Biography[]
Season Two[]
The Rigger is presumably one of Hornigold's men who combines with Flint's crew in order to launch an Assault on Fort Nassau to oust Charles Vane.
The Rigger is one of over 70 pirates who vote in Flint’s favor at the election for the captaincy of the combined Walrus -Royal Lion crew. After the Spanish Man O’ War sails into Charles Town harbor, Nicholas is killed when the foot rope on the mainmast snaps.
Billy Bones summons the riggers to discuss the problem. He acknowledges that the foot rope is a difficult spot, but it’s a deathtrap if it isn’t fixed. He then reminds the men that they are the riggers of the ship, and asks for one of them to volunteer to fix their topsail yard foot rope so when Flint returns from the city he returns to a ship that can hoist its sails without fatalities. The Rigger responds that a man died on those ropes and that it’s a bad omen. The Rigger finishes by saying that they cannot touch it until it’s fixed. Billy sighs and tells them that they’re all good people and goes up to fix it himself.
It is unknown if the Rigger is one of the roughly 20 pirates killed by Charles Vane and his men when they attack the ship.
