Sangre Drake

Sangre Drake is a demon pirate who hosts Black Bard on his ship in the Black Bard story.

Appearance
He short hair is wild is appearance, with trimmed facial hair as well. Sangre wears an eyepatch over his right eye as well as a knee length jacket and sturdy boots coming up to his shins.

Personality
Boisterous; he has a trespasser on his ship quickly tied up and asks his crew what they do to such people. He then demands to know who asked the crew their opinion. Sangre then reverses his hostility on Black Bard seeing that he too has a fake eye like himself and allows him to join the continuing festivities. Members of his crew describe him as a failure of a human being but a success as a killing machine, he is not called a demon for nothing. He considers his biggest treasure to be his crew.

Story
Sangre is onboard his ship and rhetorically replies "why not" when asked by a crew member if they should allow a bard on board. He then introduces himself as the demon pirate and has Black Bard tied up. Rousing his crew further, he wants to know how they deal with trespassers. Receiving their exhilarated answers that trespassers should be executed, Sangre fires his guns in the air and commands to know who asked their opinions.

With Black Bard being like him in that they both have an eye they cannot see out of, he frees him for everyone to return to the celebrations revolving around their return voyage.

He chooses to settle the matter of Black Bard's harp being taken with a card and then pistol shooting game.

For winning, and performing, Sangre rewards Black Bard with something he sees no value in, namely an empty bottle featuring a star and moon motif of the old Crimson Empire.

Black Bard
At first hostile to the bard's arrival, Sangre has him tied up then frees him upon noticing the similarity they have. He then happily describes them both as two peas in a pod. He likes Black Bard's answer of taking part in a pistol duel in order to regain his harp. It is Black Bard who discovers that Sangre Drake has been deceased for quite some time aboard his ship that had been drifting at sea.
