Meaning no disrespect to anyone, but Dave was quite emphatic that Harchar was not a 'pirate'; he always described Harchar as "an honest, seafaring merchant". Dave managed to hornswoggle Phil with his "enhanced wealth management" schemes, and I -looking on with awe - would be able to describe Harchar and his merry crew as 'buccaneers' but never as mere 'pirates'. Blackbeard was an amateur compared to Dave's Harchar.
Dave was very well-versed in Technicolor 'swashbucklers', and I can only suggest a book that he suggested to me: George Macdonald Frasier's "The Pyrates", which was pretty much the Operations Manual for him.
"pirate"? Tcha, sirrah, and sink me for a lubber, else! You don't know the half of it.
Steve Lortz played Firebeard, of course. (He had the beard for it, so saving on make-up costs.) When he wasn't being a particularly demented dwarf, of course.
