![[Blackbeard.png]] # Captain "Blackbeard" Thorne _Human Retired Pirate | [[The Crimson Kraken]] | [[Neverwinter]]_ ## Summary A retired pirate who runs [[The Crimson Kraken]] tavern in [[Neverwinter]]'s Dock District. He's got the whole swashbuckling look—black beard, gold tooth, tricorn hat—and loves telling stories about his seafaring days. The tavern's become a popular spot for adventurers and sailors. Gave [[Gex]] his magical scimitar after their duel. %% ## At a Glance Epitome of swashbuckling pirate with bushy black beard, single gold tooth, and twinkling eyes. Wears weathered tricorn hat, velvet waistcoat with gold buttons, well-worn cutlass at side. Booming, jovial baritone with hint of salt air; speech punctuated with hearty laughs and occasional sea shanty verses. Sailed the seas for decades as one of the most charismatic pirates of his generation. Known as much for his storytelling and larger-than-life personality as for his skill with a cutlass. When age and changing times made piracy less appealing, he used his accumulated wealth to transform [[The Crimson Kraken]] into [[Neverwinter]]'s premier tavern for those with adventurous spirits. ## Personality Boisterous, charismatic, full of life. Natural storyteller with wistful longing for his seafaring days. ## Quote _"Ah, there's nothing like a good tale over a tankard of ale to keep the spirit of adventure alive!"_ ## Stats **Veteran** (MM 350) with sailing expertise and tavern management skills. %%
