Intent on drowning my life in plunder, women, and being a terror on the high seas. What would my paladin code look like? I'd imagine a modified Calistrian code: the angry hedonist, demanding honesty of themselves and denying to all others. Less focused on revenge, more focused on freedom.
What are your thoughts? What code would an anti-paladin of Besmara hold true to?
A really good example of a Besmaran antipaladin would probably be Black Bart Roberts as portrayed in Assassin's Creed IV.
Game spoilers:
He drew up very specific codes dictating acceptable behavior for his crew, but as he pointed out to Ed Kenway, his code said nothing at all about treachery. As such, he backstabbed and murdered various crew and allies the moment their presence became inconvenient. His justification for piracy was that, while all men wanted to have rules and laws to follow, they would naturally abandon them in favor of instinct at the first sign of trouble; thus, anyone who made a pretense towards lawfulness was a sheep, and anyone he stole from deserved to lose their lives and possessions if they couldn't hold them through force of arms alone.
