Captain Charles Seaworth

Captain Charles Seaworth was a human seafarer from Kul Tiras, a veteran of the Second War, and the captain of the Admiral's Pride.

Early Life
Charles was born in Kul Tiras's capital city of Boralus and was orphaned at an early age. He grew up learning to survive on the streets of the poorest sections of the city as one of Boralus's many urchins. This hard life taught him many lessons, which he took with him when he enlisted in the Kul Tiran Navy at an early age.

He fought pirates, naga, and other seafaring threats as a marine, showing both skill in battle and charisma early on. He was given the nickname "Seaworth" by his fellow sailors, due to his uncanny affinity for the sea (even for a Kul Tiran). He took to sailing faster than anyone else, and soon couldn't feel comfortable unless he was on the deck of a ship. Seawoth eventually rose to the rank of captain and was given command of his own ship, a new vessel (at the time), which he named the Admiral's Pride. Upon gaining his ship, he took his old nickname for his official surname.

Second War (4-18)
When Kul Tiras joined the Alliance of Lordaeron, Captain Seaworth was among the first to volunteer to take the fight to the savage invaders of the Horde. He served under Lord Admiral Daelin Proudmoore and his son Derek Proudmoore during the war, fighting in both the Battle of Zul'Dare and the Battle of Crestfall, as well as several smaller battles on the high seas. In was during the war that he met Sir Jeffery Connolly, a Gilnean nobleman and knight who served in Gilneas's navy. They became close friends, with Seaworth eventually taking Connolly as his first mate.

After the closing of the Second War, Captain Seaworth served the Kul Tiran Navy for a little over a decade before he and Connolly had saved up enough money to buy their ship, making the Admiral's Pride well and truly theirs.

Third War (20-22)
In the following years, Seaworth and Connolly collected other free-spirited individuals (mostly Kul Tiran sailors, though there were plenty who did not fit that category) and added them to the crew, sailing around the Great Sea and selling their services to the highest bidder, living lives of adventure. When Connolly heard of unrest back in Gilneas, he returned home and ended up trapped behind the Greymane Wall. It was years before Seaworth and Connolly saw one another again.

Captain Seaworth was devastated when he heard of Daelin Proudmoore's death, and was shocked to hear that it had happened because of a betrayal from the Lord Admiral's own daughter, Jaina Proudmoore. Like many in the island nation, he grew to despise Jaina for her actions (or at least the version that the people of Kul Tiras heard).

Mists of Pandaria (30)
During the Alliance and Horde's conflicts across Pandaria, the Admiral's Pride was hired to ferry supplies between Alliance bases, the ship's arsenal enough to dissuade all but the most foolhardy Horde privateers. While docked at Lion's Landing, Seaworth met Kai-ron Zao, who joined the ship's crew.
