Captain Redhand

John Waverider is the Captain of the Starchaser, a Minos trading vessel, one of the Sea Kings. The Starchaser first arrived in Amber's Harbor along with the others of the Minos fleet.

Captain Redhand, as John is known, showed up in Minos with the Starchaser some thirty years ago, having acquired her under dubious circumstances. The son of a Sea King himself, his crew follows him without question.

Following the incidents during which Amber's docks were destroyed, the Starchaser left Amber and put out to sea. After being seen at various ports around the Golden Circle, she has only recently returned to Amber and sails under her Captain's banner, a red hand on a black field. Being no longer a direct part of the Minos Fleet, his purposes in Amber remain as yet unclear.

NPC Note: John's First Mate is an energetic blonde-haired woman named Robyn. She remains with the ship and runs it directly in John's absence.
