The Vampirates was established on the 9th of May, 2009 under the captaincy of Captain Dragonitez who was a former senior officer in the Armada of Apocalypse. The crew is managed by a council of 5 internal crew members. Namely, the captain himself, the first mate, the lieutenant, the treasurer and the quartermaster. The importance of crew unity and loyalty to the flag is always on the top priority. The Vampirates are committed and dedicated in whatever they do. The crew pillages are often conducted by officers which benefits the whole crew, a testimony to the crew core value, unity.
