Bio: He was born to a German Noble and a French Maid. Almost ashamed in a way of his son's lineage, he decided to take him in as his own and 'shun' the mother. In his time with the Nobles he became well educated, skilled with the Violin and a true gentleman, sporting the best etiquette anyone has seen around. He always wandered who his mother was, but it wasn't until he had become a true man he learned of his mother. Enraged by what he was denied, he ransacked his father's mansion, stealing many valuable things, took his horse and rode for France. By pure chance he found his mother, who from a combination of depression, stress and the ill con'ditions of the poor at this time period in France, she had fallen very ill. Using much of his money to find a doctor, nothing succeeded and eventually she passed away in his arms, at only 38. Now stricken with pure grief and rage,John travelled to The Netherlands fearing his father would find him, then he used what little money he had left to buy a ship and supplies, gather some other hopefuls and set sail for the 'New World' to restart again...

"You meen you came from europe across the atlantic and here America?" (atlantic is actually greenish just a fun fact )
The man grunts. Interpretar says "The chief would like you to stay for awhile" "Learn our ways" "And us yours"

The interpreter takes you to a large hut and says "This your house for your crew"
