THE DREADS, Maritime/New England region, North American Northeast (Woodship Barrow command unit [1]; Gooperator offensive cannon [1])

Name: IRONBOUND Ike

Position: BRUTE

The Upside of Being Tongueless: An excuse for a pre-existing preference for saying very little

Origins: The scallop beds of the Digby shore

Little-Known Fact: Perhaps the most widely-travelled of all the pirates, Ike is the keeper of more epic stories than all the others put together

Brute IRONBOUND Ike has no tongue. His wordless shouts are said to cause little or no communication barrier among the crew. We are informed he repeatedly charades the means of his accidental tongue amputation, but so far all attempts to recreate the incident have been reported as incomprehensible. Ike is one of three brutes on crew for sheer muscle power.
