Name: Handsome Dan
Profession: Royal Navy Captain
Home: Marleybone
Weapon of Choice: Cutlass and Pistol
Dan grew up on the streets of the Isle of Dogs, a penniless beggar who turned bully and thug as he got older. Though seemingly destined for a life of crime, his fortunes changed forever one night when he was abducted by a press gang and forced into the Royal Navy. His shipmates gave him the nickname "Handsome Dan," which he carries to this day.
Dan's will was as strong as his body: he took all the toils and travails the life of a jack tar could offer and laughed. A burgeoning love of sky ships and sailing bloomed in his heart, and he found himself rising through the ranks to the position of Boatswain.
Dan's life changed forever during the Napoleguinic Wars, while serving on the HMS Indefatigable. During a surprise attack by a Polarian flagship, the captain and most of the senior officers were incapacitated by the enemy's brutal barrage. Dan took command of the ship, rammed the "Indy" into the enemy ship, and led a boarding party to take the ship. Dan earned a promotion for his quick thinking and bold action, and soon found himself a captain in the Royal Navy, where he served with distinction.
