Staff

Staff is a term referring to certain members of a pirate crew or organization. They provide a bridge in communication between those in charge, such as the Captain or First Mate, and everyone else. A member of the staff is known as a Staff Officer and also a Chief of Staff.
==Role and Duties==
A Staff Officer provides bi-directional flow of information between a commanding officer and subordinate military units, and serves the executive function to filter information needed by the commander or shunts unnecessary information. In terms of piracy, the staff officer is the next in line to take over as captain after the first mate.
A Chief of Staff is a coordinator of supporting staff or personal assistant to the leader of an organization. In essence, they serve as the second-in-command, acting as a buffer between the leader and the members of the organization.
