Cassius 'Breaker' Drake

Rugged, charismatic, brash, reckless, cunning, swaggering, cursed, fearless, hotheaded, bold, silver-tongued, unapologetic, hard-drinking, sharp-witted, restless, unyielding, glory-seeking, storm-weathered, serpent-hearted, unbreakable (or so he believes). Bold, brash, and boisterous—Cassius is the kind of pirate that fits every pirate stereotype to the letter. He enjoys the spoils of life: ale, women, and treasure. He is a man who makes quick decisions, often without considering the consequences, and is proud of it. His bravado is legendary, his voice loud enough to shake the timbers of The Iron Serpent, and his laugh infectious. But beneath the wild exterior, Cassius is driven by an obsession—an obsession to prove that no curse, no matter how deadly, can bring him down. He’s a natural leader, charismatic, but with a sharp tongue that often gets him into trouble. His words are as cutting as his sword, and he's never afraid to voice his opinion, even if it’s at the expense of those around him. It was his quick tongue that led to his curse at the hands of a furious sea witch, who placed the dread affliction on him after a particularly heated argument. Now, his own body betrays him, corroding from within, his once-strong frame becoming more brittle with each passing day. But Cassius refuses to let it slow him down. He believes if anyone can survive the curse, it's him. After all, he's survived worse. Cassius, the Captain of The Iron Serpent, is living on borrowed time, driven by his insatiable need for adventure, glory, and loot. He’s a pirate like no other, reckless and full of life despite the creeping death inside him. His story is far from over, but whether he can outrun the curse—or if the curse will finally catch up to him—is the greatest adventure of all.
