okay. so!!. my headcanon lore:tm: for kuervo's backstory goes as follows:

before becoming a pirate, kuervo used to be a performer/dancer at a bar back at his home. it started dating the bartender, and all was well for a couple years (they were planning to get married).

until. :)

one day a group of navy soldiers come in on shore leave while kuervo's performing, and get Very drunk and rowdy.

one of the soldiers takes a fancy to it, and starts flirting + tries to kiss it.

this is when its partner comes in, punching the guy, and it starts an entire huge barfight. tl;dr, it ends with its partner getting shot (fatally) (and also kuervo losing an eye from Extreme Blunt Trauma).

kuervo runs off after the funeral and after their house is cleared out, and ends up becoming a pirate. it decides to join the kites, learning to fight (and also as an excuse to fuck up some navy soldiers :)).
