Pirate Queen Mindanao

The second Pirate Queen of the Surge Isles, Mindanao is remembered as a ruthless, but effective, leader of the SurgeWings. She took power in 335AS, almost fifty years after Pirate Queen Aleutian died. Mindanao formed the Sirens in the first year of her reign, and by 337AS, all of her rivals had been removed. She ruled the Isles until 349AS, when her only legitimate child, Okhotsk, killed her. It would be three decades before another Pirate Queen would take command of the Sirens and the SurgeWings.

Appearance
Records from visiting nobles and rivals describe Mindanao as an altogether unremarkable SurgeWing. Not overly large or small, not incredibly impressive in strength or beauty. Only her bearing betrays her as the dragon who would take up the mantle of the first Pirate Queen; throughout her life Mindanao maintained a fierce, proud posture.

As she aged she grew larger. Her face was covered in dozens of long whiskers that dragged along the ground when she walked. Mindanao is remembered as being very ill in her later years, unable to walk on her own and nearly blind.

Many dragons question if Okhotsk truly murdered her mother, or simply was asked by her to give her a quick end.

Personality
Ruthless, cruel, ambitious, violent, and driven; all words that work very well to describe Mindanao's personality. She is remembered as an aggressive Pirate Queen, with no reservations about using violence to get her way.

Many times it is recorded that she ordered the wholesale slaughter of towns and cities in the SurgeWing Islands that refused to accept her as Pirate Queen.

Mindanao's relationship with her children was... entirely absent. She had all of them locked up in a remote part of her palace, keeping them prisoners within the keep and letting her servants raise and care for them. Any who were too ambitious were quickly silenced by the Sirens, and most of the dragonets lived in fear of their mother. Okhotsk herself only met her mother in the last year of her life.
