Biography:
Peter Duff was born in Clade to a carpenter's family and worked with his father and 4 older brothers at one of the local shipyards until he was 15 years old. This could have continued indefinitely. But one day, Peter signed on as a cabin boy on some vessel and said goodbye forever (as he hoped) to the boring life of an ordinary worker. The sea came easily to the young man, and by the age of 18 he became an assistant navigator. Bright prospects loomed ahead – to obtain the rank of captain, buy or capture his own ship, engage in profitable trade with remote colonies… But during a storm, their ship ran aground and crashed. Only two survived – Peter and the boatswain. They sat on a rock for three days waiting for rescue or death. Rescue came in the form of a rather battered schooner, whose captain offered the unfortunate men to join them or perish. The schooner turned out to be a pirate ship... Then followed the same sailor’s life – searching for loot, chases, boarding actions, clashes with the republican military fleet and fleets of creatures, drinking sprees ashore, hard labor, repeated attempts to escape, which eventually succeeded... War with the creatures... And now Peter Duff is part of another research expedition sailing the waters of the Wild Ocean, hoping to find untold treasures in some God-forsaken place and return home as a rich man, without squandering all that he has acquired in the first port he comes across. Alas, his hopes are unfounded. And he understands this.
