Esteban Hernandez Ventura de la Torre

Dark smiling eyes beneath a tousled mop of brown hair and a thin carefully groomed goatee mark out this rascally man, more so than his slightly shorter height and unremarkable build. Genial and charismatic, he plays to it with a russet waistcoat over billowing-sleeved linen shirts and loose dun pantaloons. Though his eyes are smiling, they are sharp and miss little aboard ship or on the horizon.

Aboard ship he carriers a pilferred cup-hilt rapier of the English style, a mismatched brace of ballock daggers and a black powder pistol. Like most Spaniards, he wears a flat felt hat - an early tricorn.

Sometimes he can be found on the sterncastle playing his viol. His music is full of passion, though can be stormy or sorrowful depending on his mood.

Reputation and Rumours:

- Bastard child of an British Naval officer, conceived during the ill-fated Cadiz Expedition
- Fought for the Spanish in the Franco-Spanish War, rumoured to have been a privateer or smuggler
- Press-Ganged and served in the British Navy, first against the Barbary Corsairs and then in the Spanish Main
- Believed to be a pirate now, based out of Tortuga
- Known as the "Spanish Rook"
