Ever since ancient times, there has been a never ending struggle between pirates and ninjas. The two sides have fought a bloody battle lasting many centuries. Casualties were high. So high that in fact it became hard for the pirates and ninjas to find one another. Thus a cease fire was called so that both sides might rebuild their numbers so that they might enter battle once more.
Ninjas, being solitary creatures, decided to take refuge in hidden villages all across the planet. Pirates, being of equal solitary status, took refuge on hidden islands across the tropics. One such island contained the pirate town of Wolfsbane, ruled over by the Lord Pirate Wolf-Bob. A large man who had overcome the curse of the Werewolf by always staying in his wolf's state.
"Papa! Papa!" A small girl with a tail runs up to the Pirate.
"A just in time, my little cub! I want you to meet someone." He gestures over to a thin man whose face was covered in a black cloth. "This is the crew's newest member. Jengi Sonotaninja Gotsen. Which is to long of a name, so I've decided to call him the Black Pirate Jen. Very spooky and sneaky name. We'll start a rumor that he only stricks at night and is never seen or heard. Yes... That'll do quite nicely." Wolf-Bob strocked his fuzzy face with his long claws.
Jengi bowed towards the young girl. "It is a pleasure to meet you."
"Now now! No need to be so formal!" Laughed Wolf-Bob as he slapped Jengi across the back, "Now now. For important news, little cub. We are going to go a pillaging again and will not be back for sometime. Hoarding is a living. I'll see you before the next full moon."
"Papa! Will you bring me a pretty dress this time?"
"Of course! Now where's my little good luck howl?"
"AaaaaOOOOOO!!!"
"HAHAHA! There's my little girl! You've almost got it!"
And with that he left. The little girl's last memory of him is of his tail wagging happily black and forth and the fearfulness she felt of the man in black walking next to him. Some time passed after that. One moon went by, then another, and another, until a full year passed and came around again. The young girl grew into a young woman who spent every night at the beach waiting for news of her father.
"He's never coming, is he."
"No. He was betrayed and murdered."
The young woman turned around to see a person hidden beneath a white cloak. "My father is not dead! Who are you?!"
"You're father is dead. A young man on his crew was a spy, a ninja in disguise. This man waited until a moonless night and struck you're father down with his own blade."
"Who?! Who is this traitor?"
"Jengi Gotsen."
"Then I have no choice. I will become the strongest pirate in the seven seas, avenge my father, and finish what my ancestors started by destroying all of the ninjas!"
"It is wise that you do so." Said the figure before disappearing in a cloud of white smoke.
"Okay okay okay... I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do now."

And thus begins the tale of The Dread Pirate Cat-Stache gin.
