Gordon Marcum

Gordon Marcum is the grandson of the famed Porter Marcum, the man who started the Boneyard. Porter always said, "live fast and die young," which were words Gordon's father lived and died by.

So, from the age of six, Gordon was raised by his grandfather. Porter taught Gordon the basics in life: sailing, gambling, fighting, and of course pirating. Womanizing just came naturally with the lifestyle. Whores at every port claim a child by Gordon, but only half the claims are true. Gordon's days on the open seas came to an end upon Porter's death. When the old man died, the Boneyard became an uproar with every pirate worth his salt fashioning himself as King of the Boneyard. Gordon reaffirmed his grandfather's intentions. The Boneayard was no man's land. All disputes are left to the open waters and not to be dealt with in the city. In fact, "Wait till [insert pronoun] hit the water," is a common phrase heard in the taverns at the Boneyard.

Still, most disputes are small. Crew between crew at most. Angry shouts, a little cannon fire, insults slung from decks. Then they're all at the tavern that same evening, swapping stories over a meal and a tankard. Even the worst of rivals manage to ban together when the Boneyard comes under attack, thanks to the respect given to Gordon Marcum.

Now in his late fifties, with a noticeable limp, an eye patch that's not just for looks, and his right arm hanging useless at his side, many of the residents of the Boneyard worry about how much longer Gordon will live. Though his seed was spread far and wide, will any of his children be able to fill his boots and live up to the Marcum name? Or will the Boneyard need a new leader?
