Gentleman Mallard

Gentleman Mallard is a famed pirate lord, most well-known for leading the pirates of Mos Le'Harmless against the fleet of Rabid Jack in the Battle of the Archipelago. Mallard, despite his important role in the battle, does not appear in-game or during any of the cutscenes during Rocking Out, and details of his life are very few and unclear.

History
Mallard, as far as anyone knows, has been a pirate for much of his life, eventually becoming one of the most respected in the Eastern Sea. Apparently, he is very honourable, apparantly willing to take even the most evil enemy's surrender.

The Battle of Mos Le'Harmless
In the recent Fifth Age, the pirate Rabid Jack betrayed his brethren on Mos Le'Harmless and attacked the port, attempting to gain complete control over the flow of ships within the Eastern Sea. Launching an attack from his largest ship, The Scourge, Jack nearly gained the port, but was eventually repelled by Mallard and the rest of the island's pirate inhabitants.

Jack, renaming his ship "This Albatross" as he fled, vowed he would gain his revenge. Sailing to the Cursed Archipelago in the far southern reaches of the sea, Jack began to rally a massive fleet of ships, with which he attacked any vessel he could find. This angered the Customs and Exise Office, who began a massive anti-pirating campaign that threatened the very survival of most pirates.

Realizing they could not survive the constant attacks of the Customs Office and Jack's fleet, the inhabitants of Mos Le'Harmless rallied behind Gentleman Mallard, who led them to the Cursed Archipelago to eliminate Jack once and for all.

The Battle of the Archipelago
Despite his important role in the battle, Mallard is not known to have been present in the attack on This Albatross. The pirates that did manage to board Jack's ship, however, eventually managed to surround Jack, killing his bosun and most of his crew. Cap'n Izzy No-Beard, the first to reach Jack, stated that although Mallard would accept Jack's surrender, the rest of the captains would not, and that he would be executed along with his men. Rather than surrender, though, Jack hurled himself overboard, seemingly committing suicide.

After the battle ended, the pirates of Mos Le'Harmless performed a mass-execution of Jack's entire fleet. After this, Mallard led them away from the archipelago, where few have since set foot.

What has become of Gentleman Mallard is unknown. It is likely, however, that he will appear in a future installment of the pirate quest series.
