Fall Countdown Day 5: the Pirate Captain

He looks younger than I thought, but that must be the result of the elixir of blood and gold, I guess. For some reason, I think I imagined him with a full beard, but the tricorn hat is definitely accurate to my mind.

Also, there’s that border motif like in the illustrations in Rise, flowers (cherry blossoms?) versus thorns. Though, in this case, it’s dead leaves (I think?) and gold roses. I wonder if there will be another Midas connection, or if the Pirate Captain and Midas knew each other at some point.

Also, this picture is considerably well-lit. Could it be symbolic? Did we ever get confirmation that the Pirate Captain is actually a Never, or is that just an assumption? And, did he ever show signs of being an honest or decent person? I think he's at least fair in upholding his side of promises, like when he dealt with Rhian and Rafal, but I'm not too sure.
