Cortes is the daring captain of the Pirate Raider Saint Nazaire, a significant presence across Skylands that has gained the ire of the Sphere. He was there when the pirate rebellion was formed, taking part in the initial battles.
Acting as a guardian saint of sorts to Puerto Angel, the floating harbor town, Cortes acts everything but. He is crass, quick to point out anything that may cause harm to the town or his crew, being quick to anger. Despite this flaw, the Scottish man has a big heart, not willing to leave any defenseless soul to perish at the hands of the sphere.
