Not much is known about Peter Quint since he’s a relatively new companion in Pirate101, but one thing is for sure, he’s a valuable companion in every Buccaneer’s Crew. Read on to catch a glimpse of his past and what made him the power Buccaneer that he is.



Welcome to the Pirate101 Rogue’s Gallery. Subject, Peter Quint

Jeremiah Quint’s family was the first of the Pelicans to clamber up the sides of the Great Whale, one of the founders of the fishing village that would come to be Jonahtown. For a long while the Quints were the most prosperous fisherman in the village... until the frogs and their minions moved into the belly of the Whale. As The Frogfather rose to power, Pelicans like the Quints became less and less influential. Things grew so bad that Peter, youngest of the clan, vowed never to touch fishing tackle again. Peter left Jonahtown aboard a Monquistan Galleon, bound to seek his fortune in the Napoleguinic Wars.

In the lean years after the wars, Quint’s newfound skills as a warrior coupled with his old skills as angler made him one of the best Bounty Hunters in the Spiral. He hunted all types of quarry: Wharf Rat Rogues in Skull Island, Mustang Outlaws in Cool Ranch, Moo Shu Bandits, even the worst Radicals of Albion were no match for Quint’s relentless skill as a hunter. But after many turns of the Spiral, Quint found himself craving something more meaningful than mere gold –true adventure! Seeking out his old friend Mordekai at Skull Island Fort, he resolved to find a great captain and follow them to glory.

It was great seeing everyone come out for the CourtCam event on 19 January! We handed out a few exclusive “Metal Eye” Eyepatches and a rare doubloon for all in attendance.

Stay tuned to our Vine and Twitter sites in February for our next CourtCam appearance.

Also, it appears our friend Ditto Pirate has now adventured into MooShu! Unfortunately, it also appears he had a bit of trouble with the Wandering Koi he found there:

Thanks for the entertaining Vine, Ditto!
