Destiny's Hand - Characters

Characters

  • Olivia Soldana
The daughter of a rich family, Olivia left her family behind to join Blaine's crew. She is 16 years of age and the main character in Destiny's Hand. She became Captain Blaine's right hand woman and the one to lead his crew on one last adventure after his death. However, it is hard for the crew to trust her because she is a girl, no matter how strong or brave. She is the Ring finger of Destiny's hand. It represents commitment and the future.
  • Sebastian Blaine
Captain of the "Destiny's Hand," he is a noble captain and a gentleman pirate. Sadly, his breed is dying. He is in search for the Devil's Eye, so the new, violent pirates can't get it, for example, Lars Mulgrew. His ship the Destiny's Hand is said to be unsinkable. He is renowned for sparing the crew and passengers that surrender him. He will merely take the cargo and escort the ship safely to port.
  • Diego Basteon
Boatswain aboard the "Destiny's Hand," works hard to keep discipline amongst the crew and as such has become one of Blaine's key lieutenants. His weapon of choice is a cat-o-nine-tails which he is very effective in using. He has a very bad temper. Diego is the Middle finger of Destiny's Hand. It represents anger and aggression
  • Frederick Matthau
He is the stragtegist and navigator aboard Destiny's Hand, and said to be the best at reading both situations and maps. Matthau is also said to be an excellent judge of character, who by his own nature is a very solitary and lonely man keeping most of his contact with Blaine. Matthau is the Thumb of Destiny's Hand. It is the finger that is the leader of the rest.
  • Badru
A native from one of the local islands. He admires Blaine's gentlemanly way with piracy. He is considered by Owen to be stupid, but Olivia claims that he is the smartest man aboard, probably because of his survival skills. He is also one of the few members of the crew who can read and write. Badru is the Pinky of Destiny's hand, which represents friendship. Badru was completely redesigned from his original model to make him stand out more.
  • Owen Galviston
Though he came aboard the Destiny's Hand to write a biography of Blaine, he hasn't for six years and has stayed on the ship since remaining a 'guest' of the crew. He is the one who tells the story of young Olivia at the beginning of the series.
  • Wyatt
Wyatt joined the crew about a few years after Olivia joins the crew. He's last name is unknown. He is the lookout aboard Destiny's Hand. He has keen eyesight and a tendency to be in places he should not be, and someday dreams of working with the sails rather than being a lookout.
  • Thomas Houghton
Governor of St. Vickensberg, and very anti-pirate making his port very dangerous for pirates to get anywhere near. Also due to his personal troubles with Captain Blaine in the past, something neither man will talk about, there is very bad blood between them, fueling his general hatred of all pirates.
  • Elias Houghton
Son of Governor Houghton who has inherited his father's distaste for pirates. However, this is a problem for Blaine, who needs his help for the last quest he is setting out to fulfill. Elias is actually Blaine's son.
  • Lars Mulgrew
He is a symbol of everything that Blaine hates, following a path of pillage and killing rather than the more peaceful one Blaine desires all pirates to follow. He takes Blaine's last good lung, which causes Blaine to appoint Olivia as captain.
  • Michel Langrisse
Captain of the defense fleet of the port of Valroux, which is a very pirate-friendly port. Blaine's crew is particularly welcome because they never hurt innocents and try to avoid killing anyone. He is later revealed to be the man whom Olivia was arranged to marry. He has a quite laidback attitude, but he knows when to put his foot down and take order again. In the series, Michel and Olivia have a some kind of a relationship.
  • Lady Kate
Lady Kate is the figurehead on Destiny's Hand. Some say it's her protection that makes the ship unsinkable. The only thing certain about her is that Lady Kate is inspired by a real woman, someone who meant a lot to Captain Blaine further the figurehead of Lady Kate also has a sadness about her that seems to hint a lot about her story.
  • The Kraken
Mulgrew's ship is called The Kraken, named after one of the most feared mythical creatures of the deep. Since Destiny's Hand has Lady Kate, the Kraken has its own figurehead. This figurehead inspires terror in all who behold it.

Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    Of all the characters I have known, perhaps Walden wears best, and best preserves its purity. Many men have been likened to it, but few deserve that honor. Though the woodchoppers have laid bare first this shore and then that, and the Irish have built their sties by it, and the railroad has infringed on its border, and the ice-men have skimmed it once, it is itself unchanged, the same water which my youthful eyes fell on; all the change is in me.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
