Biography[]
Season Three[]
Colin was aboard the Walrus when it went through the tempest and ended up stranded in the Doldrums. After weeks of starving and unrelenting heat, he began to become apocalyptic. He began saying to the crew that God had abandoned them and that they weren't even worthy of His anger. He later survived the ordeal after Captain Flint and now quartermaster John Silver caught several sharks to provide sustenance to the fading crew. Shortly afterwards, the wind returns, and the crew sails to what appears to them to be an uninhabited island[1].
Colin, along with the rest of the crew, is captured by a large group of Maroons and marched inland to their camp. There, the Maroon Queen questions Captain Flint and then John Silver, the quartermaster, about how the pirates arrived at her island. Silver explains that they were defeated in battle and then thrown upon her shores by a storm. Silver promises that this is the truth, but the Queen rhetorically asks that if he were her, would he wager the lives of all those in her care on the word of a pirate. She then picks Parker out of the line and orders her men to question him. The rest of the men, Colin included, are then herded into cages[2].
Colin and the rest of the crew are freed by the Maroons after Flint is able to negotiate a deal with them to combine forces in order to retake Nassau, and from there ignite a slave rebellion across the New World[3].
Colin watches when Dobbs confronts a Maroon over a lashing that came undone, causing a spar to fall and nearly hit Dobbs. Flint arrives and asks what happened, and Dobbs says the Maroon's lashing became undone after Dobbs showed him how to tie it ten minutes ago. Flint then tells Dobbs that he instructed the Maroon incorrectly and not to cause a fight, reminding him that they have convinced the Maroons that they need the Walrus men, but the Walrus men definitely need the Maroons[4].
Season Four[]
Colin was aboard the Walrus during the failed invasion of Nassau. After the ship becomes grounded on scuttled hulks, they come under fire from Rogers' forces in Fort Nassau. As they are pummeled, Colin attempts to help a crew mate of his who lost his leg. After Flint gives the order to abandon ship, he made it to the island safely with Dr. Howell and De Groot , however they and seven others were captured by redcoats and brought before Governor Woodes Rogers and Captain Berringer. He grimaces and looks away when Berringer removes De Groot's ear as recompense for the mutilation of his men in the jungle on the Maroon Island[5].
After his capture, Colin is tried in The Tavern by Judge Adams. Adams asks if he has anything to say in his defense, and Colin merely says "fuck you" to the magistrate. Adams then orders Colin removed, and two soldiers drag him out of the building[6].

Colin, along with De Groot, is among the twenty prisoners freed from the fort in exchange for Max. He was relieved to be back amongst his brothers[7]. When Rogers is spotted returning to Nassau aboard the Revenge, Colin prepares for battle with the other pirates on the beach. De Groot hands him a musket and Colin cocks it before taking his position[8].
Colin is able to escape the Spanish Sack of Nassau aboard the Walrus, which retreats to the Maroon Island. However, they leave shortly thereafter in an effort to rescue Madi from Governor Rogers' clutches. However, the rescue mission fails, forcing Silver to reveal that he brought the cache of gems that Rogers demanded as ransom along, despite the damage it might do to the Pirate-Maroon alliance. The crew follows Rogers to Skeleton Island. En route, they sail through a small rainstorm, and Colin talks with Adams near the helm. As they enter the inlet, Colin and the rest of the crew gaze in awe at the wreck of a massive ship[9].
After Flint and Dooley abscond with the Urca cache, Colin is sent with Israel Hands, Joji, Adams and two other pirates, considered the six best under Silver's command, to retrieve it and kill Flint. When their tracks split, they wait for Silver to arrive to help them figure out which way he went. However, Silver rebukes all of them, saying he has no way of knowing which path Flint chose. He is sent with Adams and another pirate to follow one set of tracks, while Joji and the other pirate are sent to follow the other. The three soon find Flint and Colin asks whether they should go find Hands, but Adams says that there isn't time. They attempt to sneak up on Flint but he evades them. Flint then proceeds to sneak up behind the group, snap one pirate's neck and then stab Colin in the stomach, killing him. Adams is also soon killed by Flint's hand. Silver and Hands later arrive at the scene and are disappointed by the group's failure[10].
Quotes[]
By Colin[]
"We're all dead men. Smote by a storm, the product of his rage. We are dead men, consigned to a place where we are no longer worthy even of the good Lord's anger and must endure his indifference. We are dead men, left to suffer, knowing that He no longer hears our cries because in this place, He is absent."
- Colin in the Doldrums in XXI.
