30s, resourceful, smooth / United States sailing master

Known for his navigational and business skills, Dobbins believes there’s always a deal to be had. Responsible for originally persuading the US Government to build a fleet on Lake Erie, his cynicism and entrepreneurial spirit also means he’s suspected of corruption. It will strain his relationship with Perry, though he will eventually prove himself a patriot as well as a survivor. With a wicked sense of humor, he’s always great company.
