CAPTAIN ABEL – a KOALA nicknamed Abel the Outrageous – is a scourge of the high seas. Not the bloodthirsty buccaneer of legend, Abel is more intrigued with high adventure and finding long lost treasure, rather than robbing sea-going vessels. Having grown up in Australia to high-brow parents, Abel was an oddity to them. As a child, he liked to read action tales of pirates and treasures.
Everyone scoffed at the idea of a respectable Koala, becoming a marauding sea-going ruffian. Abel’s first act of rebellion was becoming a surfer rather than going to college (or as his parents put it, a beach bum). Later, he drifted from place to place until he began to remember his dreams from childhood. Spending everything he had, Abel bought a big wreck of a ship no one thought was sea-worthy. However, the Koala lucks out when he comes across Ranga, who is an incredible carpenter. In no time at all, The Flying Crutchman is up and running to the shock of many. Abel and Ranga set sail and never looked back.
Abel was a bit of a beach- bum surfer-dude who loved soaking in rays and catching gnarly waves. He still loves surfing, but his duty to his crew comes before all else. His peg leg doubles as a detachable pipe he uses to smoke his ‘medicine’.
