Game Master Groups
Marceline Guild: These are a group of highly-rated pirates and friendly buccaneers led by Captain Walter, their Guildmaster. They often host pirate events and celebrations, but also will appear to back the pirates during invasions or encounters with GM enemies.They also host a weekly crew up event every Friday and Saturday.

EITC Black Guard: These are the game's East India Trading Company role-played characters and are most famous for their pirate interrogations in 2009, around the time of Port Royal's destruction and rebuilding. However, they still show up, even during Jolly Roger's Invasions. (There was a particular face-off recently between Captain Walter and the EITC Black Guard's leader Captain Ellison Shaw). To prevent disruptive players from causing problems at events, the Black Guard has the power to stun or Knock Out a troublesome pirate.

Casa De Muertos: This Game Master guild has 5 known members, led by Captain Ezekiel Rott. They are servants of Jolly Roger, having been granted their lives in exchange for helping him remove amulets of protection from Port Royal, leaving it open to Jolly Roger's Invasions.

Ghosts: Other characters recently introduced are spirits like the widowed Constance Sorrow, and her wrongly accused husband John Moses, the traitorous Captain Cromwell and helpful Old Sooty. All are part of a few Lore Chapters and Cromwell has been known for giving pirates gold Codes. Like other GM characters, their role was to present players with a story but also to help as part of the new Invasion feature.

Royal Navy: This group of Game Masters are members of the Royal Navy. They have appeared at Buccaneer Boot Camp events, trying to disrupt meetings of pirates around the island of Port Royal.

Other GM ghosts have made appearance with the discovery of Raven's Cove. The spirits of those who died in the vicious fighting between Jolly Roger's army and the East India Black Guard roam the decimated island. Many of them seem unaware of their own passing like Loretta Jenkins or Pete Abred and the maid Priscilla Campbell.

I want to be a Game Master. How do I join one of their guilds?
Only Disney staff members can be Game Masters and be a part of guilds like the Marceline Guild or the Casa de Muertos. Players, no matter what they claim, cannot be Game Masters. Only Disney staff members play the roles of in-game Game Masters and are marked with the special logo of a flaming skull and torch above their heads so they can be easily identified. Any Pirate who attempts to impersonate a Disney staff member may have his/her account placed on hold.

How do I meet a Game Master?
