Cousin Jack #wootton 4

It sounds like a bandit who’s a relative of a pirate. He cruises the canal in his trusty narrowboat looking for other boats to raid and plunder. He has to do this in the dead of night when there’s no-one else around as his getaway vehicle isn’t exactly a speedy one, unless he’s somehow souped it up and he’s found a quicker way to operate canal locks. He’s also got the option of jumping off his boat to tackle pedestrians and cyclists on the towpath, and often has the opportunity to rob them then jump back on the boat and pull away from the shore unless they choose to jump in and chase him, in which case he’s armed with his cutlass. He could still have a parrot, though it’s more likely to be a cat since they haven’t got to jump far to return to land, though it would make better defence opportunities to train a swan.
