal to him—and possibly also to Spain.

Admiral Yi

Lore

South China Seas

Given the title “General of the Sea” by the Crown, Admiral Blake is the supreme commander of the English fleets. With a selfless sense of duty, he has created the greatest naval force the world has seen, and yet he is still considered a gentleman, a sailor, and a scholar.

Trivia

Most likely a reference to Yi Sun-sin (1545 – 1598), who was a Korean naval leader noted for his victories against the Japanese navy during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598) during the Joseon Dynasty.

Yi is also known for his innovative use of the turtle ship, the world's first armoured warship.

He is reputed to be one of the few admirals to have been victorious in every naval battle (at least 23) that he commanded.

Accused

Lore

South China Seas

With a crew of convicts the Accused loves the irony of her name. Gray's crew would rather die freemen at sea than spend another second in the Australian penal colonies. (Linked to Bruce Grey)
