Sneed Barlow

Sneed Barlow is a former pirate, and is now the owner and self-proclaimed mayor of Sneed's Hole, a town which he created after successfully pulling off what many pirates believe to be the greatest crime of all time. Although Sneed no longer takes part in piracy directly, he runs a decently sized crime organization. Sneed can be found in his tavern, the Rusty Cutlass, which he constructed from the wreck of his ship of the same name.

History
During Sneed's heyday, he was by far the most infamous and most feared pirate in the Strait of Klival. Although he was a small man, he was known for his prowess in ship combat and tactics. He is credited with pioneering the idea of privateering, and was among the first pirates to strike a formal deal of the form that is widely seen today. The National Library in Citadel records that Sneed robbed more than 200 ships in his time, and that his peak combined bounty was over 200,000 Antirean gryphons.

Myths
There are many myths surrounding Sneed. Some are true, some are not. They include:
 * The feathers on his hat are from a giant parrot that gave Sneed his gift for piracy
 * Sneed is the son of a goblin and the old queen (NAME TBD) of Antiris.
 * Sneed has been married more times than years he's been alive
 * Sneed technically owns the oceans since no one else ever claimed them
 * Sneed's left eye is constantly bloodshot and strange, but his right eye seems fine. Some say Sneed lost his right eye in combat, but won it back in a game of Kraken (a popular dice game) with the King of the Deep.
