Biography[]
Season One[]
Paxton survived the initial fight during the Boarding of the Andromache, when the pirates of the Walrus attempted to take the ship's twelve pounder cannons by force. However, a stalemate occurred after the remainder of the Andromache crew retreated into a nigh impenetrable bunker deep belowdecks.
After the pirates' plan to send Lars belowdecks coated in soot to throw a smoke grenade into the bunker, creating a diversion that would allow the pirates to breach the door, failed, the crew gathered to hear Gates' new plan. Gates suggested that they have four men dangle over the side of the ship on ropes and use axes and augers to create a hole that would allow them to get a charge through, which would create enough chaos and disruption to allow the rest of the crew to breach the main door. Logan asks Gates if this plan worked and Gates answers that he only saw the plan tried. When no one volunteers, Flint orders Paxton, Bobby, Dooley and Logan to go on the ropes. The latter three follow the order, but Logan argues that the plan is suicide, and asks Billy Bones to back him up. Gates then punches Logan, and reminds everyone that in battle, the captain's orders are the law, as per the Articles. At that moment, a pirate notices a rag sticking out of a hole in the Andromache's hull, and Flint realizes it is the slaves in the hold trying to signal them, thus sparing Paxton, Bobby, Dooley and Logan from their suicide mission.
It is unknown of Paxton is one of the roughly 30 survivors of the crew after the disastrous Battle in Division Bay.
