Captain Squawky is a mutant African Grey parrot who somehow absorbed theintellect of Captain Josiah Wilks…better known as Captain Satan. At the moment that Captain Satan died, his mind was transferred into his parrot, Squawky. The bird then proceeded to tell the crew how to get out of the trap that His Majesty’s Navy had laid for them. Once safely away from danger, the ill educated and very superstitious crew decided that they’d better do as Captain Squawky said and let him run the ship, lest he summon the Devil himself to drag them all to Hell. And that’s how the most feared pirate ship ever came to be captained by a parrot.
In his spare time, Captain Squawky enjoys drinking rum, eating sunflower seeds and overseeing floggings.
