"Phantom Thief" Chateau,[2] born Black Mauritius,[3] is the captain of the Chateau Pirates.
The early years of his life were filled with various hardships as he was born a nameless child of Cairo. The nameless toddler grew into a teenager lost in a world where he found himself escaping his hellish life to pursue a journey of his own. Still, without enough actual experience, the dark skinned teenager was 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.
Escoffier freed the slave and offered a choice. He renamed the orphan Chateau Noir 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 disappearance of Escoffier and the claiming of his properties by the mysterious Joseph Jacobs, Chateau embarked on an adventure to find his own legacy.
Chateau formed the Chateau Pirates after saving several future members from both the marines and several Underworld operatives. His association with such dangerous foes as well as his capacity for battle granted him a 
100,000,000 bounty only several weeks into a life of piracy. The highest initial bounty gifted to a pirate within the Blue Wave generation of Supernovas.[4] He has defeated pirates with higher bounties[5], infiltrated a Marine facility[6], and defeated several powerful marines.[7] He is considered a trickster and curse upon the seas.
