Fathom

Fathom, The Cable Cutter is one of The Wreckers.

He swims out to anchored ships at night and cuts their cables. By the time the watch notices the drift, the rocks have them. His boats close in to board what is left.

What to bring

Light boarders that heal as they fight. Medium broadsides cut them down before the boarding parties matter.

Their fleet

3 Corsair
6 War Sloop
2 Brigantine

Who they are

Fathom was a pearl diver before the Wreckers, and can stay under longer than any man on the coast. He does not fight ships. He fights anchors. His page is a list of soundings for a dozen anchorages, each one marked with the night a cable was cut, and a note at the bottom in Old Tallow's hand: "Good work. The harbour is next."

The hunt

This is a Wreckers quest: it is taken from a lead, not from a questgiver, and the lead is spent on it.
