Biography[]
Season Two[]
The Colonial Dawn Helmsman was one of the 28 members of the Colonial Dawn who followed their navigator,Augustus Featherstone, in naming Jack Rackham as their captain, with Featherstone being promoted to quartermaster, while they are provided leads on potential prizes by Max, the madame of the Inn.
The crew sets sail to capture the True North, a merchant vessel that is heavily insured, and therefore likely to surrender. The Helmsman steers as they sail towards the merchant ship’s purported location. After the True North is spotted by the lookout, and Rackham orders that the helm to come to starboard and make a heading north-northwest and for the crew to strike the mainsail and foresail. The crew is surprised by Rackham’s orders, given that he just reduced their sails and ordered them to steer in the wrong direction, but Rackham orders them to get to it, and the Helmsman obeys. Featherstone realizes that he struck the sails to make the ship nimbler and is going to come up right behind the True North and steal her wind.
Rackham leads his crew in successfully capturing the True North. The second crew arrives, led by a Captain Linus Harcourt. The two captains sit down to work out a deal where they split the merchant ship's cargo. However, the captain offers a terrible deal. Rackham speaks with Featherstone, who says that the crew will take the deal, knowing that they can’t fight Captain Harcourt and his numerically superior crew.
Rackham feigns acceptance to the deal, but then slashes Harcourt with his dagger. After a brutal fistfight, Harcourt dies after bleeding out from the wound to his neck. Before the pirate crews begin fighting, Rackham begs them to wait. He then says that Harcourt wanted to kill every member of the merchant crew, which Rackham could not allow. He orders Haines to remove the crew of the True North’s restraints and to arm them. Haines follows his captain’s orders. Rackham then asks if there is a member of the Goliath’s crew willing to negotiate a more reasonable deal in light of the overwhelming numbers against them. The Goliath’s Quartermaster then sits down to negotiate with Rackham.
The Colonial Dawn then goes after the Urca de Lima gold, which is guarded on the beach near the treasure galleon’s wreck by a small number of soldiers, most of which had died of a plague that swept through their camp. The crew is successful, and the gold is taken back to Nassau.
