For many years, Captain Garious Ironguts was the pirate captain of the Pig’s Whistle, which would eventually become the Grand Shanty after his death. He is now a ghost, cursed to serve whoever possesses the enchanted feather he stole long ago. Garious is one of the few ghosts with a strong enough personality to understand his fate. He has grown very fond of Commander Faulistus, spending his ghostly hours with her every dusk and dawn, sitting on a bench atop the quarter deck (A2). He is protective of Artimesia and will do everything in his power to protect her. Limited Abilities. As with all the other ghosts bound to the enchanted feather, Garious’ powers are extremely limited and must obey its owner’s commands. However, once a day, the owner can request Captain Ironguts to manifest more strongly. If he agrees, for 10 minutes, he can gain the powers of a wraith. (See stats for Captain Irongut’s enchanted feather.) Appearance. When Captain Ironguts appears, he presents an imposing ghostly figure of six feet, with a handsome face and wearing a captain’s uniform. His ghostly form never wears a hat as a symbol of his lost captaincy since Bloody Gracie’s mutiny.
