He's not.... but he's not pissed off yet, trust me tha't when thibg get fun.

The Pirate King: If you're following the Traitor comic a few things won't make sense if you miss this. Silver is the Pirate King, this title cannot be earned it's inherited. One person every generation is born with the potential to gain the power of the Pirate King. The Pirate King is usually the most feared capitain on the seas. Silver, however, never wanted to be a capitain or any other higher up, as it was, "too much resposiblity for my tastes" acording to him

if I get the chance to rewrite Silver's backstory I'll post it for those who may be interested.
