Role On the Black Dragon: People usually think that the most pirate Captains commanded by an iron fist, but in most cases, it was not true. The pirate Captains were selected because they were respected, not because they were feared. When electing a Captain, the crew looked for someone who was capable of commanding and navigating a ship. Also, it was crucial that captain has courage and skill in both, sword and pistol fighting.
Captain had absolute control only in a battle. In everyday life, Captains did not have much more rights than any other crewmember. Even sail courses were determined by voting.
In Navy, captains and officers had military rank. There was always a big gap between common sailor and officer. However, on a ship full of murderers, bandits, and thieves, most decisions were determinate by voting! It may sound strange, but the Pirates were Democrats! They had their own pirate ranks! On a pirate's ship, there was no such thing as a member of the privileged class. Everybody had same rights, and their roles and duties were appointed, only according to their abilities and knowledge.
History: Kato was born to a very wealthy family. However, when the time came to marry her off, her parents had chosen a man that she could not, and would not ever love. The more they tried to force her into the marriage with Raphael Wickham, the more Kato resisted. It was their engagement ball when Kato had hidden within a dark room for some peace and quiet, and to gather her bearings, when Raphael and another woman had entered the room. They were unaware of her presence, and thus, they had discussed the money he would receive in dowry, as well as the funds he could claim upon her death. Her parents would never have believed such a wild tale, and so, Kato ran away...and disappeared from the face of the earth.
