Minion Role	‘’Galley Slave Driver:’’ Galley slave drivers gain skill ranks equal to their ECL in the following skills: Balance, Intimidate, Rope Use, Swim. They gain proficiency in Whip. They gain the Row Faster ability.
Villainous Abilities	Row Faster (Ex): Bully Boys apply the lash with glee. By cruel application of the whip, they cause the poor slaves who man their galley to row faster. During that time, the ship moves an additional ten feet (two squares) per turn. At the end of the row or forty minutes, the slaves become exhausted.

The "bully boys" are the four crew members that Captain Hiram Smith trusts the most. He sends them on special tasks, and he uses them as his personal bodyguards in dangerous situations. Their favorite job is to whip the slaves who row for their galley.
