Captain Viol

Navy Captain (1684 - 1721)
Captain Viol was born into an impoverished family around 1663, and was raised to be a fisherman. During a storm, he took control of the fishing boat he had been working on, and saved the ship and crew from certain death. He was rewarded by the captain of the ship by being made first mate. During a short shoot out with pirates, the captain would be killed, and Viol took command.

Captain Viol's ship, "The Crow", was badly damaged, however Lord Floda hired Captain Viol to escort ships to and from Saorsa, the nations newest colony. Captain Viol accepted, but asked that a new ship be built for him and his crew. Lord Floda accepted, and "The Quest" was built to fill this need. Captain Viol served as captain of "The Quest" until 1721 when during a storm he was washed off the deck by a massive wave during a storm. He was presumed dead a few days later.
