I see this same Rogue Trader, he is on the cover of the main book, and featured throughout it. Is this Winterscale? Or does he even have a name? He has the scar across his left eye, usually wears red, you have all seen him.
Who is the Rogue Trader in much of the RT Art?
He's the generic rogue trader invented by marketing.
I think he probably has a name. He is in several pieces of art. I can't imagine the artist did not name him. Lets just hope it has some dignity, not something like "Bubbles Mandela" or "Toots McGee"

Oh you cynical cynical people!
iirc he is one of the characters played by one of the game designers (Ross?) and their ship is the "Sovereign Venture".
Can remember where I read that though..
I mean "can't".
waitamin... You don't mean Sarvus Trask do you?
That is correct! I forgot about that. He is the same guy in the freebie release.
Rogue Trader Lucian Gerrit from Andy Hoare's "Rogue Star". The image can be seen here: http://www.amazon.com/Rogue-Star-Warhammer-40-000/dp/184416375X
Yup, my apologies, I was thinking of the back cover and the GM screen.
Why of course his name is Commander Shepard.

At least his name isn't Captain Jack Harkness.
And, for some reason, I just pictured him getting it on with the blue xenos girls... bad forum, BAD!

Just change blue xeno to an Eldar, and "Lurve Can Broom on the battrefierd." Haha.
But it would be nice if GW gave him a name, they seem to like to plaster him everywhere in the book.

This is what you get for dissin' the Harkness, Baron! You're own mind generating mental trauma in protestation. 
At least I've not heard any one trying to recreate Captain Sparrow in so many words.

As mentioned earlier, its Sarvus Trask
It certainly looks like Sarvus.

Actually my party did encounter a rather Sparrowesque individual who tried to hustle them out of a ship. (And, yes, this was a random encounter in a space dock done entirely tongue in cheek)

i would very much like to hear about that encounter. 
I am of the understanding that it is Lord Winterscale.

I am fairly certain that is exactly who it is. Given the artwork for the Rogue Trader character in Forsaken Bounty, the fact that Trask is the one quoted in Into the Storm for the Legend of the Expanse and the artwork is of the same Rogue Trader. Let's just say it is Trask and be done with this.

That was unintentional, actually; I used Trask initially just as a placeholder name in the first draft of that alternate rank, and it just ended up staying that way.
