Edward Thatch

Edward Thatch (c. 1680 – 1718), more commonly known by the alias Blackbeard, was an infamous pirate captain who sailed the West Indies and the American Colonies during the early 18th century, on the ship named Queen Anne's Revenge.

Thatch met his fate in May 1718 at the hands of Royal Navy Lieutenant Robert Maynard and his crew.

Trivia

 * Lead Writer Darby McDevitt stated on his Twitter that the developers would be using the name Edward Thatch over the more commonly accepted Edward Teach, when referring to Blackbeard in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
