Overview
Clive the Fearsome was the leader of a large pirate band, known as Clive's Few, which was based out of one of many "pirates coves" located within the cluster world known as Garden.
Description
In truth, "Clive the Fearsome" was merely a persona adopted by each successive leader of the pirate band. The current incumbent was a man named Orion of Calimshan, who had been appointed leader by his predecessor over eight years ago, making him the 11th in a long line of "Clives". Orion was incredibly strong and highly intelligent, making him a formidable opponent, though few would consider him handsome.
Activities
Clive led a band of over 100 pirates, and commanded a flotilla of 12 relatively small spelljamming ships, none of which were larger than 50 tons, and included a wasp ship, a tradesman and a locust.
Although Clive didn't believe in needlessly expending good men, his band still experienced a high turnover of loyal crew due to constant battles with the Imperial Fleet. As such, Clive was known to actively recruit new crew members from passing ships.
History
The "Clive's Few" pirate band had been in existence for over 125 years. When their first leader retired, his successor realised that it was far easier to adopt his predecessors' formidable reputation than garner his own. By the time the third "Clive" died in battle with an elven armada, the legend of the unstoppable "Clive the Fearsome" had been firmly established.
