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 Slash'EM Extended, the pirate can also advance firearms to Expert, and starts with a pistol and a random quantity of bullets.
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 and is so cursed it sucks in lesser curses like a black hole, blocking curses much like Magicbane does.
Pirate names for items
Like the Samurai, the Pirate will know common items by special names, in this case, following a nautical theme:
The patch treats the cutlass as a kind of scimitar. In real life, the cutlass is usually a much shorter sword than the scimitar, though both usually have conspicuously curved blades. Both are also related to the saber--the scimitar through the Persian shamshir and Turkish kilij, which were probably influenced by cavalry sabers used by the Byzantine Empire--but NetHack treats the scimitar/cutlass and saber as distinct weapons. NetHack is not real life.
