Sir Oliver Tressilian

Sir Oliver Tressilian, a Cornish sea-faring gentleman, was betrayed by his jealous half-brother.

He was then forced to serve as a slave on a Spanish Galley, but was soon liberated by Barbary pirates.

After deciding to join the pirates, they give him the name "Sakr-el-Bahr" which means the hawk of the sea.

Sakr-el-Bahr swears vengeance against his brother for his evil wrongdoings.
