Jacquelyn Elizabeth Swan was born to a wealthy high society family in 1901. She was expected to marry well and bear children but wanted nothing of that life. She used the money meant to be her dowry to start a small shipping company called Swan Shipping.
She traveled on board her ships with her captains and during one of these trips they were overrun by pirates. She fought alongside her crew with sword and pistol, shouting encouragement to her own, while taunting and screaming obscenities at the pirates. Things looked grim, but Jacquelyn would not give up, and just when things looked their darkest . . . it became horribly worse! The Captain of the Pirates came out of the haze of gun smoke and blood grabbed her by the neck and lifted her feet from the deck. He WAS A MONSTER!!! Literally, with tentacles on his face, and a crab’s claw for one of his hands, he looked like a demon from the depths. “Tell me, Captain Swan, do you fear Death?” She couldn’t actually speak, but managed to spit at the creature, and glare. Truth to say, the spit didn’t even reach him. “Ah, that’s what I thought!” said the Monster Captain. “I’ll make you a deal. If you want to save your crew, I can give you that. But you’ll have to do something for me.” He reached into his own chest with the crab claw, and ripped out his own heart. “You’ll have to keep this safe, For All Eternity.” Her eyes moved back and forth, seeing her crew falling before the pirates, and her own lungs burning for air, she grasped out with her hand, and clutched at the heart. “Then we’ve a deal!”, said the Monster, as he plunged his claw, heart and all, into Jacquelyn’s chest!
In the next moment, the horrifically disguised Imperator was gone, and The Noble of Courage surged to her feet, “HOLD FAST MY FELLOWS! THEY CANNOT KILL OUR COURAGE! FIGHT!” And the day was won.
