Parug was the searat bosun on the Goreleech. He was in general stupid and ill-tempered, prone to lash out against members of the lower decks. His duties as a bosun included running the crew and anchor, as well as acting as second mate. He was also in charge of the punishment of the deckhands. Along with Bullflay the slavemaster and Akkla (the ferret steersbeast who acted as first mate), Parug was among those whom the Goreleech's captain, Vilu Daskar, sought council with, even if the Sea Rogue leader was often frustrated by the rat's lack of intelligence. Parug is also described as a stolid character, and less gullible than most others aboard the ship.
