Arcturis

Arcturis is a pirate and profiteer on the Viridian Ocean. He is the captain of the Rum Running Dragons, and king of the flag Demons and Damsels.

History
Arcturis first came to the Viridian Ocean as a humble pirate in early 2006. He joined up with the now-disbanded Red Waters of Evil under the command of Piracy. He would work his way up through the ranks, becoming a Senior Officer.

Politics in the senior ranks would cause some instability both in the crew and in the flag. This would lead those in the senior ranks to merge with the crew Tegasus Flyers under the command of Hellrat, and flying under the flag Rowboat Renegades.

Eventually Tegasus Flyers would disband, and it occurred during an extended period of time when Arcturis was offline. When he returned to the ocean, he found himself without the crew that he needed in order to sail his three ships. Rather than shop around for a new crew, he formed his own: Antalon.

Antalon
Antalon was founded October 18, 2006, strictly for solo pillages and commodity runs. It was just a one-man crew, Arcturis, and his three ships.

On December 3, 2007, Arcturis was out on a commodity run when he found himself cornered off the coast of Lima Island by a young officer named Aapatti of the crew the  Rum Running Dragons. After he identified himself as a friend of the crew, Aapatti agreed to stand down and allow Arcturis to disengage.

A comment in passing to Aapatti, "Tell Froggi that Arcturis says 'Hi'", led to a meeting and reunion with fellow Viridian Captain and friend Frogpirate. Arcturis was welcomed to the ranks of the Rum Running Dragons by approving the merger of the Antalon crew.

The Rum Running Dragons
He was asked by Frogpirate to take over the crew and assumed command on Christmas Day, 2007. Some changes were made right away. The crew was changed from oligarchic politics to autocratic, and more detailed rules were implemented. There was no apparent objection to the new command.

Shortly after assuming command, Frogpirate left the crew to join up with Dark Demons, a sister crew in the flag. With a vacancy in the Senior Officer ranks to be filled, Arcturis commissioned Leasey a Senior Officer and First Officer of the crew, citing her experience and levelheadedness as good qualifications.

A couple months later, Arcturis was voted King of Demons and Damsels. The decision to name him King was relatively unopposed. He was the most active officer in the flag at the time of the vote, and seemed to have the best mind for the job. After being confirmed as King, his first action was to abolish the "2 royals per crew" rule in place by elevating Leasey to royal status.
