Ambition Is Evil: Druvalia's goal is to climb the ranks of Cheliax's aristocracy, no matter how many bodies she drops in the process.Having cut a deal with the archdevil Geryon for support, Druvalia has suborned Captain Barnabas Harrigan to her will, and aims to bring down the Shackles once and for all. Starter Villain: The mutiny against him is at the core of the first part of the Adventure Path.Ī distant cousin of Queen Abrogail Thrune, Druvalia is an ambitious social climber who joined the Chelaxian Navy in order to make her reputation.Smug Snake: He's relentlessly unpleasant and convinced of his superiority.Sadist: He enjoys making his crew suffer, as payback for his rough life.Not So Harmless: If Plugg escapes the PCs at the end of The Wormwood Mutiny, he can return as a Pirate Lord in his own right, with a handpicked crew of cutthroats and a new ship.Hate Sink: He and his henchman, Master Scourge, are there to absorb all the hate that the PCs might otherwise direct towards Harrigan, presenting a CR 4 adversary whom they can eventually beat as a substitute for his CR 15 boss.Plugg is first mate, and ostensibly the captain's right hand man, but he has only been onboard a year and has failed to truly penetrate Harrigan's inner circle, which contains many pirates more experienced than himself. If he somehow survives, he can return with his own ship, the Severe. The Captain: He becomes captain of the Man's Promise partway through the first part of the Adventure Path.The Bully: He bullies and harasses all of the players to make up for the fact that he does not truly have the captain's trust.Bald of Evil: He keeps his head bald except for a single long ponytail.He takes an instant dislike to the players, and does everything he can to make their lives miserable. The vicious and sadistic first mate of the Wormwood, Plugg is an angry young man who has never overcome the scars of a life as a dockside beggar in the Shackles. Turncoat: After being captured by Druvalia, Harrigan turned his allegiance from the Shackles to Cheliax.Harrigan appears to be this, but parts ways with the PCs early on, leaving them with the real Starter Villain, Mister Plugg. Scary Black Man: A huge, intimidating Garundi man.Revenge: If he survives The Price of Infamy, Harrigan dedicates his life to vengeance on the PCs.The Mole: He's Druvalia Thrune's agent in the Shackles, feeding her information and sowing division in preparation for her invasion.Manipulative Bastard: He plays his fellow Pirate Lords and Free Captains off against one another, spreading rumours of treachery throughout the council in order to hide his own deceit.It's Personal: Making the PCs pay for deserting is already quite person for him, but after the party humiliates him at the Free Captains' Regatta taking them down becomes a matter of personal pride.Eyepatch of Power: In classic piratical style.In reality he's a pawn of Druvalia Thrune, the actual Big Bad, who takes center stage after his defeat in Part 5. Disc-One Final Boss: Harrigan looks like the Big Bad of the Adventure Path.Beard of Evil: He keeps a long, black, heavily braided pirate beard.Bald of Evil: He shaves his head completely bald.If he somehow survives his last encounter with the party, he returns with a new identity and a new ship to plague them once again. Archenemy: There are other, more powerful adversaries out there, but few the players will hate more than Harrigan.Unbeknownst to almost all, he is currently enslaved to Admiral Druvalia Thrune of Cheliax and, under her orders, is preparing to open the Shackles for a Chelish invasion. The brutal master of the Wormwood, Harrigan is one of the most feared pirates in the Inner Sea Region.
