Aconight

From YPPedia

Aconight is senior officer and quartermaster of the crew Poer y Ddraig and a prince of the flag Nidiata Dei Draghi. He is a lieutenant commander in the Turtle Island Navy in the Diamond Archipelago and sails the Midnight Ocean.

A Short History

Aconight has been sailing on the Midnight Ocean for over four years now and was introduced to Puzzle Pirates by Zenggah. The first crew he joined was the Dark Thorn Dragons in the first Nidiata Dei Draghi where he rose through the ranks to become a fleet officer. Once the crew and flag was disbanded he served a short stint in Evening Star, before moving to be a senior officer in Burley’s crew, the Half-Blood Pirates.

Time went by and slowly the crew mates that had joined HBP from the first NDD left the game, and with no new crew mates joining, the end drew near for the Half-blood’s. Burley herself left to form a 2-person crew with her “Pirate-husband” Goatsick, and Aconight was made captain.

For the next year, Aconight barely made an appearance on Puzzle Pirates but then he was approached by Zenggah and things begun to change. His old friend spoke of reforming Nidiata Dei Draghi to its former glory, of weeknights filled with fun and conversation, and so Aconight returned as senior officer and quartermaster of Poer Y Ddraig and prince of the flag Nidiata Dei Draghi.

Pet Origins

Varg, is not a Dog as some believe, but actually a snow-wolf. In game, Aconight claims he found Varg as a little pup, abandoned on Norse Island. Out of game, Aconight submits to the fact that he is actually a 10,000 PoE Dog, from the palace shoppe on Turtle. Varg is actually the Swedish word for Wolf.

Orbknight was a Starter-Rat, named as a joke after one of Aconight's closest friends in real life, and in game. Now the little Rat serves as a tribute to Orbknight, who left the game some years ago. He also guards the dungeons in Aconight's Row House.

Fish-Face was a Christmas present from one of Aconight’s closest friends, Zingaer. To this day, the loving little house-cat roams the front room of Aconight’s Row House, waiting to welcome him home.

Duties in the Crew and Flag

Aconight is a Senior officer in a Oligarchic Crew and a Prince of the Flag. This means that he has a vote on all crew and flag issues and he takes this duty very seriously. Less formally, he is also the Quartermaster.

Back in the times of Pirates and Tall-Ships, the Quartermaster is more akin to those in the land armies of old. They hold far more authority, being required to gather supplies, dole out those supplies to the crew, and decide what plunder to take after a battle. They are also the disciplinary arm of the ship, maintaining order and giving out punishments for minor infractions. This type of quartermaster normally acts as first mate on a ship without one. And indeed, on most Crew pillages, Aconight has been an XO.

Aconight has also been known to use this title to play jokes on his Captain, Zenggah, and because of this has also had the titles Urchin, Damsel and Wench.
