Along the way he became captured by space pirates, but he has a plan to escape with the help of one of the pirates.Captain Bluebeard - The leader of the band of pirates that serves aboard the starship Kraken.

He rebuilt himself into a pirate, the only man he believed could get his revenge on Arlinda.Gent - The Kraken’s engineer.

Although he suggests Darien be hanged in their first meeting, he has since befriended the boy and is currently training him on the engineering of the Kraken. He stepped into Darien’s duel with Fantasia and saved his life. Cassandra - The daughter of Darien’s friend Tom. Bluebeard’s crew raided her home.
