Captain Emmanuel Hasworth has made his living on ships since he was a boy. He started out as a cabin boy because he came from an established family that could get him placed. He understood he was in a position of privilege and what that would mean for him later in life. However, he never felt like he was really all that far above the sailors working the deck.As he grew in stature and position Em remembered his early lessons of place. Working to build trust between him and his officers and crew has led to developing a code of conduct he applies to himself and those serve on his ship. This means he maintains a regime of caring and training for himself and his crew.
Captain Hasworth's ships have always been some of the best run ships with few disciplinary problems. This doesn't mean that there hasn't been any, but Hasworth has a well-seasoned crew and new hands are added expectations are clearly laid out from the beginning, and the consequences are also clear. He promotes training for all levels of his crew. The training even goes beyond how to raise a sail. This has led to some of his hands finding new positions in port, which in turn has led to better support for Hasworth and his other officers. For many this means that he is Captain Emmanuel Hasworth even when he is not on his ship.
Hasworth maintains his looks to be the captain whenever he may be viewed by one of his crew, or extended crew. This means he is rarely seen out of uniform (which includes his studded leather armor) or allow himself to be seen ruffled by a situation. He keeps himself groomed and his manner is almost always under control. It is like the man is never surprised by the situation he is in.
He is known to have friendly commentary with his crew. He respects and utilizes their knowledge, but still requires protocol to maintain discipline. This same level of personal discipline is also maintained when not on his ship. He may visit a tavern with his crew, but he would never allow himself to even become tipsy in their company.
Captain Hasworth is in his mid-fifties and is still fit. His skin is weathered from the years of being at sea, but his blue eyes shine out from under his brown and gray hair with an intense, but friendly, look. He is of average weight and works at maintaining himself. He is even known to train and teach in fighting techniques at The Flesh Golem when the ship is in port.
His wife, Clair, maintains a house in the city. They have four married daughters. And even though Em can tell you what his last manifest contained he usually has a hard time remembering how many grandchildren he now has. Clair prompted her husband to name his new ship the Sea Angel (which was approved by the merchant house he works for) as a tribute to Elinoire Whitewash because of the help she provides to sailors and their families. The Hasworths have also made contributions to maintaining the fellowship house.
