Background
Two hundreds years ago before The First War, the House of Hawk a noble family from Kul Tiras was sentenced to death for a false accusation from the rest of the noble houses, the Grand Admiral had no other choice than sentenced the whole family to death for Treason but the head of the House of Hawk at the time, Baron Edward Hawk had another idea.
His closest man, Renold Wellingboot gathered a few volunteers and mercenaries sprung him out from the Jail in Boralus, escaping by commendering one of Kul Tiras Navy's proud vessals called "The Seawind" but Baron Edward Hawk renamed the ship to The Avenger and with his family and the volunteers they sailed away from Kul Tiras... starting their new lives as Pirates.
The Avenger had sailed proud ever since. It as always been the duty of the firstborn son to go on with the leagcy of their ancestors as they started to forget their heritage.
Hundred years before The First War, The House of Hawk was granted the position among the lines of Pirate Lords. Their authority grew over the years at the 4th september, five years before The First War, Antiles J. Hawk was born.
When The First War stared it, The Avenger was at the South Seas earning their living but when The Second War started as Antiles started to grow., they participated in battles against The Horde with their Pirate allies, The Horde masacrated the Pirates and The Avenger was one of the few ships who survived.
When The Second War ended, they lived "normally" again as Antiles grew up at the age of ten, was started to get experimented on by his father, Athrón. The experiments was cruel which gave Antiles nightmares for life as it involved the dark arts of demonology and necromancy, but one day there was an experiment when Antiles was thirteen which he had to convert with a Succubuss in bed. The results how ever were that Antiles were immune to the succubuss' seduction, fought her at every turn as she had her way with him.
Athrón was enraged and amazed that Antiles had developed a immune system against Demonic Influence and Dark Arts.
When Antiles was fifteen he got kidnapped while he slept and he waked up aboard a ship as he planned his escape, he met a boy around the same age who had the name Blaxs Zann. They got caught when they tried to escape and Antiles had a experience that he could never imagined but Blaxs and Antiles succeeded to escape as they left a blood bath with the responsible for their kidnapped. Antiles returned to his ship, Blaxs went to the woods of Lordaeron, not to be seen again.
When Antiles return to ship, he found out that Kul Tiras has boarded the ship. Antiles himself was captured and learned that his father had disappeared and his mother was dead but that didn't stop him from co-operating with the rest of the crew to reclaim the ship along to become a Captain and as an obvious choice he picked Warwelde as his First Mate.
For ten years they plundered and pillaged the Great Sea as they followed Orc Ships to Kalimdor with out to be spotted by them. Antiles took his crew as they came ashore they meet dangerous foes and during The Third War they hold their stand in The Barrens. They meet the Goblins after the battle of Mount Hyjal which together with them they built Ratchet, Antiles' new home.
Now, today The Avenger is known as the most advanced ship on Azeroth along being Privateers now instead of Pirates in service of Marshal Eric Lightblade as now they've chosen a side with The Alliance in the coming war with The Horde.
