My name is Captain Skybeard. I am a man of many travels, a wandering soul. I was once a king, twice a father, and many times a lover. but I will always be a pirate.
Think of the marvels, what we have witnessed in our short lives. Are we so deserving of such powerful change to the face of our globe? The steam engine, parabolic capacitors, the moving image, powered flight. We are blessed. and yet we squander our gifts. May we divine clockwork from the chaos.
It should seem so strange, contrary to the perpetually circling clockwork cosmos, that I a man of no particular merit, gifted in no particular way; a seemingly talentless whelp, should have come to live the life that I have lived. I have been called a product of my times, for nothing more than paying attention to the times. Many of the stories about me are true, however a fair share are no more than tall tales. I am a renegade after all, the fact is embellishment is in my nature, I thrive on the notion that I might one day be no more than an enigma.
I speak beside myself. However in times of such devastating tragedy someone must... moreover, I must speak my peace! For most of my life neutrality has been my fiercest ally, it has served me well and guided me through the torrents of life in Her Royal Court. But no longer will I hide in the grey amidst the smokey gunfire, no longer will I deprive myself a cause. So I will fight, as I have always fought, with wit, bullets and blades. I will fight this wretched eternal queen of ours. I will fight the tyranny of the monotonous.
My name is Skybeard and this is my manifesto.
