- "This is Viscount, Lord Reginald Marmaduke Bracegirdle-Penwallow, the EITC's Director of African Affairs."
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Lord Penwallow."
"Thank you, Captain Sparrow, and I must say the pleasure is all mine. It's an honor to meet the captain who so nearly broke the record for sailing the Triangle—and on the vessel's maiden voyage as an EITC ship, too! Well done, well done, Captain Sparrow!" - ―Cutler Beckett, Jack Sparrow and Reginald Marmaduke Bracegirdle-Penwallow

Biography[]
Little is known of Reginald Marmaduke Bracegirdle-Penwallow's early life other than he became a member of the British Empire. He served under the title of Lord, Viscount, and the Director of African Affairs for the East India Trading Company. Lord Penwallow was a good friend to Cutler Beckett, another EITC Director for West Africa, as well as also had many influential friends on the court of King George I of Great Britain. At some point in his life, he purchased a plantation on the island of New Avalon in the Bahamas.
Personality and traits[]
Penwallow was held in high regard by the EITC top management, as well as nobles in high places. Unlike many other high level EITC officials, he was honest in his dealings, if not particularly insightful or creative. He also seemed to show some care for his subordinates, agreeing to pay a ransom for young Cutler Beckett, a new and unproven employee. He was also a devoted family man. He always carried ivory miniatures of his wife, the Lady Hortense, and his children, Anna and Frederick—plus Anna's children, Saly, Marvin, and Christopher. He never indulged in alcoholic beverages to the point of embarrassing himself, nor did he pinch an attractive housemaid or leered at any of the young women he was introduced to.
Equipment and skills[]
Penwalow was a shrewd man, capable of adding large columns of figures in his head, and deriving percentages without pen and paper. Long service in the East India Trading Company and loyalty to the Crown earned him one of the top positions in the Company and several noble titles.
As a British gentleman, Penwallow owned a gold-topped walking stick which came in very handy, especially when he would stagger on land after a long voyage at sea, not being used to the surface not rocking anymore.
