Before he was a sailor, a pirate, a gunner, he was a big brother; a skinny Spanish kid from a home with too many children and too little food; and life was not easy, but it was simple.

Malcolm, at age 9 or 10, and baby sister Maria. He has like five siblings. Spanish Catholics ala the 1800s, y'know? I think he's the oldest or second oldest, but I haven't really finalized all that.

*15 years later, everything is a lot more complicated, Malcolm's a little taller and a lot stronger, but he dresses pretty much the same. Hah.

    I love little bits like this- particularly the way you did make him look skinny and 15 but it's clearly Malcolm as well. His face is perfectly innocent too.
