Dumas Nakino's Profile
Click on the thumbnail to see full-sized picture
Massive Pirate, or Gentle Giant?
Dumas Nakino serves as the Quartermaster of the pirate ship, Avenger. He is originally from the planet Knegáro. Because of his massive size, he commands much respect from the Avenger's crew. He has also earned their respect, so much so that several feel that he should be first mate instead of Auri-Tang Shann. There are some, too, that feel he should have the command of his own ship, but Nakino considers it an honor to serve under a captain the likes of Madame Ching.
Inspiration for the name
I had a friend name Kino, and we used to love to talk sci-fi and comic books. (His favorite characters were Magneto and Batman.) Because of several health problems, he died. I then decided to make a character in his honor, and I gave him Kino's full African name - Nakino.
