Biography[]

Season One[]

Mosiah was the de facto leader of the African members of the Walrus crew. With an upcoming vote imminent for the captaincy of the Walrus, Mosiah held influence in the outcome of the vote due to his position. With nine votes on the line, Gates asked him to influence the other Africans to support Flint, and he agreed after a brief discussion. However, the conversation was witnessed by Jack Rackham, who went and informed Singleton.

Mosiah cronfronted by Singleton

Singleton confronted Mosiah on the beach, angry that Mosiah had gone back on his promise of support. Mosiah tried to tell him that he is simply trying to put his men's best interest first, then turned to leave. Mosiah and Levi were confronted by Rackham and Anne Bonny, who drew her swords. When Levi pulled his sword, she easily killed him. After that, Charles Vane, another Captain who works out of the island, came out of the shadows and revealed himself to Mosiah.

Later, Joshua found Gates, who was speaking with Eleanor Guthrie and Mr. Scott about his being able to secure the vote in their favour.

Mosiah Dead

Joshua told them there had been an incident, and took the three of them to the beach to find the body of Mosiah. He told Gates that he went to find Mosiah when he didn't return from the meeting, and found him dying on the beach. Before he died, he was able to speak a single word, "Vane".

Later, when Eleanor, Flint, and Gates meet with Vane and Rackham to negotiate a partnership between the crews in order to hunt the Urca de LimaFlint demands that before they begin, they address the murder of Mosiah. Rackham answers that without taking responsibility, he could see a small allowance being made for good will and asks an amount. Flint then demands 10,000 pounds, before then mentioning the murder of Levi, Mosiah's bodyguard.
