First allow me to direct you to this friendly reminder concerning Lieutenant Daniel Gillette. Now let it be known that this man is considered the undisputed heavyweight champion of both his division and Lieutenant Groves’ division, and has only once been truly challenged by anyone. The legendary drinking challenge of Groves and Gibbs will likely go down in sailor history as a sure fable, but that is a whole other story.

Seeing as his reputation keeps anyone from challenging him while on duty, Daniel plays his games during shore leave against unsuspecting sailors at various pubs. Indeed, men of his division often pub crawl along with him to enjoy the spectacle and even throw their own money in just to encourage the hapless they swindle to throw down far more than they should and thus, lose spectacularly.

The men are abundantly supportive of Daniel’s games, as the lieutenant’s proceeds from these matters are always split equally and sent toward any widows made during the latest of seafaring adventures. ( He has, on lower paying evenings, added from his own pocket as well, though few know of this. )

His men also on a low key level fear him, for Daniel Gillette has never once awakened from these events with a hangover. Never even once. He has no sympathy for men with raging headaches induced by alcohol for he has never experienced one and that, in and of itself, is terrifying.
