Protagonists
  • Old Nick, an old sailor. Despite his sickly appearance, his is very fit. A cunning character, he uses his wits and trickery to overcome his enemies, most of the time.[4]
  • Blackbeard, Old Nick's main foe. Though dreaded by many, he is dumb by nature.[4]
  • Grandpa, the grandpa of Blackbeard. He has a tendency to slap his grandson. He relies on the use of a walking stick to enable him to walk.[4]
  • Sebastian, a harpooner. He was discovered in a wrecked ship by Old Nick.[4]
