Hendrik Blüd was the first Captain Blüd and founder of The Crew of the Crossed Keys.

Centuries ago, when the island of Bludhaven was part of the Dutch colony New Netherland, a Kraken lurked in the seas around the island, destroying any ships that passed its way and leaving the people on the island stranded. Hendrik Blüd went out alone in his whaling ship and slew the beast with a harpoon. For his heroism, the townspeople renamed the town Blüdhaven in his honour. His victory over the monster is commemorated by a huge statue in Bludhaven Park.

People trusted him and his crew to guard their greatest treasure, making them wealthy and influential. They evolved into a secret society known as The Crew of the Crossed Keys, and Captain Blüd's ship became The Hold, a secret bank serving the rich and powerful. His descendants lead the Crew to this day, in a long chain of Captain Blüd's.
