Bass fled his old life and ended up aboard a pirate ship. Invoking the ire of the crew aboard, Bass feared his new life was over until unexpectedly an old green goblin halted his crewmates from their assault on Bass.

One day the Privateers left her stranded at the Dumal Tradeport, where she became acquainted with Oscar and his crew when Bass smelled the meal she began to cook as she decided what to do. For Ray, no convincing was needed for her to decide to become the chef and final member of Oscar's crew.

Sturgeon

Sturgeon is a white skinned Goblin from the Noctura clan. He stands about six feet and has lanky arms and short muscular legs. His long ears are like funnels that pick up even the quietest sounds around him, without the ability to see this is how Sturgeon compensates. Enabling him to see with sound. Sturgeon goes shirtless and barefoot only wearing baggy pants and a leather belt. A rope with a grappling hook lies draped around his chest and he fights with a scimitar as his primary weapon.

Sturgeon is from the Noctura clan of goblins who've evolved sonar hearing to compensate for the eyesight they lost due to adapting to the pitch black of the cave systems in their mountain homes. Normally Noctura do not venture into the outside world but that changed for Sturgeon one day when he ventured outside the tunnels attempting to locate a strange noise he heard. It wasn't long before Sturgeons lack of sight led him to fall down a steep hole in the ground he couldn't climb out of. Sturgeon stayed there for three days before Oscar and his crew of four goblin crewmates found him on accident. After a good long laugh at the trouble Sturgeon had literally walked into, Oscar and his crew fished him out of the hole and advised him to join their crew if he wanted to survive. Three years later, Sturgeon serves as the lead sail maintainer and lookout in the crows nest of Oscars pirate crew.
