During The Corsair Curse, the player uncovers that the curse that has befallen the crew was actually Ithoi poisoning the crew's dinner, due to Captain Tock's consideration of firing him and replacing his position as second-in-command with Francois, Arsen's brother, as they no longer need a navigator now that they have settled in the Corsair Cove. By poisoning the crew and faking the curse, Ithoi hoped that his knowledge of curses would allow him to stay on the crew. When the player proves to Captain Tock the curse was orchestrated by Ithoi, he orders the player to kill him.
