Moonshine

Son of Barbarro and Trofie Wrathe, and nephew to Molucco and Porfirio, Moonshine is the sole prince in the pirate dynasty, and heir to the Wrathe fortune. He is fiercly loyal to his parents and to the honour of the Wrathe name, but both his sense of entitlement and default sneer have a way of rubbing people up the wrong way. Not that he cares much. Frankly, he’s more likely to spend his time listening to his beloved thrash shanty than worrying what people think of him!

 
The pirate prince is often seen flanked by two sizeable bodyguards and dressed in his trademark leather jacket and drainpipe jeans. He’s tall and as thin as a mast; with chewed fingernails and dark, lank hair that partially obscurs the scar that cuts along his cheekbone. His weapon of choice is the starfish shuriken, which he wields with a viciousness that is matched only by his lack of accuracy.

 
A chance encounter with Connor Tempest beside The Dirty Dolphin’s jukebox in Calle del Marinero signals the beginning of a bitter rivalry that deepens the more their lives inevitably collide. During a pirate raid on the Sunset Fort, Moonshine’s lack of swordmanship and scruples place the mission in serious jeopardy. As his life is threatened, it is his adversary Connor, who comes to his rescue…a fact both of them are desperate to forget.
