'''Stede Bonnet''' (c. 1688 – 10 December 1718) was an early 18th century [[Barbados|Barbadian]] [[Piracy|pirate]] of [[United Kingdom|English]] descent who sailed the Eastern Seaboard of the [[United States|Thirteen Colonies]] with his crew. Despite his infamy however, he was often nicknamed "The Gentleman Pirate".

Stede Bonnet met [[Edward Kenway]] on [[Cape Bonavista]], shortly after the latter had killed and assumed the identity of [[Duncan Walpole]], an [[Assassins|Assassin]] who planned to sell a [[Blood vials|blood vial]] to the [[Templars]]. Shortly beforehand, Bonnet was being harassed by several British soldiers who mistook him for a pirate and intended to commandeer his vessel, following a sea battle between Edward's and Duncan's ships.

After Edward saved Bonnet, he offered to take Kenway with him to [[Havana]], after the latter had introduced himself under Walpole's name. On arriving in Havana, Stede and Edward headed into the city, eventually ending up in a tavern. Here, Edward was recognized by a privateer, who knew about Kenway's true name, following which the two engaged in a fight after Edward's attempt to silence him.

After the fight, Bonnet was mistaken for Kenway's accomplice and severely beaten by the [[Spain|Spanish]] [[guards]], having his sugar confiscated as a result. Once Kenway had returned from avoiding the soldiers, he found a battered Bonnet by the docks, who told the former that the soldiers had confiscated Edward's pouch, as well as his sugar. Edward then agreed to retrieve Bonnet's sugar at the same time as his pouch, but could not fulfil on his promise. Fortunately however, Stede was still able to make a profit with his remaining inventory, and Kenway then confessed his real first name to Bonnet.

Later on, Bonnet spotted Kenway with the Templars and excitedly called him by his real name, nearly blowing his cover, to which Kenway was quickly able to talk his way out of trouble. Kenway later met with Bonnet and complained about the small pay he received from the job; Bonnet, on the other hand, was really trying to inform Kenway of his great sales from the day.

Bonnet went on to sail under [[Edward Thatch]] for a time, until he acquired his own ship. During a time skip, Bonnet had been captured by British soldiers and hung for his piracy. However, Bonnet left clues of his adventures for Edward.

Later on, Edward followed in Bonnet's footsteps on the island of [[Saint Lucia]], and uncovered the secrets of the pirate's adventures.

==Personality==
Stede Bonnet was a jolly and gracious man, shown especially by his great respect for Edward Kenway, who saved his life, and his ability to see a silver lining to any situation. However, this came paired with naivety, as Bonnet clearly did not understand the potential dangers he could have faced while traveling with Edward, nor for the consequences of piracy, passing it off for grand adventure.

While under Thatch, Bonnet showed more courage than earlier, being toughened up by living with the incredibly terrifying Blackbeard. Of course, when Thatch was demonstrating to Edward what it meant to instill fear in men, Bonnet still cowered weakly when Thatch used him as an example.

Despite this, Stede left Blackbeard's crew in good spirits, even commenting to Kenway the great impact that the man had on his self-esteem and confidence, as his last words to Kenway involved him thanking him for his help.
==Appearance==
Stede Bonnet is a somewhat pudgy fellow, with blonde hair in a ponytail. He is one of the few characters with little to no facial hair, very unlike his captain. He always wears a large brown overcoat, adorned with nobleman fashion, and appears to wear rather wealthy looking clothing.

Bonnet was being harassed by several British soldiers who mistook him for a pirate, following a sea battle between Edward's and Duncan's ships.

After Edward saved Bonnet, he offered to take Kenway, who introduced himself under Walpole's name, to [[Havana]], which is where Bonnet was headed in the first place. After arriving in Havana, Stede and Edward headed into the city, eventually ending up in a merchant house. Edward was recognized by a privateer, who knew about Kenway being a pirate, and the two engaged in a fight.

After the fight, Bonnet was mistaken for Kenway's accomplice, severely beaten by the [[Spain|Spanish]] [[guards]], and had his sugar confiscated. After Kenway returned from avoiding the soldiers, he found Bonnet badly beaten by the docks, who told the former that the soldiers had confiscated Edward's pouch, as well as his sugar. Edward agreed to retrieve Bonnet's sugar when he went to retrieve his pouch. Fortunately, despite Kenway not retrieving Bonnet's sugar, he was still able to make a profit with his remaining inventory. Kenway then confessed his real first name to Bonnet.

==Personality==
Stede Bonnet can be described as a man who always sees the bright side of things, and is more than gracious to people who help him, as shown by his great respect for [[ Edward Kenway|Edward Kenway]], who saved his life. Bonnet also seemed rather out of place, as he clearly didn't understand what dangers he could have been in while traveling with Edward Kenway. However, he always found a positive side, as he was very happy about the profit he made in [[Havana]] despite some cargo being stolen.

While under [[Blackbeard]], Bonnet showed more courage than earlier, being toughened up by living with the incredibly terrifing Blackbeard. Of course, when Blackbeard was explainning to edward what it means to instill terror, Bonnet showed just how terrified he was of the ever deadly pirate.

He left Blackbeard's crew in good spirits, even commenting to Kenway the great impact the man had on his self-esteem and confidence, as his last words to Kenway were "thank you"
