Biography[]
Season One[]
One of Burgess' crew mates, Sanderson, is drinking at the bar in the tavern and insults Eleanor Guthrie. Eleanor asks Mr. Scott who Sanderson is a member of the crew of the Trinity. Scott also tells Eleanor that their last haul was nearly a thousand in profit, their best haul in months.
Season Three[]
Jack Rackham names Captain Burgess as a pirate captain that they can rally to participate in a massive show of force against the fleet arriving carrying the new Royal Governor, Woodes Rogers. Featherstone is rather skeptical about his willingness to join the cause.
Quotes[]
"Burgess, Woodall, the Cockrams..."
"Have you met those people? They're not exactly a rally around a flag sort."
- Jack Rackham and Augustus Featherstone in XXI.
