| Captain Harlock |

| QUOTE |
Captain Harlock![]() Captain of the space pirate ship Arcadia, approximately twenty-eight years of age. Harlock feels disillusioned with the earth and his people, and has left to seek his destiny in the Sea of Stars (what we less bombastic folks call "space"). He has not forsaken his home, nor completely lost hope in humanity, he merely seeks a higher standard. Those who choose to accompany him aboard the Arcadia are bound by no oath beyond the promise to fight for their own beliefs. His priorities lie in personal honor and duty to his conscience above any sense of prescribed duty to the State; an Objectivist or an Anarchist, depending on your point of view. While an historical pirate fought only for personal wealth, Harlock's status as a pirate is earned by his defiance of the system. Rock on, man! he grew up in Heiligenstadt, Austria, where he met Maya, the woman who may have been his wife . In spite of all his efforts, Harlock always remains unwelcome on earth, but continues to struggle for his world's safety regardless, and invariably returns to his vigil even after securing earth's victory over its invaders. http://www.cornponeflicks.org/harlock/pirates.html |

| It represents sacrifice. It symbolizes the price of fighting the good fight and living on one's own terms. It is the cost of freedom and defiance, a fact which comes across again and again. |
