Oi there, so ye want to know more about ye a loner of a pirate do ya?  Well shiver me timbers and tickle me pink!!, Yar be mighty glad ye ask ! You see when me be born me name be given as Ingjerd Björkdotter. my mother was a wrench by the name of Ingrid and my father, Henrik, was a Nordic sailor who sailed the high seas. I was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands in the 12 month in the year of 1698, lived with my mother til she passed in 1703 in the streets of Amsterdam at the hands of a murderer.

I was soon sent off to live with my father and his family in Sweden where I grew up went to school and got a small education at best. I returned to my homeland of Holland in the year of 1715 at 17 years of Age. I took up the habits of my mother to make ends met and soon met a sailor by the name of Eric the Offal. This Eric a captain of Pirate ship he said he was, oh how intriguing and fun this sounded. For weeks this captain came to me asking of small favors, before he asked "would ye be kind and join us on our ship?" " Me a Pirate, but a women I am" I responded "no matter" he said "on the nightmare eye ye be welcome". "why fancy ye" I responded "glad to be aboard ye crew I be"

So months passed and turned to a year and I feared the dearest Capt'n forgotten about me ye aboard he had . I came topside to the deck saw the capt'n drunk and standing on top of the wheel. He jumped back and asked "who ye be?". I told him I was Ingjerd the Deckhand he picked up back a year in Amsterdam and asked ye aboard ye ship. I told him "yar took care of ye rodent problem and plugged ye hole in this old scooter you call a ship". While my coat and leggings where made of fur the captain there said from this day on I shall be called Mouse, swabby and head engineer of the Nightmare Eye.

So 8 years pass aboard the Eye, and in the year of 1723 the captain and his weary crew sail down to Tortuga. It was here we met up with the Captain Bad Ivan and his crew of The Buccaneers of the Coast and their ship the Black Swan's Revenge. After spending time with this crew I decided to sail with the B.O.T.C aboard the B.S.R and have Bad Ivan as my new captain.

Now in the year of 1723 I be at the age of 25 I sail the seven seas with my head held high. I accepted Christ and talk everyday to ye crew and hopefully soon others will follow. A Christian Pirate you ask? Why yes indeed a growing trend on the seas it seems.

I have earned my place among the crew and shown I am not to be reckoned with ! My father I have killed long ago in a fight to the death when his ship we stole. The drinking I gave up long ago and the sea I love til the day I part this world. Don't think for a moment I am shy and silent, for when I get worked up I turn into a riot. Murder I have committed but only to save me hide, and a murders mark I wear until the day I die. Maybe someday when I grow old I can retire to die in Madagascar and worry no more.

Do I love being a pirate? why yes I do and being a deckhand is fine by me. Long ago in foreign ports, Ingjerd Björkdotter, died and Mouse, The Dutchmen I have become!

So this is who I be, and happy to sail the seven seas I am!!!
