\"Captain

Captain Jhanos<\/p><\/div>\n

Perhaps the worst of all the pirates. As cold blooded as Flint as sadistic as Lowe and more frightening then Blackbeard. Jhanos is widely regarded as the smartest most cunning, experienced and evil of all the pirate captains. <\/big><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Jhanos has been operating in the Caribbean, with side trips to Madagascar and beyond, longer then any other pirate alive. Rumors and tales of his career, and death, date back to Henry Morgan and the Buccaneers of the Brethren Coast. Legend says that he sailed with Largo\u00a0 in 69, as Largo’s first mate, Jhanos participated in Morgan’s raid on the Maracaibo lagoon. He was present at the sack of Maracaibo and the brutal rape of Gibraltar. During the battle to get clear of the lagoon, Jhanos captained the fire ship that sailed against the Spanish galleon, ‘Magdelena’ and such was his prowess that Morgan and the other Captains voted to give him his own ship from the pick of the next lot captured.<\/big><\/p>\n

In 1670, Captain Jharnos and his sloop \u201cNeedle\u201d sailed with Morgan on the star crossed Panama raid. Like many of the thirty five captains who sailed with Morgan, Jharnos was infuriated by the poor take, despite the gruelling ordeal and pitched battles. When Morgan deserted the other Captains, leaving them to explain the measly take to their crews, Jharnos felt betrayed and forever after cursed Morgan’s name.<\/big><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Jhanos is rumored to have spent years living with the Boccurs of Jamaica and Hispaniola, sometimes disappearing into the jungles for a decade or more. In 73 he abandoned the Needle to his crew and waded ashore on Hispaniola to vanish again into the mountains in his dark quest for knowledge. Rumor has it that he has learned more of the Art of Vodoun then any other European ever.<\/big><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

He resurfaced in 84, and fought a storied duel with seven French buccaneers in the streets of Tortuga. Legend says he killed five before the sixth grappled him to the ground and the seventh cut off his head. Then, in 86, or so the story goes, in Port Royal, Jhanos stalked into the tavern where the two surviving buccaneers were drinking. The frightened men gibbered in horror as the ‘Dead’ Captain Jhanos, with a bright red scar around his neck, drew his sword and slashed each through the heart.
\n<\/big><\/p>\n

Sceptics doubt that the Captain Jhanos of today and the one from the tales are the same person. They speculate that another man, another pirate, has assumed the old Jhanos’ identity for the dread and prestige that go with the name. Were he the original Captain Jhanos he would be at least seventy years old, whereas the current Jhanos can’t be more then forty.\u00a0 These same sceptics laugh at the tales of Zombies and Duppies as well.<\/big><\/p>\n

Jhanos’ current ship is the ‘Razza Moon’ a powerfully armed galleon mounting fifty guns.\u00a0 He has commanded the Razza Moon since 99 when he took her from the Spanish off Honduras.\u00a0 Remarkably fast for a ship its size, the Razza Moon is probably the most powerful pirate ship operating in the Caribbean.<\/big><\/p>\n
