Noir Chateau

"Slavery is the lowest form of service. Having people tend to your every need out of fear and indignity is like ruling with intimidation and ruthlessness."

- Chateau Black.

Chateau Black is the captain of the Chateau Pirates.

Born a nameless child of Alabasta Kingdom, the early years of his life was filled with various hardships. As a teenager lost in the world, he found himself escaping his hellish life to pursue a journey of his own. Still, without enough actual experience, the dark skinned teenager found himself captured by several slave traders. It was when he was brought by the prominent hotelier known as Escoffier Ramsay, that the young adult knew where the heaven's wanted to guide him. The legendary owner of some of the world's most exquisite locations, who sustained a public opinion against slavery, stated that his interested in the nameless orphan was sparked by the boy's sensitive nature and ability to connect with those around him. Even the slave traders found it impossible to truly dehumanize him. And such, Escoffier freed the slave and offered a choice. He renamed the orphan Chateau Black and took him as his protégé. The surname meant to inspire a sense of wealth within his spirit. He trained Chateau in the art of hard work and self-love. Passing on his sacred rules of hospitality as well as the idea that wealth is not dependent on one's physical riches.

After the unexpected execution of Escoffier and the claiming of his properties by the Celestial Dragon's, Chateau embarked on an adventure to find his own legacy.

"You don't need any money to be wealthy. What matters is that everyone else thinks you have it!!"

- The legendary Hotelier, Escoffier Ramsay

Chateau Black is a tall, imposing man from lands where the sun continuously kisses the earth. His dark skin is rich and smooth, a rare feature across the seas upon which he sails. His ebony complexion is complimented by sharp, golden eyes that are compared to the coins used in his trade. Chateau keeps his body clean of tattoos besides the mark of the dragon and wounds brought upon by the slave traders from his earlier years. However, he has a massive scar that cross his forehead which is colored with a deeper ink. His hair is naturally black. However, Chateau dyes it purple in order to sustain his new identity.

Unlike other pirates, Chateau Black is different from those who spend countless years at sea. He prefers to wear dressier clothes which often consist of a white dress shirt, black pants and a black or navy blazer. Albeit the formal attire, it is comprised of a fabric which is both breathable and capable of stretching. Allowing him access to his usual amount of maneuverability without restraint. His dress shoes are padded internally for comfortability but lined with metal externally. He wears a ring on his left finger and his log pose on his right wrist.
