Just in Time for June! June is here and it’s time party it up for the Summer! Let’s get out of school and into Skull Island . . . or maybe even Valencia if we’re lucky! That’s right, June looks to be the month where we will jump ahead into a new update for Pirate101. To those ends, we hope you were able to take advantage of our never before seen promotion with the Valencian Steed Mount. The promotion is now over, and the mounts will be delivered into players’ gift boxes sometime during the first week of June.



Read on for more fun and insights from the past month.

Rogue's Gallery: Dead Mike We’re getting closer to finishing off the back stories for our Presidio Five. You might say we’ve fleshed them out a bit . . . or in the case of Dead Mike, lost a bit of flesh in the process? Either way, this month’s spotlight is shining on Dead Mike, a “former pirate” with a tragic past.







“Subject: Dead Mike

Home: Port Regal

Weapon of Choice: Sabre

Occupation: former pirate



There was a time when Dead Mike was simply known as Mike, for he still walked among the living. Mike's parents were farmers from Marleybone, who left their homestead in Albion to try and build a new life for themselves in Skull Island as part of the Port Regal Colony. Mike's dad, also named Mike, became a fisherman, and roamed the skyway chasing elusive schools of gar.



Mike tried his best to help his father in his trade, but was only a fair sailor - he had no head for navigation. One trip out he got so lost he ended up beached on the massive jungle island behind Puerto Mico. Weeks later Mike returned to Port Royal, dazed and weak with hunger. Nobody knows what happened to him on that island (indeed, he had only a vague idea himself), but he returned with a sedate, morose attitude and a strange skull-shaped tattoo over his heart.



When the Napoleguinic Wars came, Mike was (like so many others) drafted into naval service. It turned out his poor skills at navigation were balanced by a true knack for gunnery, a talent his fishing career had never called for. A nasty battle saw Mike cast overboard, clinging for dear life to a piece of floating debris. That was when Avery found him. He had need of a good gunner, and Mike was a pirate ever since.



He served on many crews, and finally found himself sailing with Pirate Jenny and her dashing husband. That voyage ended in tragedy as mutineers turned on the crew. Mike threw himself in front of a musket volley aimed at Jenny, and died instantly.



The next thing he knew, Mike awoke on a distant shore. His tattoo had vanished, and somehow he had risen as one of the undead. Unlike most walking corpses, Mike still remembered his name, and most of his old life. He also had no desire to eat anyone's brains. He made a vow to avenge Pirate jenny (and himself), and retuned to piracy. His fearsome appearance and unpleasant smell made it difficult for him to find captains that would tolerate him, and as the years went on Mike found himself growing more and more morose. When his shipmates betrayed him and turned him over to the Monquistadors, Mike figured his quest for revenge was doomed. He settled down to rot in his cell at the Presidio.



Little did he know that a chance encounter would change his life (or whatever) forever... These pirates and more await you when you play for free at Pirate101.com.”
