Captain Abelard

The as yet nameless Captain is the skipper of the Stockholm airship which carried Duke Strinbeck, Duke Oublenmach, and Zola to Mechanicsburg. Little is known about him, but he's not happy with his passengers, his mission, or his ship (a fine vessel, but a bit on the pink side for his tastes). He is probably not working for the Knights of Jove on any permanent basis. He certainly isn't fond of the ones he's met.

Understandably, he does not like people waving guns around on his zeppelin. He especially does not like people then threatening his men with them. Getting talked down to is just too much for one day. So when Duke Strinbeck indulged in all three, he was, to put it politely, relieved of his command. The Captain is now running his own ship again, and he wants it somewhere else. Anywhere but Mechanicsburg.

Possibly he, like his ship, is a Swede.
