Staelwyrn
warns the ex-pirates here are still rogues who respect strength.
Some believe the name of the Missing Member hints at a violent habit of its captain. The captain tends to skillfully 'decommission' her male victims.
Captain Rhoswen was born in a village in western La Noscea. She left it on her fifteenth nameday. She was running from her father, a violent drunk and a creep.
Rhoswen still sees the first leader of the Sirens as a second mother. That leader's example is why she still holds on to the old ways of the pirates.
The Sanguine Sirens are a pirate crew made up only of women. The crew was born of defiance, a refusal to obey. It also came from a wish to take as much power and fortune as male pirates.
In small talk, O'kalkaya warns you to be careful what you say around Cap'n Rhoswen. The last man who wasn't is 'a member no more, if ye catch me drift'.
According to the Encyclopaedia Eorzea, the Sanguine Sirens are said to have done badly under Rhoswen. Rhoswen is the third Captain of the Sirens.
The title bends a line by Congreve: 'Music has charms to soothe a savage breast'. People often quote it wrongly as 'savage beast'. Here, the line is aimed at a pirate captain.
