“Welcome to the Pirate101 Rogue’s Gallery. Subject, Gaspard De Vole
Since the days when Valencia was still little more than an outpost of the Great Aquilan Empire, the De Vole family have been skyfarers. Sometimes sailors and sometimes pirates, there have been as many Admirals named De Vole as there have Pirate Kings.
Gaspard was born to Vincenzo and Bianca, two exemplary sailors, and learned how to tack sail before he could walk. After a few brief outings with some of the many crews that sailed Calabria Skyway, Gaspard enlisted in the Valencian Navy. Within a year his skill and ability had put him on the path to become an officer. It seemed Gaspard had a bright future ahead of him – until Napoleguin came to power.
At the Battle of Taliferro, Napoleguin’s navies utterly smashed the Valencian forces despite their superior numbers and firepower. This was, ultimately, the battle that gave rise to the Armada: after the crushing defeat the Guinea Pig and Unicorn corps of officers found themselves drummed out of service in favor of Kane’s automatons.
Having failed at military service, Gaspard drifted into his family's other penchant: Piracy. He signed on with the Monquistan Pirate Alonzo and quickly rose to the position of second mate. After Alonzo retired from piracy following the loss of the Golden Frond, Gaspard signed on with another crew led by a happy couple seeking their fortunes.
Gaspard led a happy life after; he was making more than enough loot to send back home to support his family when, yet again, his happiness was destroyed by the Armada. The pirate couple’s ship was utterly destroyed, and Gaspard’s happiness along with it.
Gaspard retreated back to Skull Island, hiring out with various crews here and there but his heart was no longer in it. When he was captured during an attack on a Monquistan Treasure Galleon and imprisoned in the Presidio as a suspected spy, he was sure that his life had come to an end... until new hope came to him in a rescue by someone he barely suspected was still alive.
