El Tiburón

"You humbled me once, and I took that hard lesson, and I bettered myself. Die knowing that for all of our conflict, you helped make a soldier out of a scoundrel."

- Edward Kenway to El Tiburón, as the latter lay dying, 1722.

El Tiburón (English: The Shark; unknown – 1722) was the right-hand man of Laureano de Torres y Ayala, the Grand Master of the Caribbean Templars. Edward Kenway first encountered him during an execution in Havana, and later during Edward's meeting with the Templars at the governor's mansion. El Tiburón was also present during the interrogation and escort of the Sage, Bartholomew Roberts, and subsequently defended the Templars from the Assassins who attempted to free Roberts. El Tiburón incapacitated Edward during his attempt to rescue the Sage from the prison in Havana.

In 1719, he accompanied Torres to Kingston to meet with fellow Templar Woodes Rogers and his newest recruit, Benjamin Hornigold. Years later, after the assassination attempt on Woodes Rogers and the death of Bartholomew Roberts, El Tiburón was guarding a body double of Torres, in an attempt to delay Kenway from pursuing the governor to the Observatory. As Edward assassinated the impostor, El Tiburón engaged him in combat, but was eventually killed by Kenway, who used his pistols to penetrate his armor.
