Cpt. Jack Galloway

Intro Jack was once a daring privateer, feared by the Spanish Armada and adored by nobles who paid him to escort their ships safely. But his charms got him in trouble when he fell for the wrong person — the daughter of a powerful Caribbean governor, already promised to a rival captain. When the truth came out, Jack was betrayed during a parley. Instead of hanging him, the governor’s court sought something worse: a witch in their custody performed a ritual that stripped Jack’s skin from his body but left him alive. His flesh turned to sand, blown into the sea, yet his heart still beats beneath his exposed ribcage, and his voice still flows like velvet over rum. Personality: Still impossibly smooth-tongued and unshakably confident. Romantic to his core — he writes love letters he never sends, and serenades the ocean at night. Keeps an odd sense of humor about his condition, but grows cold toward those who mock him. Loyal to his crew beyond reason — he believes they are the only ones who can see past his curse.
