"Iron Chest" Johnson

BACKSTORY
The man who would become the feared pirate “Iron Chest” Johnson began as many do: a young man with honest parents, whose honesty did them few favors. His mother was a seamstress; his father, a fisherman. His mother went about making and repairing the nets that his father then cast to haul in the ocean’s bounty, as it could be found. It was a meager but sufficient life for most of his childhood, and he followed in his father’s footsteps when he was old and strong enough to handle the tackle.

It all changed one fateful day when the ship he worked aboard, the Fairy, was beset by a band of pirates. The sea dogs plundered their cargo and killed every last one of his mates, sparing only his own life at the last minute when the captain of the skallywags, one Harvey Jingles, took an inexplicable shine to him. Taken under his fearsome wing, Johnson soon grew to appreciate and enjoy the pillaging and raiding life over that of his upbringing, though he still missed his parents mightily from time to time.

On one particularly calm day, when the crew were at their ease, they were quite suddenly run upon by a large schooner moving impossibly quickly, with a wicked ice ram at its prow. The beast clove their vessel clean in two and kept going, as the sea swallowed both halves in an instant. All hands went down with it, except for Johnson once again, who was fortunate to latch onto a simple wooden chest, floating among the wreckage. He floated atop that box for days, finally alighting on the shore of Isla de Oro. Seeing that chest as his salvation, he holds it as sacred to this day, and had it wrapped in iron bands shortly after introducing himself to the Council, earning himself that moniker on the spot.
