Brigg Bannock

'I told me self, Brigg, you get off this island, you go find that gold, go kiss your wife, and go kill that bastad who ronged me'
Captain Brigg Bannock was a Lakayan pirate captain, born in 1441. He married a woman in Port Regulus named Érmione, and served in the Lusken Navy from 1459-1463, joining at the age of 18. In 1465 or so, he set off on his voyages as captain of the Barnercle Goose, a famously misspelt pirate ship. They robbed many Lusken Navy gold vessels. He buried this gold in 1514 or so in a new location. However, a mutiny occurred in 1515 (when Brigg was 74 and still kicking!) and he was dumped on a tiny island called Turtle Bay, about halfway between Waterdeep and Feŋ. 
He eventually died on Turtle Bay, but the Night Watch found his diary on the isle, along with his skeleton (and eventually his gold later in 1561). They also took Bannock's Gold Jack, a wheellock with the one pistol shot he initially intended to save for the lead mutineer, and used it to kill Adrienne Ophiuchus.
They dug up his gold, which was buried 20-something paces west of Galaden's grave marker. They used it to finance an expedition to save Waterdeep. In his honour, they named their ship the LN Bannock's Revenge. The ship was later stolen by Anderson Rookes.
