{{SRD5ref}} In addition to managing a crew of selfish malcontents, the '''Pirate Captain''' is a variation of the {{SRD5|Bandit Captain}}, with a ship to protect and command. To keep the crew in line, the captain must mete out rewards and punishment on a regular basis.

More than treasure, a bandit captain or pirate captain craves infamy. A prisoner who appeals to the captain's vanity or ego is more likely to be treated fairly than a prisoner who does not or claims not to know anything of the captain's colorful reputation.
