'''Merci''' is a [[Porc#Gravehoof|Gravehoof Porc]] [[Buccaneer]] who is captain of the ''[[Bocoe]]'', portrayed by [[Coestar]] during [[The Jewel of the Dingo Isles]] campaign.

== Characteristics ==

=== Race and Class ===
He is a well respected [[Porc]] who is one of the most well-known [[Buccaneer|Buccaneers]] in the land.

=== Personality ===
Merci is a natural born leader who demands respect and admiration from his crew, especially using his fantastic mutton chops and [[Porc Skin Armor]]. He is very straightforward and always trying to think ahead, and tries to get his crew through thick and thin without a hitch. He always stays calm and collected and never lets the situation get to his head in the heat of battle. However, he does show some favoritism towards the [[Porc|Porcs]] of his group over the [[Kobold|Kobolds]].

=== History ===
At some point during his career as a pirate, Merci murdered the original captain of the ''Bocoe.'' Merci fashioned the former captain's skin into a set of armor that he uses to further intimidate his crew. After getting to know [[McCoy]], they eventually got over the hurdle of his armor creating a bond. This leads to McCoy eventually becoming his First Mate. After receiving a map from [[Nisovin]], he leads off on an adventure to the [[Dingo Isles]] to retrieve a gem. He shoves off right away and sleeps for the first 13 days of the journey. His ship suffers some heavy damage during a fight with [[Colin the Behemoth|the Behemoth]]. He is almost dragged to a watery death by one of its tentacles, while a crew member, [[Jakelad]], betrays the crew and is killed. He starts to feel the heat when on the Isles in a temple, trying to rescue puppies from the flames of a room-sized grill. The stress and flames prove to be a little too much, as he struggles to get his crew to follow his orders and get anything coordinated done. At this moment, he loses some of his authority to the possibility of the puppies dying, or of the crew being trapped in a grill.

== Notable Traits and Abilities ==

=== Weigh Anchor ===
Merci's career on the seas prepared his body physically for the task of swinging anchors. Using the strength he built up over time, he can easily swing a heavy anchor around, sending any poor sucker in his path flying.

=== Avast Ye Maties ===
He can rally his crew in a hearty cheer, giving them the energy to attack one more time for old time's sake.

=== Jolly Roger ===
Merci's striking authority comes into full effect, allowing him to bend the will of his crew to get what he wants done.

== Personal Items ==

===Treasures===

===Items===

* [[Items#Porc_Skin_Armor | Porc Skin Armor]]
* [[Items#Scimitar | Scimitar]]
* [[Items#Cutlass | Cutlass]]
* [[Items#Flintlock_Pistol | Flintlock Pistol]]
''Note: Merci's Scimitar does +2 damage to doors.''

===RP Items===
* [[Accessories#Spyglass | Spyglass]]
* [[Accessories#Blood_Flame_Lantern | Blood Flame Lantern]]
* [[Accessories#Bottle_of_Wise_Rum | Bottle of Wise Rum]]

== Fate ==
After escaping the grill of death, Merci sends McCoy to retrieve the gem while he hangs back with the rest of the crew. Afterwards, he leaves with his crew to give the gem to [[Nisovin]] and determine its worth.

==Trivia==
*Continuing on with [[Coestar|Coe's]] theme of words in foreign languages, merci means thank you in french.
*[[Kinney Boots]] and Captain Merci are implied to have a sexual affair. Kinney's coat was in Merci's room while he was "sleeping" for 13 days. This is further suggested by Kinney's enthusiasm over being Buckle Buddies with Merci.
