Biography

Not much is known about this man's life, other than he became a soldier of the Royal Guard by 1751. He was among the British Navy troops stationed on the island of Saint Martin. One night when he was on guard duty, protecting the small prison gates that faced the town harbor, he was approached by the notorious pirate Captain Hector Barbossa. The pirate captain spoke to the guard, telling him that he would need some time with one of the prisoners inside the jail, the witch Shansa. Bribed with the bag of gold that Barbossa gave him, the guard allowed the pirate to come inside and unlocked the doors to Shansa's cell, leaving the two to exchange a conversation in private. His further fate is unknown.
