Description

Slag is a ruthless pirate who craves grog, women, treasure, and violence. He is unnecessarily violent and selfish, admitting to killing a man over a cheeseburger as a way to uphold his image as "Scourge of Polaris". He admitted to have no qualms cheating to best his opponents, as demonstrated by him backstabbing Darkwater without a fight, but hypocritically accused Ratchet of it after losing. Slag had a difficult relationship with his crew and Pete. Though his crew were loyal to the point of following his orders unquestionably, at least one pirate mentioned starting a mutiny due to low-level pirates having no medical, dental, or 401k plan, while Rusty Pete received employer paid benefits and stock options. Though Slag and Pete are close, with him enjoying these benefits, always being around Slag, and the two singing pirate chanties together, Slag often hurls verbal abuse at Pete, something Pete does not fight back against. Overall, them remaining close and going onto host a radio show together suggests a genuine friendship, unlike the one Slag had with Darkwater, in which Darkwater had many suspicions about Slag one day being involved in a mutiny. Slag had a number of hobbies outside of piracy. He would sometimes mention these as to his title "Scourge of Polaris", such as "winner of Zordoom Prison's Semi-Annual Beauty Pageant", "runner-up in the Susie Sweets Homemade Butterscotch competition", "runner-up in last year's "Galactic Idol", and "runner-up in last year's hot dog eating contest". He was also known as a fine ballroom dancer. Slag's hobby of beatboxing eventually allowed him to quit piracy all together.
