Biography []
Season Two[]
When the Spanish Man O’ War arrives inCharles Town, the Boat Captain rows up to the ship in a longboat fitted with a swivel gun at the bow and announces that they are willing to pay the sum Charles Vane requested for Abigail Ashe. Flint announces who he is and that he has no demands, only a request to meet with GovernorPeter Ashe. The Boat Captain then rows Flint, Miranda Barlow and Abigail to the docks, where they are met by Colonel William Rhett. The Captain informs Rhett of the situation and Rhett escorts the trio into town.
The next night, the Captain rows up to the ship yet again, not knowing that it has been taken by Charles Vane and his crew. He announces, using a megaphone that Governor Ashe accepted Flint into his home as a guest. Flint violated this, and is to be swiftly tried and executed. It will be reestablished that the rule of law exists in Charles Town. The Boat Captain tells the pirates that they have until the trial's conclusion to leave, or else their ship will be seized or sunk.
The Boat Captain is presumably killed in the Sack of Charles Town.
