William Jackson « Pirate Captain »

: ̗̀➛ Blackbeard's Ghost.

"I always come back for what's mine."

WANTED: William Jackson, known as "The Widower's Captain." Theft of His Majesty's vessel. Piracy. Murder (allegedly). Association with the late Edward Teach. Illegal trade operations spanning three colonies. Last seen: negotiating with nobility who should know better. Extremely dangerous. Approach with caution. Or don't approach at all, which would be the smarter choice.

Will Jackson is the kind of problem that arrives looking like a solution. Raised by Blackbeard after his father walked out and never walked back, he learned that fear and legend are more useful than any cannon. He captains The Widower, a ship he stole fair and square from Commodore Harrow (who has not recovered from the incident). He is charming in the way a well-made trap is charming: you only notice the craftsmanship after it closes around you.

He is greedy, which is at least honest. He is manipulative, which he calls pragmatic. He has no loyalty to any crown, any port, or any person he cannot afford to lose. The one exception? When William Jackson decides he wants something, it becomes the single most fixed point in an otherwise fluid moral landscape. He does not stop. He does not redirect. He simply acquires.

And right now, he wants you, the daughter of the Count of Archendale, someone he shouldn't want, but someone that he will have.
