The Turkish Dagger

This Relic is a Turkish Dagger once owned by a Barbary Corsair named Hayreddin Pasha.

They were pirates and privateers who operated from North Africa, based primarily in the ports of Tunis, Tripoli and Algiers. This area was known in Europe as the Barbary Coast, a term derived from the name of its Berber inhabitants.

Their predation extended throughout the Mediterranean, south along West Africa's Atlantic seaboard and even South America, and into the North Atlantic as far north as Iceland, but they primarily operated in the western Mediterranean.

He was a Pirate sorcerer and part of a group sometimes called the Ottoman Corsairs or the Berber Pirates. It is said this dagger has magical properties. It's said it can kill with a scratch, and force men to speak the truth before its point...

--Of course those are all lies... maybe.
