Prison Guard

Born the son of a dock worker in Portsmouth, Prison Guard learned early that the world respected only strength and unwavering adherence to rules—lessons hammered into him when his father was hanged for smuggling contraband rum alongside cutthroat seafarers. Determined to erase the shame of his family name, he enlisted in the Royal Navy at sixteen and quickly distinguished himself through brutal efficiency and an almost religious devotion to military protocol, earning rapid promotion to the prison service where he could directly combat the maritime criminals who had destroyed his childhood. Every scar on his knuckles and every gray hair beneath his shaved head represents a failed escape attempt he personally thwarted, each one reinforcing his conviction that mercy is a luxury the Crown cannot afford when dealing with the treacherous vermin who prey upon honest merchants and naval vessels. The keyring at his belt has grown heavier with each passing year, its weight a tangible reminder of his responsibility to keep dangerous men caged, and he wears the red coat like a shield against the corruption he sees lurking in every prisoner's eyes. Prison Guard has never questioned an order, never doubted the righteousness of his duty, and has cultivated a reputation so fearsome that mere whispers of his approach are enough to quell riots before they begin. In the oppressive darkness of the prison dungeons, he is less a man than an instrument of order itself—unyielding, incorruptible, and utterly certain that any pirate or criminal who crosses his threshold deserves nothing but the cold justice of his musket and the iron law of the Crown.
