Biography[]

Season Four[]

Eleanor Guthrie makes a deal with Captain Flint and John Silver for her and her allies, and Woodes Rogers to vacate Nassau and the fort in exchange for the cache of gems. The Redcoat is chosen along with five other Redcoats to escort Eleanor to the meeting point. The Redcoats travel with Flint and Eleanor to find Madi, Obi and Zaki waiting for them at the entrance to the fort tunnel. The group then walks to the beach to meet the arriving sloop, but find Jack Rackham and his crew there instead of Kofi and the gems.

Flint and Rackham discuss the deal, and Jack is angry with Flint for trying to give away his money. Meanwhile, Eleanor and Madi discuss Mr. Scott’s distrust of pirates, and Madi tells Eleanor that Scott mistrusted everyone, including Eleanor, his surrogate daughter. Eleanor, impatient and irritated by the remark, informs the Lieutenant that they are returning to the Fort. The Lieutenant and another soldier then accompany her out to where Flint and Rackham are talking, and Eleanor tells them that  since they don’t have the cache, she is returning to the fort with her collateral.

Madi and her men follow, to ensure Flint’s safety. As they travel through the interior, they find hundreds of Spanish soldiers trekking through the island. Flint then leads them to the abandoned Barlow Estate. Spanish soldiers soon arrive after them, having tracked them to the house. Upon his request (noting that they will need every man available to fight), the Redcoat unshackles Flint and the pirate takes command of the Redcoats and the Maroons.

As the soldiers man the makeshift fortifications built by the Pirate Resistance, they wait for the Spanish soldiers. As they advance, Flint has them wait until all the soldiers are in range before firing. The Redcoats and Maroons, led by Flint, then charge the remaining soldiers. Two of the Redcoats are killed, but they prevail. However, three more Spanish soldiers happen upon the scene and quickly run away. Flint tells the Redcoat that if they let them get away, they’ll return with fifty more soldiers. Flint leads the Redcoat and two of his fellow soldiers and Obi in pursuit of the Spanish soldiers.

The Redcoat and his Lieutenant return with Flint and Obi (one Redcoat having been killed) to find the Barlow house burning and Eleanor dying outside. She tells Flint she tried to save Madi but couldn’t. She then asks if her husband was with the Spanish, and Flint chooses to lie to her in her final moments to give her comfort. Flint then leads the two remaining Redcoats and Obi to the Underhill Estate, where he informs John Silver of Madi’s demise. It is unknown what the Redcoats do after that.
