Sir Arthur Pendragon

""Allow me to introduce myself. Sir Arthur Pendragon at your service. Captain of the Blackwyche, though I’m afraid she and I have both seen better days.""

- Sir Arthur Pendragon

Sir Arthur Pendragon is the Captain of the Blackwyche, which is Shipwrecked at Shipwreck Bay.

Background
According to his journal, Pendragon was once a prince of an unknown kingdom. During his time in the Sea of Thieves, he was given the Sword of Souls by Madame Olivia and was considered the "Champion" of the Order of Souls. During one of his quests, Pendragon fought with Greymarrow who sealed Pendragon's soul in a painting on his ship, the Blackwyche.

The Seabound Soul
During The Seabound Soul Tall Tale, player Crews will find Pendragon released from a cursed painting of his likeness in the Captain's Quarters of his ship Blackwyche thanks to a certain Stranger who freed him with a Ritual. With his Sword of Souls (given to him by the Order of Souls) and Enchanted Lantern, Pendragon offers the player the chance to retrace the steps and release the souls of three other cursed Captains. The Tall Tale sees Player Crews doing just that by finding each of the Captain's Skulls imprisoning the cursed souls and releasing them.

These three Captain's are: Captain Martha Jane, Captain Randal Stone and a third mystery Captain who was supposedly imprisoned on a Ship called the Ashen Dragon. This turns out to be Captain Flameheart Senior, with the Ashen Dragon his funeral pyre, not his prison.

Heart of Fire
During the Heart of Fire Tall Tale, player Crews will once again join Pendragon to locate Stitcher Jim and Flameheart with the aid of Grace Morrow. Pendragon claims that it was Stitcher Jim who released him from the cursed Painting and it was Jim who planned the release of Captain Flameheart. He also states that Jim has cursed the souls of his remaining Blackwyche Crew away, into Stitcher’s Chest of Rage. The player is tasked with finding Jim and Flameheart's Lair. Once there, Jim will get burned by Flameheart, leaving the Blackwyche Cursed Chest behind. The Player Crews then deliver the Chest back to Pendragon on the shore so that he can finally set the rest of his cursed crew free.
