Captain Juan is the ageing and somewhat
haggard chief of a tiny attachment of Spanish privateers. Born on the Spanish Mainland, and
after being sent at a young age to the Caribbean while in service to the Spanish Govt, Juan Sebastian has survived against all the odds. Years in service, followed by desertion (so many did back then), then more years in hiding and then as a smuggler, finally, a chance to actually prosper. Joining a pirate ship may have been reckless, even suicidal maybe, but for Juan Sebastian it was an escape, and a way out.
