The '''pirate brother''' is a [[monster]] added in the [[Pirate|Pirate role patch]]. The pirate brother is the [[Pirate]] [[quest guardian]].

Their main distinction from most other quest guardians (with the exception of the [[thug]]s in the [[Rogue quest]]) is that they [[likes gold|like gold]], and are therefore [[Monster starting inventory|likely to be generated carrying]] [[zorkmid|some]].

==Encyclopedia entry==

{{encyclopedia|
The Brethren or Brethren of the Coast were a loose
coalition of pirates and privateers commonly known as
buccaneers and active in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and
Gulf of Mexico.

Based primarily on the island of Tortuga off the coast
of Haiti and in the city of Port Royal on the island of
Jamaica, the original Brethren were mostly French
Huguenot and British Protestants, but their ranks were
joined by other adventurers of various nationalities
including Spaniards, and even African sailors, as well
as escaped slaves and outlaws of various sovereigns.

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.

-The '''pirate brother''' is a [[monster]] added in the [[Pirate|Pirate role patch]]. The pirate brother is the [[Pirate]] [[quest guardian]].
+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&mdash;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&ndash;unable to compete effectively with slave labor, enamored of easy riches, or acting out of angst&ndash;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.
-Their main distinction from most other quest guardians (with the exception of the [[thug]]s in the [[Rogue quest]]) is that they [[likes gold|like gold]], and are therefore [[Monster starting inventory|likely to be generated carrying]] [[zorkmid|some]].
+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.
-In addition to gold, each pirate brother is generated with a cutlass ([[scimitar]]), [[leather armor]], and [[high boots]].
