A thin, gap-toothed weasel, Slitfang was the first mate aboard the Seascab. He was armed with a cutlass and a dagger and, along with Grubbage the bosun and Tazzin the assassin knife-thrower, belonged to Captain Plugg Firetail's inner circle of command. Slitfang was unique among vermin second-in-commands because of his fierce loyalty to Plugg. He openly stood up to Kurda in defense of his Captain twice, although both times Slitfang could have quite easily taken the opportunity to be rid of both Kurda and Plugg, and usurp the position of Captain of the Seascab.
