Johnny Red - The pirate leader. proud, but not a backstabber, makes a good leader on the quest. Pete the Rat - The cook on the ship, one-eyed and fairly trust- worthy also. The Weasel - The name says it all, works in a plot to reap the benefits of the expedition all by himself. (A little back-stabber). McGinty - The owner of McGinty's Salvage. Disgusting habits, self -ish and unsure... A real pain. Other characters - Just fill in the other needed roles, can be asked questions, but don't always answer... Note: Many things are random in this game, just follow the solve and there shouldn't be too many problems.
