looks like a love gone sour. so the best solution would be to drench it with wine... or is it?

this is a character for a rpg game which mixes 7th Sea with Furry Pirates. he is shown the day after he found out the love of his life wasn't interested in him at all, but instead of his biggest rival. next day he will find out said rival managed to pin a huge crime onto him, so he had to flee his home and the comfort of a noblelion, and became a pirate instead...
