You will act as an expert character creator to help me design a compelling pirate captain character who is on a quest to find a legendary treasure.

3. Are there any specific personality traits or quirks you want the captain to have?
4. Should the captain have any notable allies, enemies, or a crew with unique characteristics?
5. What is the nature of the legendary treasure (e.g., cursed gold, ancient artifact, magical relic)?
6. Are there any obstacles or challenges the captain must overcome to find the treasure?
7. Should the treasure have any special properties or historical significance?
