Pirate: While carrying a number of aliases, Fireblood is name that is often on the lips of those who frequent portside towns, especially taverns. While no longer affiliated with the pirates under the Admiral's command, his name and his crew have some notoriety in Vylbrand.

Merchant & Smuggler: Despite being a pirate first, above all else, Fireblood is also a businessman of sorts. He uses his ship and the goods he's acquired to trade and make sales in the black markets of a number of ports. For the right pay, he's also been known to move other merchant's less-than-legal goods. Most of his contacts lay in the eastern seas, his home waters will always be tied to Thavnair.

Spellsword: Fireblood is a unique talent. His mother was a capable mage, but he himself lacked the focus to hone his skills into actual practice as a rebellious youth. The magic he knows, he keeps simple. Using a focus in his cutlass, Fireblood is able to manipulate flame to coat his various weapons. Fire is an element he feels most comfortable with, and his flashy use of it is what gave him his current moniker.

Toffgiem "Toffy" Redsail: Fireblood's first mate and right hand woman. She's a mountain of a Roegadyn, towering over most of the crew. But she has a jovial nature, and is almost a bit too chipper to be a pirate. She doesn't speak much on how she came to be with the Crimson Tide, but it's clear she has been at Fireblood's side for quite some time. She was the first to take the name 'Redsail', honoring her loyalty to the Crimson Tide and forsaking whatever old life she had.

Hrok Lagasch: A grey-furred Hrothgar with a bad attitude. He tends to be the man the captain calls on when some extra muscle is needed, though his official title is that of quartermaster. Hrok doesn't take kindly to people not part of the crew, and he honestly doesn't like most of them either. He is the guy that makes sure folks do their job and stay out of trouble on the ship. Most days, it doesn't even seem like he cares much for the captain himself, but they have some sort of understanding.

Guthor Warsoul: An imposing highlander man with intricate red tattoos covering most of his face. Despite his outward appearance, he is actually a medic and worked for the Resistance before joining the Tide. He knows a bit of conjury, but relies more so on old-fashioned medicine. The man is also a complete mute, or at least has chosen never to speak a word to anyone before.

Timothee Redsail: An elezen youth no more than sixteen. After causing a bit of trouble for the captain and the crew by smuggling on a cursed skull, the deckhand has been working hard to get back into the captain's good graces. On good days, Fireblood lets him fly their recently acquired manacutter. On the bad, Timothee is piled with enough duties to keep him busy from sun up to sundown. He admires Fireblood greatly, and it's clear he sees him as some form of pseudo-father figure.

Rana Marjan: Fireblood's mother owns a small inn in Radz-at-Han. The boy made her life incredibly difficult when he was young. He spent most of his younger years in various amounts of trouble, despite knowing she was raising him on her own. The two share a rocky, yet somehow loving, relationship these days and he often returns to visit her and bring her gifts (ill-gotten or otherwise). She's an incredibly spirited woman and calls him 'Azar' though neither acknowledge it as his birth name.

Edward Thatch (Deceased): Fireblood only ever met his father once, and the experience left him with a large scar on his face after the exchange. His mother would tell him how much he was like his father, walking in nearly his exact footsteps. But the man was never around, anyway, and he can't be sure if he likes being compared despite knowing the truth of it. As far as Fireblood knows, Edward Thatch was a Limsan born pirate that died some years back after the law caught up with him.

Ellere Valahan: One of many unfortunate women to fall for Fireblood's charms. Several years ago, he met her while in the Limsan port and introduced himself under one of his many aliases, Tomas Thatch, a merchant. She believed him. But he took what he wanted, then left, as he always did. Recent circumstances had them reconnect in a rather life-changing way. And while she told Fireblood whatever debt he thinks he has to her no longer exists, some part of him will always regret hurting her in the way he did.

Ruran Vas: Fireblood met Ruran through Ellere, where the soft-spoken knight openly defended her when he made to convince her (by force) to help his cursed crew. The two formed a rather unusual bond, despite the circumstances. He finds he respects Ruran, giving him the rather teasing nickname 'Hero'. Part of him actually believes he is even though Fireblood is too jaded to believe in tales like that anymore.
