The Pirate is a role added in the Pirate Role patch, which was developed using Nephi's preliminary Pirate patch as a base.
Pirates are a melee focused class that may have trouble finding a good weapon. Their first sacrifice gift is the Marauder's Map, and their crowning gift is an artifact cutlass (scimitar), Reaver. Their default pet is either a parrot or a monkey.
In the original patch, only humans can be Pirates. They can be neutral or chaotic.
In dNetHack, Elves, Drow, and Incantifiers can also be Pirates. Slash'EM Extended and SlashTHEM unrestrict all race and alignment combinations.

The Pirate's special spell is cause fear. Spell success is determined by intelligence.
Both Slash'EM Extended and dNetHack also allow the pirate to advance firearms to Expert.

Item names
Like the Corsair, the Pirate has alternate names for items that follow a Pirate theme.
Intrinsics
Pirates gain the following intrinsics at these experience levels:
Quest
The pirate quest sees the Pirate traveling from the pirate stronghold of Tortuga to Shipwreck Island to retrieve the Treasury of Proteus from Blackbeard's Ghost. The Treasury will periodically polymorph its contents while carried. In addition, it grants magic resistance. It's described as so cursed, it sucks in lesser curses like a black hole (it blocks curses, similar to what Magicbane does).
Gods
- Lawful: the Lord
- Neutral: the deep blue sea
- Chaotic: the Devil
Rank titles
The status line shows you to be one of the following ranks when you reach the specified experience level:
- XL 1-2: Landlubber
- XL 3-5: Swabbie
- XL 6-9: Cutthroat
- XL 10-13: Bosun
- XL 14-17: Second Mate
- XL 18-21: First Mate
- XL 22-25: Captain
- XL 26-29: Pirate Lord
- XL 30: Dread Pirate
Artifact generation
In dNetHack and SpliceHack, artifacts generate 4 times as often as for other roles when you're a Pirate. Normally, each random item on the floor has a 5% chance of becoming an artifact if an artifact of that base type exists, but pirates increase that chance to 20%. However, they can only ever receive one sacrifice gift - the Marauder's Map.
