"Her crew works with such efficacy, I am not sure if it's from loyalty or fear..." Rescued Survivor
Thought to be dead for years by her husband after the destruction of their ship, she continued to cause havoc aboard various ships before taking over her own, shortly before being reunited with her, also thought to be dead, husband.
The two of them sailed around harassing both the Maelstrom and Garleans, and pretty much anyone they came in contact with. Looting and pillaging together, making up for the time they were forced apart, living every day like their last.
Although she was known as "The Black" because of her hair, she has been sighted on land again with white hair, and alone. Her piratical activities seemingly over, she says little to anyone and tends to stick to short term bodyguard work.
