Captain Edward Teach, aka blackbeard was a very famous and successful pirate, maybe he is the responsable of almost all the topics related to pirates, somekind of a father of the genere. As a strong man, he was wounded several times in his last fight before to die.

[link]. But seriously, historically inaccurate or not it would have made him look way cooler.

~Jbulleit97 Mar 30, 2013

p.s. ignore the link, I think I screwed up with the emoticons or something.

Well done, the 4 fuses under his hat and the 3 pistols across his chest commando style means you've done your research (accurate depiction) good work.

~GigaScythe Mar 24, 2013

while i add this to favorites pls enlighten me on the 4 fuses and 3 pistols if you'd be so kind

~Brutechieftan Mar 24, 2013 Student General Artist

Pistols: The reason for having 3 is that a flint lock pistol (or musket) can only fire 1 shot (unless its an over, under one:[link] essientaillly 2 barrels that manually rotate after each shot.) which means reloading takes 60 seconds if your good. And in the heat of battle you most likely won't be reloading. Which is why flint locks were used during boarding a ship, Yarrrr was raiding or as a last resort.

Fuses under his hat: [link](bw).jpg
Pirates were supposed to be mean and nasty, so the fuses were to I handle that, make Edward Teach (Blackbeard) look more menacing as the period picture I provided demonstrates. I think it was his own "pirate style" considering I can't find any record of other pirates doing it.

Hope this helped, if not try to wiki black beard. It's an unreliable source, but should give u a brief over view of everything yarrrr!

"Gentlemen I be placed in a bewilderment there i were resting...and upon a sudden.. I hear an ungodly row on deck *caresses the hilt of the Triton Sword making the ropes come alive* Sailors abandoning their posts, without orders, without leave, *rotates the hilt, making the riggng creak* Men, before the mast, taking the ship for themselves, What be that First Mate ?
Angelica: "Mutiny, Captain."
"Again ?"
Angelica: "Mutiny !"
"Aye, mutiny.*unsheathes sword* And what fate befalls mutineers, now we know the answer to that one, do we not ? Mutineers....HANG !!!!*raises enchanted sword, making the sails drop and the riggings ensare the crew*
