Character Description

Edward Addison was the son of William Addison, a ship's chandler in
Portsmith, England. Soon after he joined his father and his partner,
Joseph Tailor, in the business, Tailor absconded with the firm's cash,
leaving behind mountains of debt and evidence of massive fraud.
William Addison died of a heart attack in debtors prison, and Edward
was shipped out to the Carribean as an Indentured Servant. He escaped
that life as soon as possible, fell in with a bad crowd, and ended up
among the Buccanneers. A disagreement with his last captain (who
started the voyage as just one of the hands) left him at lose ends on
Tortuga.

Contacts

Josephus Willowsdale (Expert 6) - Josephus is a tutor to the children of wealthy merchants and plantation owners. As such he travels quite a bit amongst the English colonies of the Caribbean. He met Edward on the voyage over from England and saw a fellow connoiseur of languages, helping Edward with the Patois tongue.

Edina MacPhearson (Commoner 2) - 'Nanny Mac' was once Edward's wetnurse and substitute mother. Edina now works for a somewhat prosperous merchant in Port Royal who has a reputation for dirty dealings, which is saying something for a Port Royal merchant.
