== Biography ==
 
 
 
Barrister is one of the most easily identifiable pirates in all the [[ocean]]s.  His garish [[clothing]] sets him apart in almost any crowd, especially when wearing his usual violet/aqua [[clothing (hats)|turban]].  Barrister sports an eyepatch due to an [[injury]] he received at {{blockade|island=Endurance|number=III|ocean=Midnight}}.
 
 
 
He originally began playing on the [[Midnight Ocean]] in its earliest days, making him one of the few [[beta development stage|beta players]] that never played on the original [[Azure Ocean]].  He quickly joined The Yo-Ho Yo-Yos where he rose through the ranks to become its third (and present) captain after [[Spinn]] and [[Jacquilynne]] each stepped down.
 
 
 
Active in [[flag]] politics, he was instrumental in negotating the return of Jorvik Island from [[M A D]] less than two weeks after {{blockade|island=Jorvik|number=IX|ocean=Midnight}}.  Later, he was elected Looterati's fourth Prime Minister, serving the usual six-month term.  During his tenure as Prime Minister, he oversaw one of the flag's most tumultuous periods in the final phase of the [[Scallywag War]].
 
 
 
He keeps a fleet of ships of all sizes and colors.  While they all have aqua-colored railings, no two ships have the same color sideboards and there is a ship for each [[paint]] color, including gold.  The larger ships mirror Barrister's taste in clothing and his [[grand frigate]] and [[merchant galleon]] are on display in the thread [http://forums.puzzlepirates.com/community/mvnforum/viewthread?p=212435 When Good Art Goes Bad].
 
 
 
Barrister was one of the players to help start the unofficial Puzzle Pirates [[wikipedia:wiki|wiki]].  When it migrated to its current official location, he became one of the first batch of player [[YPPedia:Administrators|administrators]].
 
 
 
These days, he spends most of his time in-game playing [[poker]], having won over a million [[pieces of eight|PoE]] in the first six weeks after its [[release 2006-02-02|release]].  He uses his winnings to pay for wiki experiments, mostly involving [[decay]] rates and [[portrait item]]s.
 
 
 
Barrister occasionally plays as Insomniac on non-Midnight oceans.  Even less frequently, he can be spotted as Shyster.  Those pirates do not share Barrister's distinctive fashion sense.
