Kit Gerardo, also known as The Hawk, is one of Frances's most daring privateers, rescues Rouge from a Spanish ship. She is also a pirate, working to restore the fortune the French took from her. When Kit is captured by the governor of Cartagena, Luis del Toro, Rouge demands that he be hanged for piracy. Only one person knows it, but Kit is the governor's son.

| Quotes |
Captain Christopher (Kit) Gerardo aka 'The Hawk':
The red-haired girl who escaped from your ship to mine... what do you know of her? Captain Luis del Toro: Only that she was newly arrived at Marie Galante. The other prisoners didn't know much about her. Did you find her entertaining? Bernardo Díaz: Sure, she *shot* him. [the crew men laugh] Captain Luis del Toro: Never expect a wildcat to show gratitude, Captain. See more » |
