Ebony Sharkfins

This gang is a pirate crew captained by Rufa. This pirate gang is one of the last remaining pirate lords of the sea and she often takes the guild to raid other pirate territories rather than ports, while they still do raid ports and kill innocents the group has done that a lot less since Rufa took control of the group. This group also contains one of the only known groups of weresharks to roam the world in the open.

Structure

The ebony sharkfins are a group of pirates that function like a bandit group where all power is kept in the hands of the leader, there are a few other officers and one first mate that can take control if the captain is unavailable or unable to give commands.

Culture

The Ebony Sharkfins are a close knit group of pirates that do not really care for anyone else but they value family above all, not blood relations but those within the group are all considered family, captain Rufa wanted every wereshark that they came across to have a home and a place to learn from others of their kind so they do not feel like they are alone.

Public Agenda

The public does not know much about this group simply because they do not really do much in the public eye beyond the occasional ship or port raid, which gives them more notoriety with guards and other people who believe they are just bandits, which the crew and captain are okay with.

Assets

The crew of this ship own the ship they are sailing on and even have a second one because of the amount of weresharks they have. The entire crew and gang consist of over one hundred weresharks across two ships that are outfitted with cannons and everything else a ship needs for pirates. With the mansion they own they are able to have a place to hide and store their stolen things, the tunnels under this mansion were once built to smuggle things into the cities but now many forgot about these tunnels that spill out into the bay just outside the walls of the city allowing the pirates to not only hide stolen things within the walls of the city but also can enter and leave without others being able to see them of follow them.

History

The gang itself did not exist before Rufa, she brought the few weresharks that she knew about or found on her travels or acedentaly made along on her smaller boat at the time, they all enjoyed the open water and she taught them all she knew about being a wereshark and a pirate both. Before long there were other pirates that saw what they could do that wanted to join up and recieve the gift of lycanthropy. Before long she was the captain of the biggest pirate gang on the seas and the most deadly in the water by far than any other gang of pirates before them.

Territories

The gulf of Lions is the main area where this gang controls, it is near their main base and easy to branch out into the open ocean, while they mainly stay within the gulf they have been spotted raiding in the Great Eastern Sea to the east and the Emerald Sea to the west but they never travel to far north as they are used to the southern climate and are not fond of the creatures up north as some of them have the ability to come out into the water and attack their ship.

Trade & Transport

The pirate gang does not do much actual trading beyond the occasional captive they sell to slavers or the occasional visit to a fence to sell the stolen goods off boats that they raid. When they take things from ports and other ships normally they cannot sell it anywhere near the port they robbed because word has gotten around from their raid and most tradable goods have a merchants stamp on the crate. However, the captain has been known to sometimes take shipments of items from port to port if the journey is not that dangerous or the cargo isn't that valuable but normally its wine or food of some kind so that nobody is tempted to steal it from the merchants and nobody would try to sink their ship for it.
