{{Netbook-canon}}
"'''Dread pirate captain'''" '''Jacques l'Effête''' is a character first introduced in the [[:Category:Chibiloft|Chibiloft]] comics of [[Quoth the Raven Issue 30]].

==Background==
During the Quoth the Raven #30 comics, Jacques l'Effête (who insists on referring to himself as a "''dread pirate captain''" makes three attempts to attack and rob the passengers of the [[Dead Reckoning (Ship)|Dead Reckoning]]. Unfortunately for him, the passengers in this case turn out to be the [[Heroes of Chibiloft|Chibiloft Crew]]. Each time, he is fairly easily defeated and knocked off the ship into [[shark]]-infested waters or blown up with a [[fireball]], but manages to return twice for another go in spite of progressively more severe injuries. He insists on continuing to wear a hat with what appear to be ostrich<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrich</ref> feathers on it for each attack, and wields a [[rapier]].

==Weaknesses==
Overconfidence. Jacques l'Effête is too quick to assume he has the advantage over others, variously through claiming the high ground, having drawn his sword, and his relative youth. He is quickly disabused of his delusions in each case. While he might have more success if he attacked together with a crew, he is always seen swinging into battle alone. {{Spec|Although it is possible that he had been working together with [[Arcael]], [[D'Vaal]], the [[Levkarest Lycanthrope]], the [[Toothless Nosferatu]] and [[Urtica]] for some time, having attacked and sunk the ships sent out by [[Ivana Boritsi (Chibiloft)|Ivana Boritsi]]. Presumably, he provided the [[villain|villains]] with transport after the ships they attacked were sunk.}}

==Strengths==
It is undeniable that Jacques l'Effête has considerable acrobatic skills, being able to swing from one ship onto another, even when he is in a full-body cast. Presumably, he is also an uncommonly strong swimmer with a high pain threshold, capable of fighting off hungry sharks - though not without taking wounds. He is clearly highly determined, being willing to leap into battle several times in spite of injuries that would leave others bedridden for weeks if not months. In addition, he must be a capable sailor, being capable of keeping up with the ''Dead Reckoning'' - again, in spite of the aforementioned injuries.

==Statistics==
(Speculative)
[[Evil]] [[male]] [[:Category:Chi-Folken|chi-folken]] [[Rogue]] 6 or higher / Dread Pirate<ref>https://dndtools.net/classes/dread-pirate/</ref> ?
