Captain Rackam is a character in Fable: The Balverine Order. He is the captain of a ship docked in the city of Seaside. His ship is bound for the town of Shorewall, but they have cargo to pick up in the town of Blackridge, so he agrees to take Thomas Kirkman and James Skelton there. Later, when Thomas and James venture down to the bottom of the ship and it is revealed that he is a pirate, Rackam attempts to kill them with a pistol. They are saved by James' dog who knocks the pistol out of his hands. After a small struggle, the boys escape to the top of the deck. Rackam follows with the crew, but the ship comes under attack by a Kraken. Rackam is grabbed by two tentacles belonging to the Kraken. The tentacles then twist in opposite directions, ripping him in half.

Trivia[]

  • He has a very odd personality. At the beginning, when the boys first meet him, he is slightly funny and plays a joke on them, scaring them by talking about the kraken. During the trip, however, he is serious and slightly cold, almost throwing James' dog overboard.
  • His boat has a crew of about 24 sailors.
  • His name is likely a reference to Jack Rackham, otherwise known as Calico Jack or Red Rackham, an English pirate captain operating in the Bahamas during the early 18th century.
