Unlike most of the team, Marky Wheatfield is not from a seafaring background. Unlike virtually ALL of the team, he's not even from the coast. Marky grew up in The Acres, a small and peaceful farming region in southeastern Orymm. He yearned for adventure, and crossed the land to find himself in Ryder's Cove. With no experience manning a ship, he couldn't get a job with a merchant vessel -- and the fundamentally innocent Marky had no taste for piracy. He compromised by joining the Half-Masters, who (at the very least) don't actively engage in piracy, and don't expect him to know how sails work either.

PLAYER RULE: Marky will leave the team if and when they buy their boat and return to the sea.
