Elizabeth Drake

Elizabeth Drake rose to fame after she killed the psychotic and tyrannical Captain Jake Morgan of the Barracudas and took his Sloop Of War The Banshee into the tropics of Mazorta where she proceeded to prey upon Albish merchant ships delivering goods to Port Grand.

In a daring move Captain Drake seized the small Valanese port town of Jedra on the island of Taramalaos and held it for two months until the Albish sent a squadron of sloops and a Frigate to wrest the town from her grasp and arrest her for piracy. Despite their best attempt Elizabeth was forewarned and managed to escape Taramalaos before the Albish arrived.

Rather than admit defeat Elizabeth sought out a new haven at Cestrefel Reef where she paid Pirate Captain Jeremiah Flynn a fair price for safe harbour.

During the battle of Khadir as Albish and Valanese relations finally broke down and Albish sloops traded blows with Valanese galleases Elizabeth Drake got the weather gauge of an Albish Brig of War called the Defiance and, seizing the opportunity, she led a boarding action onto the ship and stole her right from under the noses of the Albish navy.

The seizing of the Defiance earned her the moniker "Defiance Drake" and made her famous throughout the tropics of Mazorta.

Unfortunately this action also caused the Albish navy to put a large price on her head and pirate hunters began sailing out of Port Grand in droves determined to find her and count their reward money as she swung from the gallows.

Prudently Elizabeth Drake decided that she had outstayed her welcome in Mazorta and she and her crew returned to the lawless sands of Santigar.

"Defiance" Drake is sometimes seen gracing the streets of Port Rigo, despite still being wanted by the Albish.
