Saltar

Saltar was the male sea rat captain of the Darkqueen under the the command of Gabool the Wild. He was the brother of Bludrigg. A particularly cruel corsair, when he discovered Mariel Gullwhacker hidden under a blanket in a cabin of the Periwinkle, he subdued her by beating her and threw several of her shipmates overboard.

After hearing of Bludrigg's death, Saltar sailed back to Terramort Isle. Emboldened by the news that Mariel escaped from Gabool, he proceeded to challenge Gabool for the rule of Fort Bladegirt. Although Saltar did not really love Bludrigg, he wished to punish the offense against his brother's honor. His attempt to attack Terramort with his crew failed when Gabool preempted his move. Although Saltar was an experienced fighter and often used a hook to parry attacks, he was eventually killed with a trap hidden by Gabool behind a curtain.

Not to be confused with Saltear.
