2. ...and I'd be prepared to bet that the ship’s Master himself has got some infidel’s blood in him, in spite of his Spanish appearance. That’s what he is, an Andalusian Moor, or a Moor’s bastard.

3. As Rescator sat down he had noticed the way he threw his cloak back and the naturally confident and graceful movement of his hand as it came to rest, as if by accident, on the silver butt of his long pistol.

8. You speak of him with too much reverence. In my eyes, he's merely a pirate. It is true that people in the colonies aren't too particular about those who drop anchor in their waters, provided they come with their hands full of gold. I was warmed about that. But it would be utterly disastrous if this man, whether he be pirate or gentleman, becomes too interested in my, because, and I am telling you this in confidence, and to you alone..."

9. He lures women by weird spells. There are orgies in his palace. It seems the Archbishop of Toulouse denounced him publicly from the pulpit, and spoke if the scandal and the Evil One. And that heathen of a groom who told me of it last night in my kitchen roared with laughter, and said that afer that sermon the Comte de Peyrac gave orders to his men to thrash the Archbishop's pages and porters, and that there had been battles right in the cathedral. Can you imagine such outragers taking place here? And all this gold he owns, where does he get it? His parents left him nothing but debts and mortgaged lands. He is a gentleman who never pays court to the King or to the fread lords. They say that when Monsieur d'Orléans, the Guvernor of Languedoc, came to Toulouse, the Comte refused to bend his knee before him on the pretext that this fatigued him, and when Monsieur pointed out that he might obtain great benefices for him in hugh places, the Comte de Peyrac answered that... (...) That stretching out his arm wouldn't make his leg less short. Such insolence!

14. They also say he’s dumb, having had his tongue cut out and his nostrils slit. But who knows? Those who think him a Moor or a Spanish Moor say that he i sone of the victims of the Inquisition. On the other hand, those who think he’s a Spaniard abuse the Moors of mutilating him. In any case he can’t be very good looking, for no one can boast of having seen him unmasked.
