Ryan the Dreaded: the Pirate general

Attacking

Celina Lucyna: Rome's lady general

Prologue
"Before we can do anything we need to find the entrance again," Markus Thaowan says, "And for that, the best option is to follow one of our hosts."

"How do we decide which one," Christian Kenway asks, "Leo's out of the question for obvious reasons."

"True... let's each pick a host at random and follow them. And one other thing - I've informed Cadwalader, but we can't tell Lloyd until we find the entrance again. Leo's got some sort of link to his mind, and we can't risk him changing it around."

"Good idea. Let's do it."

Born 1492, Ryan became new ores with pirates until he turned 18 and attempted to start his own crew. It was rough at first, with Ryan and his 2-dozen man crew forced to take on the English navy, until he vowed to work with the English against his won people, Spain. Ryan quickly established himself as brutal and ruthless when his raid on a Spanish town ended with the deaths of everyone involved, including half of his current crew. It is rumored that He was gifted with a 5,000 man fleet out of fear and respect by the English, whom he regards as worthy opponents and allies. He has a light-hearted sense of humor and attempts to be kind and courteous whenever the situation requires it. He will battle in 1v1 combat with honor.
