The heroic Sinbad has been through much since returning home four years ago. Although he still doesn't know about what took place to him in his years away from the known world, he knows his future is unwritten, and waiting to be filled. Being captain hasn't been easy as Sinbad has suffered much, and had to make plenty of tough choices. He has dedicated his beard to his brother, wanting to look like the man that he most admires.
