Khayam
Named after the famous persian poet Omar Khayam (Khayyam, Khayyami)who is believed to have composed somewhere between 200 and 600 Rubaiyat (quatrains), Khayam is one of the sea’s strangest and most unlikely pirates and, consequently, not a very familiar figure among Hunter Ocean's symbolic pirates.

Legend
According to several legends, he started his career as a young sailor on Sage, where he evolved as one of ocean's most famous bucaneers. However, at a certain point he decided to give all his fortune to his crew-mates and travelled alone and empty-handed to Hunter islands to seek fortune and fame, once more. His actions, as expected, created a great shock to his friends from Sage Ocean, as no one could find a reason to leave a monarch life, in order to become an anonymous pirate.
Facts
As many notorious pirates before him, Khayam served as an apprentice with some of Hunter's best crews, but refused to join any of them for a while. At a certain point in his career he was offered the Captaincy of the Puzzle Pirates after a officer's mutiny against the founder at the end of which the Crew counted only 5 active members. However, despite of sailing under different flags, he remained strogly connected with his friends that left, mainly due to his system of values according to which, the bonds of friendship are simply unbreakable. After a while in which he was able to improve the crew's fame and status, he decided to go again on a solitary path.
Personality
Although he has been known to lead very profitable pillages, he also used to solo his sloop against barbarians and brigands, a thing that is not very common in the archives of piracy (mainly because officers don't like to gun, sail, carpent or bilge and, in the same time, focus on battle navigation). However, tributary to a b-nav strategy focused on applying fatal blows on a exhausted opponent, his solo pillages were not allways successful, mainly due to the fact that he engages any ship he encounters on the high seas, including superiour and very well maned vessels. His portfolio of unheard actions can be completed with the fact that, often, he payed supplementary ammounts of pieces of eight to jobbers out of his own pocket or even shared with them the profit gained by selling all plundered booty.
