Pirate King

The Pirate King is the leader of the League of Dread Pirates and Privateers. 
While the current Pirate King is known to the party only by his title, "Pirate King" is an office given to the most powerful Dread Pirate in the League. He has effective control of the pirate-run Port Townsend, as well as his own spy force called the Blackspot Operatives. He also has the power to summon the pirates into conclave, a meeting of all pirates generally reserved for terrible threats against the pirates such as an aboleth god or the kracken. If a large majority of the pirates agree, they can also call a conclave to appoint a new Pirate King if the current one's leadership is called into question. 
The organization of pirates which the Pirate King runs is one of the more powerful groups known to the party. They appeared to generally laugh at the early stages of the Revolution of 1441, and are known for their ability to demand enormous ransoms for captured victims.

The Company met the Pirate King in Port Townsend while passing through the area in summer of 1442. He summoned them to an audience to congratulate Ulfgar for his defeat of Philip The Drunken Master in a bar fight. Tobo played for him while most of the rest of the party reenacted the Battle of Malvont in humorous skit form for the Pirate King's amusement. He rewarded Ulfgar with a fast halfling racing boat, which the party used to win the nearby boat race. 
In the spring of 1443, the party heard from Lando Jackson that the pirates were in conclave; given the timing, it was probably an emergency conclave. This came soon after the Battle of Baldur in which Grax's forces fled Baldur City. Given the party's suspicion that these forces are actually in Hate's Torch, they suspect that this and the conclave were related. When asked for his assistance after leaving the conclave, Dread Pirate Lucy told Ethan of Malvont by Sending that he was on a special mission for the Pirate King and had a great story to tell him later; the party has yet to hear it.
