*The crew listed above applies only to Erendei's Wrath, the Overview applies to the entire crew*

*Erendei's Wrath* is the main and most powerful ship of The Scoundrels. With over 100 cannons, the infamous first rate galleon donned it's signature crimson hue, presumably when it's previous captain, Aestus, was in his reckless years before adopting Tendon off the streets, though he always told his son that the sails got their colours by painting them with their enemies blood. This indicated that the majority of their victims were Humarian.

## Crew of *Erendei's Wrath*

### Captain

The "admiral" (though he prefers captain) of the Scoundrel Fleet is Tendon Ossis, who was voted captain after Aestus passed away. Tendon is in charge of the entire fleet and every decision is approved or denied by him. Unlike the other pirates of Falavaze, Tendon's word is final and his vote determines the outcome, making the Scoundrels a dictatorship and not a democracy. Tendon, although rumoured to be ruthless, is actually a goofy and child-like leader who can always make his crew smile.

### Quartermaster/First-Mate

The major first mate of the main ship is Meijin Nauta, the first-mate of Aestus's rule too. Meijin is one of the most serious crew members, though he shows that he cares when he's alone. Meijin acts like Tendon's advisor, though he butts heads with him and the other first-mate.

The second first mate is Tenebris Vide. Tenebris is Tendon's loyal childhood best friend who doubles as his other first-mate and master gunner/master-at-arms. Not only that, but Tenebris also is Tendon's personal guard and secret assassin. Tenebris, unlike Meijin, is more open with his emotions, though not too much. He acts as Tendon's primary supporter and as the one who encourages him to move on from the past. Tenebris put up with Tendon's crazy antics to the point where he doesn't care and just goes along with them now.

### Navigator

In charge of the sailing and where the ship would be heading was Ambon Advaze. Ambon was the balance between Aestus and Meijin before Tendon's arrival to the crew and continues to be both crazy and rational depending on the intention of the captain. Ambon assists Tendon in any way he can and is often looking over sea charts, calculating headings or up in the crow's nest searching for any suspicious activities or land.

### Boatswain

The boatswain of *Erendei's Wrath* is Amnis Vide. Amnis is the youngest sibling of Tenebris and is rational only when he needs to be. He and Tendon often create chaos together, often being a dynamic duo in waking the crew up in the middle of the night with whatever fun they're having. As a junior officer, Amnis is typically youthful and because of his child-like behaviour, is almost a younger version of Tendon. He assists Ambon with naval positions and lowers the anchor, and he's well-respected due to his power to somewhat manipulate the waves.

### Master Gunner

As the master gunner, Tenebris is the most skilled in the art of combat on all sides, particularly with firearms and his four shadow swords (Gladius Umbras). Tenebris is loyal to Tendon to a fault and would lay down his life for his Captain. Unlike Lux, Tenebris accepted Tendon as a pirate and happily joined his crew at twelve before Tendon became the captain of The Scoundrels. Because of their closeness, Tendon considers Tenebris as his brother and as one of the most reliable crew members in the ranks. Should anything have happened to Tendon, it would've been Tenebris who took over as captain without the need for a vote. Tenebris is in charge of making sure all weaponry is functional and for leading attacks against other rival ships as well as testing the weapons and their firing rate.

### Carpenter

Thyne Zaniere, being the carpenter of *Erendei's Wrath*, is always on his toes. Having Tendon as a captain typically meant wild and reckless voyages that would certainly damage the hull or any other part of it. Thyne is one of Aestus's original crew members and remained with Tendon to watch over him to make sure he didn't do anything too life-threatening. Thyne is arguably one of the fastest crew members on board due to his years of running around and repairing leaks that penetrated the vessel and could match Tendon and Tenebris, even Meijin's top speed. However, Thyne isn't the best swimmer, which makes him fearful of sinking. This adrenaline was speculated by Putare to influence his top speeds.

### Sea Artist

Working closely with Ambon was Mirra Dulcis. Mirra, being the wife of Chef Arjien, is also a very hard-working woman. Mirra is the sea artist, which is the other half of *Erendei's Wrath*'s navigational segment. While Ambon saw the headings, gave directions, and set courses for voyages up in the crow's nest, it was Mirra who drew the maps and who operated with Tendon to report back and forth between Ambon and the captain to compromise on a set course. Mirra was also tasked with the duty of keeping Arjien calm and collected whenever he combusted into flames and threaten to injure other crew members with his heat. While the ship's kitchen was fireproof, outside the kitchen was not. Mirra serves as the barrier between Arjien and the ship's destruction.

### Chef

The professional and highly-passionate chef of the crew is Arjien Dulcis, who is actually Tendon's younger half-brother. Arjien prides himself on how he treats men and women fairly as his adoptive family (House Dulcis) objectified women and put them above the male gender. Due to this, Arjien will fight both men and women without relent. He is typically indifferent when he's flirted with by strangers as he's said to be good-looking, but will swoon over his beloved Mirra whenever he sees her and they have probably one of the healthiest relationships in the Pambuno series. He cooks exquisite cuisine and will use every last part of whatever ingredients he has due to an unfortunate childhood. Whenever he sees someone throw food out, he will deliberately chastise and even assault them, lecturing them about their wastefulness. It was Meijin who taught him to cook and as such, he sees Meijin as a father figure. Arjien isn't without his faults however, as he can be very emotionally-expressive and endanger those around him with his flames. He also has a gambling addiction and tends to be intimidating to everyone but Mirra, Tendon, Tenebris and Meijin.
