Captain Raknishi was originally the leader of the Crimson Tide. Several of the pirate captains of the Fleet of the Black Hearts conspired to assassinate him by ambushing him after a night of particularly hard drinking. His memory was wiped by a hired wizard to prevent vengeance for his immediate assassination. He was sent back to Hell after he died. He spent 20 years regenerating and then returned to the plane of Valynduur, where he bought the Wavecrusher and formed a new crew. While he retains no knowledge of his murder and leading the Crimson Tide for over a hundred years, he remembered his thirst for piracy and the open seas.
His goal is to create a new fleet and rejoin the Black Hearts at any cost, even if it means betraying his crew.
