Filmore Hatcher

Filmore Hatcher, more widely known as Captain Hatchet, was a bandit captain in the 9th century of the Age of the Virgin Lands.
When he was fourteen years old (833 AoVL), he was caught stealing sweets by a cruel man-at-arms of the Order of Iludin. The man tried to chop off his hand for thievery, appalling even the shop owner. Filmore slipped away, but not quite fast enough. The man's handaxe severed Filmore's ring and pinky fingers from his right hand. He fled Kork and took to the eastern Sea of Syrennius, joining a pirate crew. As he grew as a sailor, fighter, and thief, his captain paid to replace his fingers with magical mithril ones that would open and close as real digits. With this stone-crushing grip, he wielded a large saber taken from a slain ugidan pirate off the Shard Coast.
After word reached him of the retreat of the Iludin from his homeland, he yearned to return home. He left the sea behind and traveled inland. Unfortunately, he found little work for his skill set. For a time, he hired himself out as a caravan guard on the trade roads, and eventually met others who shared his love of wealth and thrill of danger. He, along with Delana Harrington and Evan Latimer, formed a small bandit gang and set up in the woods southwest of Hurstvik, harassing the same caravans he used to protect. Though he stole all he could, he never took a life, nor allowed any of his underlings to.
Hatcher considered himself a trader: of goods, services, and information. He loved unique jewelry, no matter its actual value, and took great pleasure in bantering while bartering.
