A {{varquestmon|pirate brother|Pirate|guardian|SpliceHack}} and [[User:Chris|ChrisANG's]] [[Pirate]] role [[patch]]. In SpliceHack, they are known as '''pirate crewmates''', with "pirate brother" and "'''pirate sister'''" being gendered titles. They are [[strong]] and [[omnivorous]] [[chaotic]] [[Human (monster attribute)|humans]] that can be seen via [[infravision]], and similar to [[thug]]s they are [[gold lover]]s that may [[collect items]].

A pirate brother has two [[weapon attack]]s.

==Generation==
Pirate brothers are not randomly generated, and are always created peaceful. They are not a valid genocide target, and are not a valid polymorph form except for [[doppelganger]]s encountered by [[role]]s other than [[Pirate/SpliceHack|Pirates]] in the Pirate patch and in SpliceHack.

Eight pirate brothers are generated within the ship of the Pirate quest home level during level creation: five are placed in each of the 2x2 quarters on the north side, while three are placed within the room where [[Mayor Cummerbund]] awaits.

Pirate brothers are always generated with a [[scimitar]], [[leather armor]] and a pair of [[high boots]].

==Origin==
{{Wikipedia|Brethren of the Coast}}
The pirate brother monsters are based on the Brethren of the Coast (or simply the Brethren), a loose coalition of pirates and buccaneers that were active in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. They mostly operated in two locations: the island of Tortuga off the coast of Haiti and in the city of Port Royal on the island of Jamaica. The Brethren were a syndicate of captains with letters of marque and reprisal who regulated their privateering enterprises within the community of privateers and with their outside benefactors. They were primarily private individual merchant mariners of Protestant background, usually of English and French origin.

The brethren were originally refugees who settled in Hispaniola, mostly French Huguenots and British Protestants. They would supply wares to visiting ships in exchange for guns and ammunition, an activity which led to the Spanish driving them out. These former refugees lived in something akin to a republic. Despite their origins their ranks swelled as they were joined by other adventurers of various nationalities, including Spaniards and African sailors as well as escaped slaves and outlaws of various sovereigns. The English had their heyday around the 1650s, when they seized Tortuga from the Spanish, and these privateers were issued letters of marque to defend the island from the Spanish and raid Catholic French and Spanish shipping.

Their decline can be attributed to various factors: The peace between William of Orange and Spain decreased the incentive in privateering, and The Treaty of Madrid in 1670 resulted in the English renouncing privateering in the Caribbean and Jamaica being recognised as an English possession by the Spanish crown—in addition, the demographic changes which featured a rise in slave labor in the Caribbean islands was a compounding factor. Most maritime families moved to the mainland colonies of the future United States or to their home countries, while a few–unable to compete effectively with slave labor, enamored of easy riches, or acting out of angst–continued to maintain the Brethren of the Coasts as a purely criminal organization which preyed upon all civilian maritime shipping without the legal endorsement of any government.

This second era of the Brethren began the so-called Golden Age of Piracy and brigandage which affected the Caribbean until socioeconomic and military changes of the late 17th and early 18th century finally caused its decline. Many pirates made their journeys there, and one of the most famous was Alexandre Exquemelin. In keeping with their Protestant and mostly common-law heritage, the Brethren were governed by codes of conduct that favored legislative decision-making, hierarchical command authority, individual rights, and equitable division of revenues. Henry Morgan, one of the most well-known Brethren, is usually credited with codifying its organization.
