Sputnik
Sputnik is currently the captain of the crew Crimson Sails on the Midnight Ocean. His first mate is Aquariana. He is also a Lord of the Crimson Tide.
He founded Crimson Sails originally to pillage together with Aquariana anytime. He wanted to be able to control his own ship and crew. Sputnik and Aquariana have a weird sense of humor and don't really mind a little "colorful" language or "R-rated" topics. What they don't approve of is excessive swearing or X-rated stuff.
He treats everyone he meets with respect until they prove they do not deserve it. Pirates who have played with him in the game know that Sputnik tries to stay "in character" as much as possible. He always says "Ahoy Mate" and screams "Yar!!!" before fights. There are times when he talks about things outside of the game but he tries to limit it as much as possible and usually tries to keep it in tells and not on the crew or vessel chat screen.
He's pretty easy going on those who sail with him as long as they listen to where they are supposed to be. Nothing gets him angrier than someone coming aboard and not saying a word, going below decks and taking up bilge when the commanding officer clearly said Ahoy mate, please grab a sail. That just shows that this pirate plays Puzzle Pirates as a single player game and does not think of how their actions affect those around them.
He has no connection with the Sputnik on Cobalt! Stop Asking!
Pirates who would like to join his crew should see the Crimson Sails article.

His Pet
| Piggy | |
Piggy is a bilge rat, she just hangs out below deck on the Crimson Carp, which is rumored to be cursed! (actually piggy peed in all of the corners below decks and now the "evil spirits" have left and are suing Sputnik and the Crimson Sails for wrongful eviction). She drinks the rum in the hold when she thinks no one is looking. She helps the crew out by cheering them on during boardings and sea battles. She has been known to jump onto the enemy's ship and pee in their soup while they are distracted sword fighting or rumbling. Watch yer PoE sack around her as well as she has a bad case of kleptomania.
