Personal History: Alastair is very proud of his history. Born in the town of Drumnadrochit on the banks of Loch Ness, Alastair's family were direct descendants of the great William Wallace, the Braveheart himself. He lost his father to the Loch (claimed by the creature of the deep, some said), his brothers and sisters all married off and moved elsewhere, and his mother passed away because of the famine that wracked England at the time, a carry-over from yet another set of Ireland's potato problems.
With nothing left for him and a stomach growing emptier by the day, he packed what little his family had left, took down Sir William's sword off the wall, and decided to search for his fortune. He made his way south into England, deciding to make his way in a vaguely-Americas-ward direction. His first placement was on the HMS Valiance, where he learned the trade of sailing. Not long afterwards, he found himself in Nassau at the age of thirty-two, healthy and hale, with a purse full of coin and a desire to find another ship. One that didn't have as strict regulations on its sailors during shore leave.
After a particularly exciting bar brawl, he found himself sitting at the docks with an Arab, laughing drunkenly and swapping stories. It wasn't long after that Alastair found himself on the Almighty Allah's Ascerbic Acrimonious Adjudication. To this day, Alastair refuses to call it by its full name, instead calling it Allah's Wrath.
As a crew member, he is especially loyal to Alshshams, and is often one of the first people to charge onto the enemy ship when it's close enough for boarding. He carries Sir William's greatsword with him into battle, his face painted in traditional woad, wearing his family's tartan around his waist. On the shore, he leaves his face clean of blue paint, and has a tendency to get into bar brawls at the drop of a hat. On late nights of watch, he can sometimes be seen looking off to the northeast, gazing towards his home. He has no desire to return, but a Scotsman must acknowledge what he is and where he came from. Otherwise, he is not a true Scot at all.
