The legend of Ratbeard is told to any pirat who takes to the sewers. He was, despite being near-sighted, the king of plunderers—and the story goes he wove hemp ropes into his hair, which were doused in saltpeter and set on fire, to slowly burn and surround his head with smoke, thusly freaking out his enemies. He met his demise when he turned his ship into a septic system and the methane met his molten braids. A grand exit, to be sure.
