William Hemphill

Biography
William's life was and is still a bit of an adventure. Some good, some bad. Ever since he was born he wanted to serve His Majesty in the Royal Navy, just like his father and brother. He and his family trained day in and day out consistently. Training after training, no sleeping really just training for little William. He wanted to enlist so bad, but he hasn't had the smoothest life. When he was 7 years of age, he awoke from a loud noise downstairs, he ran down stairs to find his father laying there with a man standing in front of him pointing a low quality flintlock pistol at his face, while other men surrounded him. The man pointing the gun asked him to come with them or there will be dire consequences. Williams father shouted no, as my brother and mother rushed down stairs to watch this tragic event occur. Then the man shouted. "MEN!" the men surrounding Williams father shouted. "YES CAPTAIN?!" As a reply. Then the man instructed them to take Williams father. They all nodded, then two picked up the legs, and 2 more picked up the arms, while the other men began to walk out the door while the Captain still stood there looking at little William. He says to the child, "Your father is not what you think he is boy, He is a Pirate. And once a Pirate, there is no going back. Your father is foolish boy. Do not make the same mistake he did, You will thank me one day." Then William's brother shouted at the Captain and took a sword and began sword fighting with the evil looking man. The man shouted, "Foolish boy! Don't do anything you would regret!" Then the man hit Williams brother with the hilt of his cutlass. Williams brother fell on his back while the evil man looked at the child as he escaped out the door. William rushed down stairs and got on his knees next to his brother asking if he is alright, the brother nodded and started to get up. His brother gets on one knee to speak to William. He says, "Will, we have to find that man, his crew, his plunder, and our father, and rob every cent he has every owned. William nodded. "But it must take time, we will have to do it the safe way, you see. Through His Majesty's Royal Navy, alright?" William nodded. William and his brother Jonathan trained for many years until William was able to enlist. Ever since then they have had each other's backs for their whole lives and are still fighting together. They have vowed that they will find the mysterious Pirate and rob everything that dreadful man has and get their father back. William and Jonathan has been serving together in the St. George Squadron ever since, making their way up the rankings.
