CAPTAIN SABERTOOTH
Since the dawn of time, mankind has braved waves to transport gold and spices to the world´s greatest ports. Valiant sailors have risked their lives in a war with the elements, in the hope that their foolhardiness will somehow pay off. Still theres is one thing they fear more than tidal waves and icy gales...

More than anything they fear the wrath of the most terrible pirate that ever sailed the seven seas: Captain Sabertooth!

Rumour has it that Captain Sabertooth´s proud vessel, The Dark Lady, has sailed the seas for centuries, spreading terror in its wake. Captain Sabertooth and his minions appear when you least expect it, with their pistols popping and their blades slinging from side to side.

The man they call The King of Pirates has hidden fantastic riches in his vast castle. Some say that he can actually smell gold and diamonds.

All pirates dream that they will one day be among Captain Sabertooth´s men. But only the very best will be allowed passage aboard The Dark Lady, his dreadful ship. Only the most fearless will be allowed to serve Captain Sabertooth.

Longfinger is Captain Sabertooth¹s right hand and has sailed with him for many years. He is known to seafarers as ²The Shadow of Captain Sabertooth² and is the only member of the crew allowed access to the Captain¹s castle hideout. He is a brilliant navigator, a skilled swordsman, and a good storyteller. He is a handsome looking man, but unpredictable, capable of changing from a gracious gentleman into the most cold-blooded, ruthless pirate in an instant.

TINY
During a terrible storm on The Grass Sea, the crew of The Dark Lady rescued a baby boy from the sea. The boy grew up among the pirates and was given the name Tiny, ³the world´s youngest pirate². He had to learn quickly how to be tough and fearless. Though most of the men are nice to him, he still knows what it is like to be the youngest and weakest member of the crew. He constantly tries to prove to Captain Sabertooth that he is ready to become a fully-fledged pirate. Behind his hard pirate exterior, however, is a soft and uncertain boy. He nourishes secret dreams of a different life in a far-away-land - perhaps with a girlfriends

VERONICA
Veronica was raised by her Aunt Bessie, the innkeeper in Luna Bay. She is sweet, conscientious and... bored! For the most part her life has been very quiet and secure. She spends most of her time swimming in the sea, helping out at Aunt Bessie¹s inn and listening to Rudy the fisherman¹s stories. Her only real friend is a pet shark (!), Ravenous, but she is definitely longing for someone her own age to play with. None of the boys in the village have been able to catch her interest, though. She is a little mature for her age, as well as naive, yet also enterprising and bold. Her impulsive nature sometimes lands her in some potentially dangerous situations, though it does not really matter since nothing ever happens in peaceful Luna Bay.

HAPPY JACK
Happy Jack is wearing a mask. Behind his smiling face he hides a cunning and evil personality. Pretending to be a crippled gourmet cook, he finds work on The Dark Lady along with his two helpers Turdle and Bink. His secret goal is to get rid of ³the great Captain² and become the new ³King of the Seven Seas.² He is just waiting for the right moment...

RED RUDY
Rudy is full of stories about life at sea, some more believable than others. As far as he is concerned, Luna Bay is the most beautiful place on earth. Ever since he first laid eyes on it, as he sailed in on his ship, the Gorine, he knew this was where he could live and die a happy man. Rudy spends most of his time fishing or wooing and singing for Aunt Bessie. He is an honest man, an idealist and a romantic who enjoys a laugh and wants Luna Bay to remain an idyllic paradise. There is more to Rudy than meets the eye, and he can sometimes reveal some unusual qualities. Concealed behind his good-natured exterior is a strong and bold adventurer.

Rudy¹s greatest weakness lies in his longing to become a rich man. Just thinking about this most precious of metals is enough to give him a severe case of gold fever.

AUNT BESSIE
Aunt Bessie runs the inn in Luna Bay. She is a very buxom, motherly woman in her prime who thinks that Rudy is the most handsome man she has ever laid eyes on. However, she has little patience for his stories about Captain Sabertooth, which she dismisses as a bunch of old legends and fantasy. Whenever there is talk of treasure chests and gold, Aunt Bessie is the one who puts her foot down and brings everyone back to earth.

WALLY & WIMP
Wally and Wimp are the fattest members of Captain Sabertooth¹s crew. They are identical twins and virtually indistinguishable. Unfortunately for Wally, this often means that he has to take the blame for Wimp¹s clumsy mistakes. Wally is one minute older than Wimp, which is why he always thinks he knows best. Actually it is the other way around, although it really makes little difference as they are both a bit on the slow side. Both admire Captain Sabertooth more than anyone else in the world - except their mother, of course. Though Wally is proud to be a member of Captain Sabertooth¹s crew, he would happily return to his mother¹s loving care and lead a life of luxury and ease but first he has to gather enough gold. Wally is jealous of his little brother, complaining that he has always been ²mommy¹s little golden boy². Consequently, Wally is always snapping at Wimp. As for Wimp, he enjoys life on the sea and aboard The Dark Lady, even though he often feels homesick.
