Things are finally looking good for Captain Frey and his crew. The Ketty Jay has …
‘On reflection,’ Crake said to Frey, as they huddled behind an upturned table, ‘this wasn’t one of your better plans.’
Darian Frey is down on his luck. He can barely keep his squabbling crew fed …
He was bulky, with hair sticking out everywhere, and he had offensively bad teeth in all shapes, sizes and angles. When Pinn rudely commented on them, Ucke informed the group that they were actualy a false set. Dentures. He'd made them himself from teeth he'd collected from a multitude of bar brawls.
