Biography


In the summer of 1711, Seth, his father, and his father's associate Julian were drinking in the Auld Shillelagh tavern on the edge of town, where they intended to intoxicate a local girl named Rose and sexually abuse her. However, the trio was stopped by Edward Kenway, a Welshman with whom the Cobleighs had a deep rivalry. The four briefly fought, with the Cobleighs gaining the upper hand, until they were interrupted by Caroline Scott, whose family employed Rose. The three Englishmen fled, but went to Edward's home two days later, slaughtering a pair of the family's sheep to provoke Edward.

The animosity between the two families rose over the next year, culminating in Tom and Julian's burning down the Kenway farmstead. Seth witnessed the arson and took part in the beating that the men gave Edward when he returned home. The group then left, headed for the Auld Shillelagh.

However, Edward had arrived first and was waiting for the Cobleighs and Julian to arrive. When they did, Edward ran Julian through with a sword before chasing Tom and Seth outside. After a brief pursuit, Edward knocked Seth unconscious and continued to chase Tom through the farmlands.
