A pirate captain of the Inner Sea, Torius Vin makes a living raiding wealthy merchant ships with his crew of loyal buccaneers. Few things matter more to Captain Torius than ill-gotten gold—but one of those is Celeste, his beautiful snake-bodied navigator. When a crafty courtesan offers the pirate crew a chance at the heist of a lifetime, it's time for both man and naga to hoist the black flag and lead the Stargazer's crew to fame and fortune. But will stealing the legendary Star of Thumen chart the corsairs a course to untold riches—or send them all to a watery grave?
From award-winning author Chris A. Jackson comes a fantastical new adventure of high-seas combat and romance set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

“Pirates Honor” is a new Pathfinder Tale Fantasy fiction tale set in the Inner Sea of Golarion. But it’s really a great seafaring pirate novel with a few interesting fantasy touches thrown in. Those who like great swashbuckling naval fiction, readers of Fantasy fiction or those who like adventures set in the world of their favorite RPG all will find lots to enjoy between the pages of this fun fantasy novel. It’s not just for RPGers.
Altho this is Chris Jackson’s first Pathfinder novel, his feet are pretty wet: “The first three Scimitar Seas Novels—Scimitar Moon, Scimitar Sun and Scimitar’s Heir—won sequential Gold Medals in the ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Awards for 2009, 2010 and 2011 in the science fiction/fantasy category. Scimitar Moon and Scimitar Sun were also finalists in the fantasy category for the USA Book News Best Books 2010 and 2011 Awards”
This book has two great things going for it: fascinating and original characters, and a triple-cross twist worthy of “The Sting”.
Tortios Vin is no run-of-the mill Pirate captain, he is as well known for his sense of honor, and not just the normal “honor among thieves’. The Captain prefers to loot that which was stolen, and won’t have anything to do with the local lucrative slave trade. Still, he’s a great swashbuckler & swordsman and not above flouting the law. However, the good Captain has a secret- his hidden and forbidden love, his very unusual & lovely navigator (more would spoil it).
Loads of action, a forbidden love, swashbuckling swordfights, a fantastic scam, just a little magic, and plenty of salt air in your face- what more could a reader ask?
1)what level would Torius Vin and Celeste (Moon Naga) be?
2)what is Torius class? Pirate or Swasbuckler prestige (he never "sneak attack") or just a plain old fighter?
3) could not find any stat on a Moon Naga in the PFSRD site. Any ide/suggestion?

I am planning on incorporating them to this AP.
Lunar naga appear in Bestiary 3 (CR 6) Here is the link to the official PRD entry for them. It appears Celeste is a plain old lunar naga, she doesn't do much outside of the stat block. I would put Torius in the lvl 5-7 range as well, with leadership feat. As far as class goes.... pretty much any of the martial classes would work.

I created Torius as a 6th level fighter (corsair) You can find the archetype on the Pathfinder SRD webpage Here's the link: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/fighter/archetypes/paizo---fig hter-archetypes/corsair
Celeste is advanced one level in sorcerer above the Bestiary 3 stats for Lunar Naga, so she gets a couple more spells. They cast as 5th, and I needed her to cast as 6th... though I don't remember why...
I loved this book. I have read 5 of the Pathfinder Tales, and while I generally liked them, I didn't love them. This one I love, great story, great characters, and it flows nicely.
I can't wait for the next installment of the crew of the stargazer.
