Jack Aubrey is from the Patrick O'Brian novels that begin with Master and Commander, right? I haven't read those either, but I vaguely remember the movie with Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany.
Jack Aubrey spent some time as a privateer ... not a pirate but pretty close. I suggest replacing Nemo with Horatio Hornblower.
But since I don't remember Nemo ever intentionally hunting down other ships to rob them, I decided to see him more like an embittered rebel than a pirate.
(Nice series of quizzes otherwise)
