Gangplank, the Saltwater Scourge is a fighter champion with a combination of powerful single-target and area-of-effect damage, along with multiple utility tools. He can go at enemies from up close or at distance thanks to his access to speed boosts, crowd control cleansing, slows, and multiple ranged abilities. One of these abilities gives Gangplank and his opponents access to a unique "minigame", as exploding barrels Gangplank spawns can be triggered by him for area-of-effect damage and crowd control or disarmed by enemies to neutralize their threat and earn some bonus gold.

I think that covers the important bits. Man, GP sure has a lot going on.
