Category:The Council of Bones

Chosen from amongst the fiercest, brightest, and most dedicated of the pirates to sail the Seven Seas, the Council of Bones are the supreme rulers of the Isla de Oro. Each serves a distinct purpose in cultivating the pirate culture that is at the heart of life on the Isle.

Dread Lord Grim
Dread Lord Grim leads the Nightwatch. A true terror to behold in any light, he is nonetheless a beloved staple of the Isla de Oro. He maintains the vigil over the island’s inhabitants while most are sleeping, alongside his dedicated crew of fellow undead sailors, all of whom owe their continued existence to Davy Jones. He also has a somewhat strained relationship with Yarrbot, who insists on helping him with his duties in his own particular way. It is a frosty but civil watch they keep together. (See Nightwatch in the Library for the origins of their rapport)

Bardkat Rev
Bardkat Rev is often regarded as the musical soul of the Isle, and he employs that distinction to great effect. Whether he is serenading his crewmates in the Tavern or on his weekly Pirate Radio show, Rev's Reverb, he never fails to keep his audience entranced. This translates as well to an inborn talent for command, and since taking his own helm has served the Council admirably, and become beloved of all Isla de Oro’s citizens.

ItsAnEye
Taking command of the Vixen's Fury during Salty Fox's sabbatical, Eye has ever been a logical choice to lead. Her origins have ensured that she is a dedicated servant of the Isle, and leads with a fire and focus unparalleled. Few of the Isle’s denizens are so admired, and still fewer bear the adoration with such grace and candor as this sometimes curious, sometimes frightening specimen does, which are monumental achievements given the fact that she is, indeed, not even human.

O'Fortune
The love of guns and gold has ever driven the pirate O’Fortune, and he rode the wave of both all the way to the helm of the Gutless Goon, and beyond. Taking over leadership of one of the most hallowed ships in the Fleet is a daunting task, one he proved himself more than equal to. When he rose to the Council, it was to raucous cheers and merriment, everyone recognizing that it was a long time coming.

"Iron Chest" Johnson
 Few of the pirates of the Isle arrived with Johnson’s raw fervor and work ethic right out of the gate, a value he thanks his estranged parents for. He proved his worth very shortly after arriving by volunteering for every raid and duty he could possibly perform, and made his way through the ranks of the Jazzbox’s crew very quickly. During his term as the elected People’s Lord, Ebone stepped down, and he became an easy choice to fill the vacancy. His spirit is infectious, and the Isle bustles more than ever under his watch.

-The People's Lord-
 As a special function of the democracy which is sacred to all pirates, the Council of Bones holds monthly general elections to appoint one of the common folk to occupy a temporary position among their ranks. This 'Honorary Lord' serves as a direct Voice of the People, as well as learning how the Council works, and being made aware of the weight of responsibility borne by the Pirate Lords. This facilitates easy communication across all levels of the hierarchy of the Isle. The Seat is currently occupied by:

"Seabound" Binkie
 Few pirates have ever come to the Isle with as acute a goldlust as that of “Seabound” Binkie, and his thirst for wealth and thrills has propelled him through the ranks of skallywaggery at breakneck speed. “All or nothing” has ever been his motto, and among the Council, that has earned him wide renown and respect. He was the obvious choice to take over the helm of the Gutless Goon following O’Fortune’s ascension, carrying her crew along the razor’s edge between riches and ruin with the deft footsteps of a lifelong gambler.
