Captain James Moore

Personality
The best word to describe Captain Red is "chaotic". He is charismatic and fun loving, but his mood can swing from happy to paranoid faster than anyone can predict. He has been known to interrupt a simple dinner to kill someone he felt disrespected him. He is not above killing someone on the suspicion they have done something. Red is a firm believer that if his crew has any room to bend his will, they will try and see if he can break. James enjoys social interaction, but rarely trusts. He was raised well, and knows how to act in a respectable manner, but he refuses to be civil in mockery of the people he turned away from. Many know his real name, but he rarely allows people to call him by it, finding it a sign of disrespect from those who don't know him well. He is volatile, and while some may find his chaotic behavior intriguing or attractive, anyone who intends to be around him long must learn to respect it.

Appearance
A tall stocky man, James towers over most of his crew. His rugged features and many scars show a worn-out man, aging faster than he can stop. However, the common sight of his smile, and the laughter he enjoys with his crew show a man still young, despite what his body thinks. There is a certain joy in his eyes when he is with his crew laughing his way through both combat and recreation. Made angry though, James has a face that could turn away even the bravest knights. A malicious look of pure hatred few have seen and lived long enough to remember.

Background
The infamous Captain Red was once an esteemed naval officer. Commodore James Moore, commander of the RSV Marquis, a Hierman Ja war galley. After being passed for promotion for the fourth time in a row he believed that the admiralty board's worries of his "unhinged behavior" were completely uncalled for, and unfairly halting the progress of his otherwise illustrious career. Growing tired of the admiralty's politics, he took matters into his own hands turning one third of his crew onto the other two thirds, seizing his own ship. In jest, he called himself Captain Red in contrast to the Republic Navy's blue uniform, and rechristened his ship "The Argos" a name synonymous with loyalty.
