Swashbucklers are adventurous characters, often depicted in literature and film, who engage in daring feats and swordplay. They are typically portrayed as charming and charismatic heroes, often set in historical contexts like the Age of Sail or Renaissance. These characters are known for their flamboyant style, quick wit, and a strong sense of honor. The term "swashbuckler" originally referred to a type of swordsman or a braggart who boasted about their skills. Over time, it has come to represent a genre of storytelling that includes tales of pirates, duels, and romantic escapades, with notable examples found in works like The Three Musketeers and Pirates of the Caribbean.
