Aesino de la Nave

Lore

Spanish Main

The "Ship Killer" is armed with huge bore cannons capable of devastating short-range damage. Capitán Gonzalo Mora first rose to prominence on her deck.

When the Asesino de la Nave was captured by the Revenant after refusing to surrender, El Fantasma put the entire crew to death. When Capitan Gonzalo Mora managed to recapture the ship a year later, it was said that the screams of the dying could still be heard.

(Note: The second paragraph comes from a version of this ship called "Aesina de la Nave," which is only in the first addition of the Spanish Main set. Since that ship's flavor text says "Aesino," we could assume this is a typo. However, it could work either way. Google translate says aesino means "assassin," while aesina means "murderess." They're probably the same word, but applied to different genders.)

Almirante Devante del Nero

Lore

Spanish Main

Almirante del Nero, commander of the Armada de Barlavento, is a man driven almost mad by his zeal to rid the Spanish Main of pirates. To fail will be to fail his duty to God. His vision is so singular that he even secretly corresponds with his nation's enemy, Governor Lynch of Jamaica.

Barbary Coast

While he hunted pirates, Spain lost ground to all the other nations on the Crimson Coast. Now Del Nero has expanded his personal crusade to include any who oppose Spain—not only pirates.

Admiral Morgan

Lore

Spanish Main

Henry Morgan was once a feared buccaneer. Sailing under letters of marque from Sir Myngs and Governor Modyford, he became wealthy by sacking Spanish Caribbean towns. Governor Lynch sent him to England to stand trial for his crimes, but instead he was knighted and made admiral of all the English fleets on the Spanish Main.

Trivia

Sir Henry Morgan (1635 - 1688) was a privateer of Welsh birth, who made his name in the Caribbean as a leader of sea pirates and buccaneers.

Later in his career he became a "pirate hunter" and the controversial "stand-in Governor" of Jamaica. Many of his critics said he was, and always would remain, a Pirate at heart, so could not be trusted.
