* TheSocialDarwinist: Dr. Windsor is the [[RuthlessModernPirates pirate tribe]]'s liaison with the modern world. Having stumbled upon them years ago, Windsor admired their [[APirate400YearsTooLate primitive brutality]] and formed a partnership with them, sending vacationing boats towards the tribe, resulting in [[RapePillageAndBurn men and women being butchered and raped,]] and [[ChildSoldiers children kidnapped and brainwashed into joining the tribe]]. Afterwards, Windsor helps cover the disappearances up and takes some of the spoils for himself. He sends hero Blair Maynard and his son Justin to that fate, and later mocks Blair about his [[MadeASlave slavery and impending death]] and how Justin will be made the next pirate captain, describing the tribe as an "anthropologist's dream" and a Petri dish.

When forcibly recruited into the pirates, he sees this as opportunity to live out his gunslinger fantasies. He is actually an excellent shot, but starts to crack under pressure after he kills his first man.
