===== Frances Conbay ===== Frances Conbay is the Boatswain (boss of the deckhands) aboard [[Gear:The Steadfast]]. He is second in command and is in charge when the Captain goes ashore or is incapacitated. **Tactics**: During combat, Frances is a classic leader and will use his innate Boatswain's Leadership to it's maximum potential, holding the crewmember's together as an untrained force. He directs attacks using Commandars Call and if things turn against them, takes a quick tour of his forces using Bo's'n's Tap to rally them one more time.
