Geoffrey Thorp

Biography
As expected by his father, long lost Post Captain Theodore Thorp, Geoffrey joined the Royal Navy as a young Cadet in Mars 1696. This, actually against his own will as he in his dreams would become a court musician or composer.

Not as bright as his sister Elisabeth, Geoffrey has more of an artistic trait. This showed up soon after getting a violin at his 8th birthday. Though blood and death is part of his working day nowadays, his crew often hears remarkable tones coming out of his cabin late in the evenings, and they do enjoy it. As a leader he is an analythical one that seldom rushes into battle without a well thought plan. He cares for his crew and dislike severe punishment of them. When under command, he is loyal and dutiful.
