Wyatt

"To surrender? I've been entrusted with the affairs of the town, and I do not intend to bow to the demands of a pirate, no matter how fierce his reputation."

- Wyatt telling Ryder that he won't accept Thatch's demands, 1718

Wyatt, also known as Captain Wyatt was the governor of the former British colony of Charleston until 1718.

During his tenure as the governor of Charleston, he was asked by the pirate Edward Thatch for medicines for syphilis and scurvy, diseases which severely affected the inhabitants of Nassau. Wyatt refused to give medicines to the pirate, which prompted Thatch to capture few residents of the colony and blockade the colony for a week. Wyatt, still refused to give medicines to the pirates, which made the pirate Edward Kenway infiltrate Charleston in his ship, the Jackdaw, following two soldiers who were about to meet Wyatt. When tailing Wyatt, the guards spotted the Jackdaw near the town, raising an alarm and revealing Edward's presence. A frightened Wyatt began to run to his mansion, but he was chased and killed by Kenway in the process. Kenway then snatched a key from Wyatt, and left him to die. The pirates were then able to steal medicines and had the ingredients to make more.
