Greek Fire

Greek Fire is a crew that sails the Meridian Ocean. The crew currently flies the flag of Post Mortem.

History
Greek Fire was founded on May 29, 2005, by Professeur, the crew's original captain, and first mate Joff.

In a rather short period of time Greek Fire grew to become a strong crew on the Viridian ocean. The first flag that the crew was in was Moros de Mindanao (MDM).

After a short while Professeur thought it better to move the crew into the flag Brethren of all Coasts, where the crew Death's Shadow was already a member. This move ultimately brought Professeur and Kenna together and they were married in game a short time later.



After being in the flag for a while, the flag started to degrade and Professeur tried his hand at leading his own flag, Le Feu de la Mort.

Then during December of 2005, Professeur stepped down as captain and monarch, due to real life issues, and promoted Redrumcherry to captain of the crew, and handed the reins of the flag over to Kerix, captain of the crew Vim.

Shortly there after Kerix also left the game for a short while to do real life issues, and Redrumcherry moved the crew into the flag, Teh Booch under the leadership of Blackmaria.

After about a month, Redrumcherry stepped down and promoted Montecarlo to the captaincy of the crew. Montecarlo kept Greek Fire in Teh Booch for as long as he could, but do to politics and not wanting to be at war and possibly loose some of his crew's ships, he decided it best to move on.

Dopefish a hearty of Joyceann, senior officer of Greek Fire, was more than happy to have the crew join his flag Revelation. Greek Fire had finally found a home in a flag that was friendly and always helpful, until turmoil tore the flag apart in late June and early July of 2006.

Oneeyedbob, senior officer of Greek Fire, and Montecarlo co-founded the short lived flag Tears of the Phoenix, but after a few weeks, real life interceded again and the flag was disbanded.

Greek Fire then became an independent crew for a while but finally ended up joining the flag Post Mortem.
