Biography[]

Season Three[]

When the Walrus returns to Nassau to rescue Jack Rackham and to steal the cache of Urca gems from Woodes Rogers, the Lookout is stationed in the crow’s nest of the foremast and checks every fifteen minutes with a spyglass to see if Captain’s Flint’s shore party has given the signal to retrieve them. The Walrus’s sails are furled, and with the hull below the horizon, they are invisible to any lookouts on New Providence. However, Benjamin Hornigold realizes that they are hiding under bare poles and sails after them in the Orion. The Lookout informs John Silver of the approaching ship and Silver orders that launches be sent to retrieve the shore party. 

The Lookout is again stationed in the foremast during the Battle of the Maroon Island. While the Walrus is hidden behind a promontory, preparing to sail out to fight Rogers’ entire fleet of seven ships, the Lookout spots another fleet coming from the southeast flying British colors. While Jack and De Groot argue over whether to tell Flint to retreat, Jack suddenly has a realization, and asks the Lookout to describe the fleet. The Lookout tells him that there are three tall ships, two sloops and a man of war, and Jack realizes that it’s the Pirate Fleet and orders that they sail to meet them.
