Anyway, it was a fun excuse to research lots of archaic words. Not only archaic words but ways in which extant words were once used differently. I tried to keep his dialogue coherent in context but I could have gone waaaay off the deep end.
Vampire's an obsessively private man and we don't get to find out a lot about him. The "Vampire" handle isn't just for giggles; he's gone to great lengths to hide his past and his identity. Even Roger Foi-Hellick doesn't know his last name. Of course in a country where your full name can be used to strike you dead, this seems like a smart way to be.
Captain Claggart just casually trying to trade his life for everyone else's there, no big deal, best character.

Pink-eyed riff-raff is a nice turn of phrase :3

Saying "howbeit fain" and "cunts" in consecutive sentences? I think he's just pink-eyed riff-raff, putting on airs. :D
Well... Claggart's done surprised me, bless him. I hope he survives this. It always hurts when I get to the end of a pile of posts. I want mooooore. Staying away for delayed gratification is a chore! I fucking love the way Vampire speaks. Pile it on! Get archaic. Test us. This is a smart book!
