Physical Description
“Jonah Rogier Jacques”

Jonah is a tall and imposing black scaled monitor lizard with an athletic build that was sculpted with over a decade of military training, manual labor and sailing. His eyes are a striking bright blue seeming to only make his face seem even more expressive. His black scaled body is fit and well built but has various minor scars across his body from years of being at sea. But his most defining feature by far is the massive facial burn scars on the left side of his face and neck, all attempts to ask about the scar leads to a dramatic tale that seems to always be just different enough to notice.
His outfit is typically comfortable loose fitting clothes perfect for dock work and climbing the rigging of ships. He likes to favor more bright colors, claiming that bright colors make it easier to spot someone overboard. He is seen almost always wearing a bright blue beret with a feather pinned on the side. And just like his beret, he always has his matchlock and saber strapped to his belt.
“Captain Firebrand”

Captain Firebrand is Jonah’s alter ego. A Republican Revolutionary branded as a Pirate known for his raids against merchant vessels carrying valuable cargo for the Imperium. His face is completely obscured by a bright red cloth mask with a white claw mark on the right side. He is often donned in white with a steel cuirass under a navy blue coat with red trim and a vibrant red cape. He is known to carry a pipe that burns a tobacco mixture that gives a dark smoke giving him the moniker “The Southern Dragon”
Inventory and Real Estate
-A small 2 story dockside building bordering the trenches and Slurps. The first floor is his personal shop "Bluepearl Fishery" and the second floor is his home. The shop is often closed due to his "fishing trips" but always is fully stocked when he returns
-A brown and white Brixham Trawler fishing boat "Lady Misfit"
-A old naval saber
-matchlock pistol
-"The Bellona" Formerly a merchant vessel from Westisle, her original crew was "persuaded" by Firebrand and fellow republicans while moored offshore and became the first successful raid performed by the revolutionaries. Now being retrofitted to a 40 gun frigate, The Bellona now proudly sails with the revolutionary fleet. The ship typically is always hidden away until it is time for Captain Firebrand to make another appearance.
Personality
“Jonah”
Rather easygoing and a jolly hard worker, he is the type of beast who is willing to give someone the clothes off his own back if it helps them get through a cold night. Yet despite this he is also the kind of beast who is always ready for a scrap, especially if there is a chance for him to “accidentally” knock a Fogey or any beast in imperial uniform into the harbor and get away with it. He also is known for being that one beast who after returning from his various “fishing trips” would spin many a tall tale to the children or any locals who were willing to buy him a drink or tobacco for his pipe.
“Captain Firebrand”
Nearly a polar opposite, Captain Firebrand is a fiery and passionate republican revolutionary who hates the imperialists as much as one would hate the stench of The Slurps. He stands by the ideals of a democracy and power going back to the people where it belongs. Commonly relying on fear tactics to avoid combat when possible but known for the brutal and unforgiving nature that some may consider cruel if a fight is unavoidable. Yet he will never harm a noncombatant or a surrendering beast. Outside of his raids he is a leader who delivers emotional speeches about liberty and the god given rights every beast deserves. He is very cautious about his identity and the only beasts who knows the identity of Captain Firebrand are his closest confidants, the crew of the “Bellona” one of the 3 frigates within the small fleet that wave the flag of Anti-Imperialist League, also known as “The Bluecoats.”

History
Jonah was born in the 1730s and remembers the turmoil the imperium had as a child. His father Vinnciano Jaques was an honorable naval captain that allied himself with the Republican forces during the revolutions of 1748. Jonah, like his father, had also joined the republican forces and served as an Ensign aboard a ship known as the Trident. During one of the final battles of the war in a final stand his father would be killed in battle and the sinking of the Trident. It was here during the burning wreckage of the Trident that Jonah had gotten his horrible burns leaving his facial scars. It was not the defeat in the war that truely pushed Jonah over the edge, but it was the self-crowning of the Empress as he viewed her as nothing more than a dishonorable opportunistic vixen. Since then it took time but eventually he would find remnants of the republicans who also shared that same passion for liberty. Now on the shores of Bully Harbor he was simply Jonah, the kind local fisherman who had a knack for being a minor nuisance to the Fogey quick to spin a story. But at sea aboard the Bellona he was Captain Firebrand, The Southern Dragon who plans to stoke the flames of revolution in the name of Liberty.
