Biography[]
Season Three[]
Jack Rackham returns to Nassau seeking a pardon, so he can keep his name when he and Anne Bonny start a new life with their share of the Urca de Lima gems. Jack finds Russell, a former pirate who accepted a pardon, loading a wagon full of timber hitched to a pair of donkeys. Jack asks him where he is leading the wagon, and Russell tells him to Fort Nassau. Jack asks what for and Russell tells him it’s for fort repairs, confused by the obvious nature of the question. Jack asks if it is just Russell and his colleague, and Russell tells him that there is a large group of them working on restoring the fort, for Governor Rogers wants it fixed by the end of the month. Russell then climbs on the wagon and says that the fort won’t rebuild itself before driving away.
Russell is one of the men recruited by Jacob Garrett to help stop the execution of Charles Vane, showing that he wasn’t completely happy with the new regime. Russell stands in the front row, preparing for Jacob’s and Billy’s signal to start shouting about Eleanor Guthrie and cause enough unrest in the crowd that they would be able to free Vane in the chaos. However, Vane discreetly tells Billy not to try and rescue him, before giving a rousing speech to the citizens of Nassau, saying that he is being hanged to frighten them because the Governor fears them, encouraging them to stand up and fight Rogers. Vane then tells the executioner to get on with it, and walks off the cart he is standing on with the noose around his neck. Billy eventually tells Jacob to go hold Vane down so his neck breaks, giving him a quicker death. Jacob leads Russell and Davis in holding Vane’s body down, an act of defiance against Eleanor and Rogers.
