Rakkatak Ann

"'Rakkatak is the shipwright. It's his job to keep Gallant seaworthy. Remy hates him with a burning passion, and has been trying to smoke him out for years. But he's good at his job, so Remy can't justify getting rid of him, even though he's shit.' -Jamis, describing members of the crew to Ludovica."Rakkatak is the Gallant's shipwright. He joined the crew four years before the start of the story. He demands 300 Denari as extra payment for his resources and work on the ship's rot problem, or Ludo's hand in marriage.

Personality
An unpleasant man liked by very few. He was disowned by his family after his gluttonous spending got him in trouble, particularly after trying to arrange an orgy with family funds. His reputation has been destroyed to the point where Remy Bonnaire could afford him as a personal shipwright on the Gallant. He prides himself as being the only one able to keep the Gallant sea worthy, and is not above using that to manipulate and blackmail the Gallant's captain.

He fancies himself a lady's man, and insisted when they first met that Remy engage him to Remy's sister Ludovica so that he could regain his status, bragging that Remy's sister would be easily seduced by him. When Remy refuses, he shows a typically unseen desperation by slamming the door shut before Remy can leave, hinting at how dangerous Rakkatak could be. He quickly switches to a more amicable demeanor, allowing Remy to buy his services.
