Name: Jean Fleury. His nickname is Florin, but his crew calls him Captain Florin.

Gender: Male.

Age: Between 30 through 40, his age is unknown.

Personality: Florin is quite reserved, but he's fierce. He is quiet and patient, and loves for his victims to die slowly. But he's actually good-hearted, and protects his ship and crew with his life. He's noble and wealthy, but there is a mystery surrounding him. He trusts no one and doesn't reside in anyone, and nobody really knows him.

History: Jean Fleury (or Florin) was a 16th-century French naval officer and privateer. He is best known for the capture of two out of the three Spanish galleons carrying the Aztec treasure from Mexico to Spain in 1522. This was one of the earliest recorded acts of piracy against the new Spanish Empire and encouraged the French Corsairs, Dutch Sea Beggars and English Sea Dogs to begin attacking shipping and settlements in the Spanish Main during the next several decades.

A French corsair and naval officer from Dieppe in Normandy, Fleury served as a pilot under Jean Ango and commanded a small squadron during the Four Years' War. He was involved in long range naval warfare, operating as far as 2,000 kilometres from his base with only a few hundred men, and was an active privateer during the conflict. In early 1522, three Spanish ships were sighted off the southwest coast of Portugal, somewhere between the Azores and Cape St. Vincent, and Florin ordered his five-ship squadron to attack. The small Spanish fleet, under Captain Quiñones and Alonso de Ávila, was on the last leg of their journey from Havana, Cuba to Seville, Spain carrying a large gold shipment taken from Hernan Cortés' recent conquest of Mexico and was to be presented as a tribute to Charles V. It is unknown whether Florin was aware of the Spaniard's cargo, however he decided to give chase and overtook them within a few hours.

Although the Spanish responded to the raid by fortifying nearly all their major ports and cities in the Caribbean, it was only a matter of time before the rest of Europe became aware of the treasure Spain was bringing back from the New World. Besides the gold bullion, among the treasures captured by Florin included exotic animals, enameled gold and jade, ornaments, emeralds, pearls, works of art, masks in mosaic of fine stones and other rare items which were presented to Francis I.

Likes: Fencing and guns, since he's a master in the two. Florin secretly adores the lure of gold and treasure, and because of that, he's actually quite wealthy. In his secret place in his ship, the room is filled with treasures, so many that it'll shock some.
Dislikes: Many, many things.

Crush: Find out~

Other: He has a French accent.
