TEAM ROLE: pre-game sabotage/ball-carrier/thief

Jimbo Shortbarrow is one of the few Half-Masters who never sailed on the Death's Head... Cap'n Sandflea and the Plank hired him because he's one of the lightest-fingered thieves in town. They needed someone to sneak into the enemy locker room, steal playbooks, drug the water cooler, and generally wreak havoc. That's where Jimbo comes in.

A genial figure with a waxed mustache, Jimbo fancies himself a gentleman, and while he enjoys playing for the Half-Masters, he's not thrilled with some of the rougher elements in the locker room. Chief among them is Sallie Seagrass, the team's other pre-game saboteur. Sallie was the lover of Garry Humbleham, the team's previous top thief and saboteur... when Humbleham was stomped on by an ogre six months ago, Shortbarrow was hired to fill his duties. Sallie thinks Jimbo should be fulfilling ALL his duties. But Sallie's grotesque appearance, unsubtle tactics and obvious infatuation with Jimbo (et al.) disgust the talented thief.

It's not clear that Jimbo has any interest in taking to the seas. He may even quit the team if they return to piracy... at the very least, he's certainly not going to sail.

PLAYER RULE: In addition to carrying the ball, Jimbo fancies himself a surgical striker on defense, able to blitz in and attack the ballcarrier in a cage. If he's within range, Jimbo will always be the man to attempt this play -- and he will acquire skills designed to improve his luck in the role.
