Biography[]
Background[]
Eight years after his retirement from the Account, Edward Teach, using the alias "Drummond," married Mary. However, after three weeks, Teach hears that the Guthries have been driven out of Nassau, and he leaves her[1].
Season Three[]
Mary's brothers Caleb, Tom, and Edgar travel from Williamsburg, Virginia to Bath, Carolina, to intercept Teach. They board the ship and explain that they are Mary's brothers and have come to make sure Teach honors his vows to their sister.
Teach apologizes and says he has somewhere he needs to be, but Tom insists that he is going with them. Teach says he understands their anger, but any promise made using the word "forever" is simply an agreed upon lie. He goes on to say that there is no such thing as forever, and everything moves towards its end. As you get closer, the louder the clock ticks, and someone will no longer want to deprived of happiness because of that promise. Teach tells Tom and his brothers that he explained all this to Mary, and she told him that she would not protest their separation.
At this point, Tom angrily questions if Teach is calling their sister a liar. Teach calmly answers that considering they're standing before him, he can think of at least three lies she told them. The first, she likely told them that he retired from a prosperous trade, what she neglected to mention was that trade was high seas piracy. The second, she told them his name was Drummond, but when he was a pirate, he went by Teach. The third, she led them to believe that they could point their swords at him, and live to tell the tale. Teach slowly rises and reveals his full armament of pistols, before telling them that that was less than the truth. He quickly shoots the three brothers. Tom lives long enough to crawl to the door before expiring[2].
After arriving in Nassau, Teach explains to Charles Vane why he returned, including the circumstances of his separation from Mary[1].
Trivia[]
- In real life, Mary Ormond was the daughter of a wealthy plantation owner from Bath (rather than Williamsburg as in the show) who married Edward Teach after he "retired" from piracy.
