Don_Puffin
“I’m Puffin, a one-handed gamer and metalhead who’s been playing since launch. After six years living and performing in Japan, disability caused me to return to the UK. Determined not to give up, I started streaming to keep entertaining and to relearn how to play the game I love with one hand.”
TheDadvader
“Polish Viking living in Yorkshire, ex–special forces turned full-time dad and gamer.
Sea of Thieves is my main adventure, but we sail through plenty of games together, streaming in English & Polish.
My stream is all about laughs, support, and creating a chill, safe space where everyone feels welcome.”
Makakar
“I’m Makakar, tentacles, chaos and a love/hate relationship with sharks!
I’ve been gaming since I could use a mouse and keyboard, but Sea of Thieves stole my heart.
Bit of a tech-pirate, using my background in coding to build a one-of-a-kind stream experience for my community.
Join for some grog, tech talk, and maybe a Kraken encounter (except the shrouded Ghost, #FakeNews).”
The Underpants Brigade
“We are LokiJimmyB and Leator, together known as The Underpants Brigade, your favourite underpants themed Sea of Thieves Partner Duo from Germany. Sailing together since Alpha, we’ve started streaming Sea of Thieves 5 years ago, welcoming all in our streams, regardless if you’re a veteran or a swabbie.”
ComfyAnnimal
“Hiya! My name’s ComfyAnnimal, but the cool kids call me Annie. You may recognize me from being a mod for a few streamers, or maybe you’ve seen me live myself! I’ve been involved in the SoT Space for almost 2 years, and have truly found my home in this community! I have a preference for PvP, and I only recently unlocked the “Legends- The Greatest Race of all time!” commendation…”
Gosfather
“Bilge Rats Stream Team founding member, Twitch Partner, and vintage hot air factory. The OG Studio Marmite of the Sea of Thieves spouting all of the pirate game politics whilst displaying exaggerated controller skills and elite banter. Whilst all the time being a Trustee Director of Everyone Can.”
Coppertailwolf
“Artist and Pvp enjoyer! Hourglass is my main home in the game (though I do enjoy high seas hunting). I dodge cannons IRL and still end up bagged in game. I made my way to gold bones by anchoring my boat for a disadvantage, and then doing my best to turtle and still win the fight. I’m a hella outgoing introvert, that tends to be known for staying calm and collected in high stress battles (most of the time XD) I have a very high focus on using my platform for charity streams, and try to take part in as many charity events as I’m able to as well.”
SHREDZ
“Ahoy matey! Captain Sharkbait Shredz here! I’m a Twitch Partner, a Pirate Legend and the proud author of the Sea of Thieves Cookbook, where my love of life on the high seas meets my passion for cooking. From streaming Sea of Thieves to hosting live cooking events, I thrive on shenanigans with my community, grog‑fueled tales, hearty laughs, and doing good through charity and camaraderie.”
Disengag3d
“Yo! I’m Disengag3d. The Raging Scottish Tinkabell. I’m a pvp enthusiast. But I also like to help out new players with the game and show them the way of the seas on how to become a pirate legend! I’ve been streaming since February 2024 and the journey has been unreal. Met so many lovely people in that space of time until now and made so many new friends. I’ve played Sea of Thieves since 2021 all on controller! I’m all about the good vibes and having good interactions in the game.”
Coutinho
“Ahoy! My name is Coutinho . iam a portuguese streamer and i love sea of thieves specially streaming it, usually my streams are all about PvP and chaos but time to time i do few commendations , mostly when a new season drops. For the past few months i have been trying to help a portuguese community named ” Sea of thieves Lusitanos”, we have hosted events in there and helped a lot of people who didnt knew nothing about the game. I have been playing sea of thieves for 6 years and for the past 3 years ish it has become my main game, and being part of sotfest2026 its literally what i have been aiming for , getting to know new people and being more into the community in general, can’t wait to meet all the amazing people in few months, im happy to be part of the panellist, thank you so much! “
Toxie Sinclaire
“I’M A PIRATE GIRL DOING PIRATE THINGS!!
And some of those things also include making videos of my adventures, streams that make my desk cry (i keep hitting it) and most importantly; creating a safe space for a community of LGBT+ people that just wanna hang out and play video games.
Catch me literally every weekend.”
Div_And_Inc
“Standing for “Diversity_And_Inclusivity (NOT incorporated), I am a proud transgender variety streamer and content creator, a Sea of Thieves Boatswain and one of the founders of The Pride Brigade Affiliate Alliance. I make it my mission to enhance LGBTQIA+ representation and inclusion in everything I do through kind discussion, community storytelling, celebration and general silly behaviour.”
SightlessKombat
“An award winning, multi-credited accessibility consultant and BAFTA member, SK is a pirate with a difference to most: he has no sight whatsoever. Even so, he has sailed the seas and attended several SOTFests (including becoming a Boatswain and pirate legend along the way) with the aid of many helpful individuals and crews, having some great and comedic moments too!
He’s always happy to chat about accessibility from his perspective as well as discuss his work at RNIB as their Accessible Gaming Officer.”
Zom8ie
“I’m Zom8ie or Zom or Zom Zom I go by many names. I am a mediocre gamer from the North. I have been gaming since I could hold a controller officially graduated to pc gaming in 2020 where I found my love for Sea of Thieves. Since then I have become part of awesome communities and created a little Zombie Horde of my own. I am one of the many fab co founders of The Pride Brigade Affiliate Alliance creating a safe place for all gamers spreading positivity across The Sea of Thieves. I am a chaotic shades wearing nerd and hold the title for Best Bilge of the 7 seas…. and your nan loves me. “
EmpressJessicaVT
“A British Transgender VTuber, Bilge Rats Stream Team Member, Reporter for The Privateer, and bona fide chaotic cat. I set sail on these seas with one goal: to make a space where pirates can be comfortable to be their authentic selves, even if things get a little unhinged along the way~”
Pufferson
“Call me Puff or Pufferson (she/her), the Swedish girl who people thinks is from UK/USA/Australia lmao. Been around in the Sea of Thieves community for the last 6 years and streamed for equally as long. I was incredibly lucky to claim the Sea of Thieves Partner title back in 2023, something I worked incredibly hard for!
I’ve been focusing on authentic content on my platforms where I want to be a mental health advocate. Which means that I’ve always strived for an inclusive and safe space for people to come hangout regardless of how they feel that day. I mix the more serious stuff with the less serious, by being goofy and feisty – I’ll speak my mind on things if someone or myself get treated poorly in the moment. Very competitive naturally but finds enjoyment in the smallest things as well”
