Meet the crew!

Name:  Baby Sidney, a.k.a. "Hissing Sid"

Rank:  Boatswain

Ethnicity:  Seal-point Siamese

Ladies and gents, this is the man who keeps Captain Jack's crew focused on their day to day duties.  He's a level-headed and fair-minded chap, but look into his eyes... you don't want to cross him, do you?  No... you don't!  Captain Jack runs a tight ship, and it's in no small part thanks to Baby Sidney and his "people skills"...!  Step out of line and you'll get a bat round yer lug 'ole!

Baby Sidney appeared on our doorstep here at Feral Cove some years ago, as nothing more than a tiny wee bairn, and a sickly one at that.  Mad Bess and myself took him in, bottle-fed him, and he grew up big and strong... though he had a tendency to hiss at folk, which is why Bess called him "Hissing Sid" after a television character (a puppet snake, I believe) from her childhood. 

When our old boatswain and dear friend, Mister Snoopy Noodles, was on his final bed o'fliction at the age of seventeen, Bess asked me who I thought would take over for him.  I answered without hesitation that it would be Sidney.  At the time, she thought me mad!  "But he's only a baby," she exclaimed!  I however had observed Mister Noodles spending time with Baby Sidney, accepting him into his "personal space" and bonding with him... maybe it's a "guy thing," but Captain Jack had no doubt whatsoever who his next boatswain would be.

Mister Noodles left you some damn big gumboots to fill, Baby Sidney, but Captain Jack says you not only stepped up to the plate, but hit that sucker out of the park... you're a good man, my friend!
