Harlan Sweete was the captain of the Irontide Raiders. He used to be the first mate of Flynn Fairwind in another pirate crew, but the two had a falling out after a messy job and Flynn lost all taste for freebooting, and disappeared. Harlan took the nastiest of the crew and formed the Irontide Raiders. Harlan has recently forced the smaller crews in Freehold to pledge loyalty to him. He also sent Richard Tornsail to forcibly take over the smugglers cove of Anyport in Drustvar.

He made a deal with Lady Ashvane, who would provide them with Azerite weapons, which they would use against the Proudmoores to establish Ashvane as Lord Admiral of Kul Tiras. In exchange, Harlan would be named commander of the Kul Tiran fleet.

To this end, when he was informed by Ashvane that House Waycrest of Drustvar, longtime supporters of the Proudmoores, was falling into a state of disrepair, he sent Captain Leadfist to establish a base at Chandlery Wharf. From there, Leadfist was to pillage, loot, and plunder through Drustvar: this would deplete House Waycrest's supplies, keep them destabilized, and prevent them from being able to support the Proudmoores, while filling the Irontide's coffers at the same time.

He is the last boss of the Freehold dungeon and is killed by adventurers, with his death acknowledged in a later quest by Flynn.

I love the sound of corpses hitting the deck.

Wipe

• Alright lads, gather their valuables. After I've had my pick, you can fight for the scraps.
• Check their teeth for gold, boys. The rest is shark food.
• You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. Never go against Sweete when booty is on the line!

Trivia

• His character and design appear to inherit aspects of an early concept for Ashvane known as 'The Pirate Queen'.
• Sweete's model uses the pygmy skeleton.
• Sweete is voiced by Joe Ochman.^{[citation needed]} 
• Both his "classic blunder" and "inconceivable" voicelines are references to the film The Princess Bride, likely drawing a comparison between both of the character's short statures.
