New Characters Trailer for Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew Out Now!

Afia Manicato – The Navigator

Role: Navigator – Handles maps and navigation on board.

Chooses entry points and makes moment to moment decisions in missions. She is the latest addition to my merry crew.

Powers: Blink – By drawing the sword from her chest, she can unhinge herself from space-time and instantly teleport from one place to another. After she teleports, she must quickly replace the sword or her body will become unstable.

She can also use Time Freeze to freeze a person in space-time for a few seconds with a snap of her fingers. The target remains completely unaware while this is happening, and continues what they are doing once the effect is over. She was first introduced during the announcement of Shadow Gambit.

Mr. Mercury – The Shipwright

Nationality: Scottish

Role: Shipwright – My caretaker. You can always see him scurrying around, hammering some ghost nails back in place or scrubbing the deck.

Summons his pet fish Sir Reginald to distract enemies. He was first introduced during the announcement of Shadow Gambit.

Gaëlle le Bris – The Master Cannoness

Nationality: Breton (French)

Role: Cannoness – Whatever weapons and cannons need tending to on deck, Gaëlle is here to fix, fire and maintain them.

Powers: “Ar Kanol” – Which is Breton for “the cannon”. Her magical cannon can shoot any (un)willing person as far as the eye can see, knocking them – and whoever she’s aiming at – out cold.

Her Kanol comes equipped with an evenly magical rope which can grapple and suck in friends in the Kanol.

She was first introduced during the announcement of Shadow Gambit.
