Katherine Bonney

Life on The Crimson Death
Katherine Bonney was born to a captive of a small pirate ship by the name of The Crimson Death. After an illness saw her mother's life ended only a week later, the crew took Bonney on to be one of their own, raising her to learn the pirate trade. While proficient with ranged weapons, her most dangerous skill is her sharp intellect and charm. These talents were not wasted either, creating a name for herself performing cons while the ship refueled. After a near escape after one such outing, Katherine was made to answer to her captain. The discussion did not end well, leading to a quick escape.

Life on The Emperor’s Curse
After six months scraping together a living, at the age of 16 Bonney joined the crew of The Emperor’s Curse, a pirate ship with a particularly nasty reputation. It is here she earned the nick name “The Crimson Kiss,” a reference to the first ship she worked as well as her particularly promiscuous ways. While piracy is considered her main profession, she has not been above selling herself for a bit of extra coin, a habit she picked up between crews.

She continued to work The Emperor’s Curse until the age of 22. It was then when the ship boarded a vessel carrying three men of faith. Two Brothers of the Order Militant were killed on the spot. The third, a Brother of the Order of the Book, was captured and ransomed. However, while the ransom was paid, the Brother’s particularly pious ways had personally affronted the captain. It was never discovered how the young man escaped, however, Bonny disappeared at the same time. No one is entirely sure why she gave up her fruitful career on The Emperor’s Curse for the life of stranger, but rumours have surfaced suggesting that the two were related.

The Triton Sector
After a brief disappearance of approximately a year, Bonney turned to more legitimate trade. Looking for new adventures and opportunities, she joined the crew of the Wandering Son, enjoying the company of those faithful to the Emperor.
