Description
Olive skin, brown eyes and an unruly shock of black hair. Although youthful in appearance, his eyes betray some part of the anger within his soul.
Background
Juan Carlos is Portuguese, and proud of it. His background was privileged and he was apprenticed to the famous Portuguese merchant, Luiz Valdes de Lobo.
He was sent to sea as a young man on one of de Lobo's ships where he was treated with great respect and affection by the crew. On one fateful voyage, a Spanish privateer attacked the ship and murdered most of the ship's company for its cargo of textiles. Carlos was clever enough to hide his true position on the crew and was spared by the Spaniards because of his age. He was put to menial work on the ship and bided his time. His chance for escape came when the Spaniard vessel was itself attacked by a pirate ship. The young Carlos joined the fight on the side of the pirates, and when brought before the pirate captain, declared his true identity and his skill as a navigator. The pirate captain could hardly believe his luck and so began a life as a buccaneer. Although considered too valuable to risk in combat often, Juan has managed to acquire some skill with the rapier and nurtures a hatred of the Spanish.
