The composition of Freebooter bands can vary greatly depending on their origin and history; some are the remnants of shattered warbands, others are eccentrics or fugitives from Ork society.{{Fn|1a}}

Freebooterz forsake their previous [[Ork Clan|Clan]] and tribal allegiances and usually wear a distinctive style of dress to emphasise this, often decorating themselves with ear and nose rings, '''Jolly Ork''' symbols and flamboyant clothing. As Freebooterz often don't have access to [[Painboyz]] or [[Mekboyz]]; their injuries frequently have to be patched up in a temporary manner, thus many Freebooterz sport eyepatches, peg-legs or hook hands. Freebooter bands are often led by a [[Kaptin]], these individuals are even tougher, more ruthless and foul tempered than the rest of their brethren and are usually even more ostentatiously attired, frequently favouring large hats and voluminous coats in which they conceal numerous weapons and flasks of [[Ork Fungus|fungus]] rum. {{Fn|1a}}
