Crow is what's called a "spore eater", which protects her from physical harm but also causes severe dehydration. Like most spore eaters, she feels the tradeoff is not worth it, so she manipulates her crew into piracy so they'll be desperate enough to venture into the dangerous seas where the dragon Xisisrefliel lives, as Xisis is reputed to be able to "cure" spore eaters. (It turns out that the cure requires ongoing maintenance from the dragon in order to be ongoingly effective, so her plan was flawed to begin with.)

It's Lucky Jack! On his very first command, took a frigate with a sloop, and filled up Port Mahón with prizes. He's a disaster on land, kind of shit with money, but he is brilliant at sea, ingenious and strategically minded. He loves his wife, Sophie, and his bestie, Stephen Maturin, and he gets up to all sorts of hijinks with the latter. He rescued Stephen from being tortured by the French, actually, and Stephen frequently uses his own connections to try and work to Jack's advantage. He's obsessed with gunnery, and his crew generally love him because he's disciplined but not a hard-horse, plus he's lucky and brings them lots of prizes and prize money. He's a jock, but later in life he starts to love math for its own sake, as well as becoming an astronomer of no mean ability; he's presented papers on math and astronomy to the Royal Society. He's a great musician, a violinist, and his duets with Stephen (a cellist) are so incredibly touching to read about. His music is just... beautiful. Stephen's hands were wrecked by torture, and later on we find out that Jack's been downplaying his own ability to match Stephen's level, because he'd rather play average with Stephen than perfectly alone.

There's so much more I could say but tldr he's the best I love him.

Gently, there.

Captain "Lucky Jack" Aubrey.

I rewatched Master and Commander recently and couldn't resist.

[ID: Digital painting of Jack Aubrey in his uniform (a long dark blue jacket with golden épaulettes, buttons and trimmings, and a cream-coloured vest and breeches) hanging over the side of a (off-screen) ship, holding onto a rope. More ropes are visible behind and in front of him. The background is a calm sunny sea-scape.]

CAPTAIN JACK “GOLDILOCKS” AUBREY

Jack took the wheel, and as he did so a last gust from the island staggered the sloop...plucking Jack’s hat from his head and streaming bright yellow hair away to the south-south-west. • ‘We call him Goldilocks in the service, you know, in much the same way as they call me Hellfire Davy, or Thundering Richards...’ ⎈ Patrick O’Brien, Master and Commander
