Nathaniel Wrigglesworth
Captain Rocco Slaughter
Captain Lothaire Etienne
Warned of the consequences, threatened with being disbanded, the Orphans struggle to pull themselves together and form their union. They will not be deterred. They have lost their ability to fear.
"Fear be the feelin' inside we all be gettin' when things ain't right. Fear nothin' and some call ye brave, others know ye ta be a fool. Know this, fear is both a powerful ally and deadly enemy ya either control, or it controls ye."
Nathaniel Wrigglesworth, still a boy by most standards, becomes a man, a captain and a leader. While fleeing England on one of the prize ship's of the Royal fleet, they nearly become fish food, saved from that fate by Captain Slaughter and Scupper. Now they sail to uncharted waters and unforeseen troubles.
Sea of Crocodile Tears
A boring lull for the Orphans leaves them with restless spirits. They ache to return to the sea. After much deliberation, and some plotting, a ship becomes the only thing they need to make their dreams come true.
