Country Of Origin: Telma
A former naval officer of the Royal Telma Fleet, Gavriil Agnidis decided to leave his position and lead his crew under a pirates banner after growing increasingly disillusioned by the rampant corruption in the Navy. Gavriil would become famous for his flashy naval raids and would eventually grow a reputation as the most fearsome pirate on the seas. The Telma government would eventually issue a large bounty on Gavriil's as a way of publicly denounce him to prevent people from assuming that Gavrill was a part of the Telma Navy. Eventually Admiral Fotis Petriades would be tasked with bringing Gavriil to justice. After five years of running free Fire Beard would eventually be led into a naval trap involving a gold transport ship. While Fotis would put up an impressive fight Gavrill would just barely escape the trap after losing 75% of his crew. Deciding that the risk was starting to outweigh the reward Gavriil would begin to recruit other pirates to settle Fire Beard's Pirate Commune in the year 2971RH. 15 years later and Fire Beard's Pirate Commune now encompasses 12 islands and remains a place free of outside government interference. Fotis however never moved on from the shame of losing to Gavriil and would continue to chase Gavriil for some time. To this day Fire Beard continues to sail the seas but the Pirate Commune has slowed down on its raids since The Raven Order began its invasion and naval blockade of Ilyran Thalas. Fire Beard has ordered all pirates to return home and defend their island from attackers until the naval blockade has lifted. In the fall of 2990 Firebeard was captured by the Telma Navy by his own accord to keep Torchbearer assassins at bay. During this time The Freebirds attempted to reach him just as he was planning to escape himself. Following him, The Freebirds learned of Fire Beard's real history and motivations. Seeing the increase in corruption in the country Fire Beard elected to desert and take documents with him implicating the President of Telma as part of the Torchbearers. At this point the Telma government would label Fire Beard as a pirate and attempt to capture him while he was attacking a Torchbearer ship. While the official story was that the ship was a gold transport, in reality it was carrying a sword known as the Divinity Slayer. In order to further their own goals of increased military spending and force the Telma President intentionally botched the operation to capture Fire Beard.
Fire Beard suggested that the two groups work together for now to retrieve both the documents and Divinity Slayer so he could give them to the Freebirds hoping that they would be able to put it to good use in the fight against the Torchbearers. After upholding his end of the promise Emauri challenged him to a duel which Fire Beard accepted. Emauri bested Fire Beard but Min would quietly revive him. Later Fire Beard would be approached by a shadowy wolf who guided him to Newport to aid the Freebirds in their assault on The King in White's Palace. After helping them he invited Kuppo to travel on his ship and the group took off for new horizons.
