'''Samuel Bellamy''' (1689 – 1717), also known as '''Black Sam''' and the '''Prince of Pirates''', was an [[United Kingdom|English]] [[Piracy|pirate]] and a member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]], who operated in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] during the [[Golden Age of Piracy|early 18th century]]. He was also an associate of fellow pirates [[Alonzo Batilla]] and [[Olivier Levasseur]].

==Biography==
===Becoming a pirate===
{{Quote|I am getting very tired of playing this part. The clothes I wear, the flourish with which I speak. This Prince of Pirates is but a pathetic fake, a bawdy actor without flair or panache. Yet everyone seems fooled by my performance, and the more I act, the more they believe my words.|Bellamy in his journal.|Assassin's Creed: Pirates}}
At some point in his life, Bellamy became a member of the Assassin Order. In order to infiltrate the pirate community, he began taking on the role of the "Prince of Pirates", speaking with a sophisticated voice and dressing in expensive clothing. Although he thought that the role was amateuristic and poorly performed, he acknowledged its effectiveness.<ref name="Pirates"/>

Bellamy and his friend [[Paulsgrave Williams]] soon rose through the pirate hierarchy, double-crossing fellow pirate [[Henry Jennings]], and taking his bounty and crew. Afterwards, Bellamy and Williams caught up with the pirate [[Benjamin Hornigold]] west of [[Cuba]], intending to join his fleet by exploiting the hostility between Hornigold and Jennings to remain safe. Having made an impression on Hornigold, Bellamy was given command of the newly captured ''[[Marianne (ship)|Marianne]]'', creating a highly successful crew.<ref name="Pirates" />

In July 1716, Bellamy and Hornigold's men had grown tired of Hornigold's reluctance to attack British ships. After the crew voted in favor of deposing Hornigold, the young pirate [[Alonzo Batilla]] appeared, offering to take the deposed captain away.<ref name="Pirates" />

===Working with Batilla===
{{Quote|Their ideals are rotten! Look around you, Alonzo. We pirates are the last of the free men... Slaves, soldiers, citizens... all subjects to kings, Gods and merchant princes!|Bellamy telling Alonzo about the European empires, 1717.|Assassin's Creed: Pirates}}
In the meantime, Bellamy was about to attack a [[Slave ships|slave ship]]. Having dropped off Hornigold, Batilla insisted on participating in the attack. Bellamy accepted, and after they had boarded the ship, he advised Batilla to take on one of the [[Slavery|slaves]], [[Aaminah]], as a crew member.<ref name="Pirates" />

Having been assigned by his Order to acquire a mysterious [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]] known as the "[[Fragment of Eden|Fragment]]", around November 1716, Bellamy heard that it was carried by the [[Spain|Spanish]] treasure fleet. Meeting with Batilla and Levasseur, he told them of his intention to attack it, without mentioning the Fragment, however. Although Levasseur and Batilla questioned Bellamy's motives, Batilla agreed to attack the convoys. During this time, Bellamy sailed away from the battle.<ref name="Pirates" />

Around January 1717, Bellamy received a letter from a fellow Assassin. According to the letter, the Fragment was being taken from [[Africa]] to the West Indies on board a slave ship called the ''[[Whydah]]'', captained by the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] slaver [[Laurens Prins]]. Later that month, Bellamy met with Batilla near [[Havana]]. Apologizing for abandoning Batilla, he told him to find Prins' planned route. While Batilla was away, Bellamy was attacked by the [[Templars|Templar]] [[Francis Hume]]. However, Batilla intervened and rescued Bellamy.<ref name="Pirates" />

One month later, Bellamy and Batilla met again, ready to take the ''Whydah''. Bellamy attacked the ''Whydah'' along with Batilla and Levasseur, taking the artifact for the Assassins and the ship for himself.<ref name="Pirates">''[[Assassin's Creed: Pirates]]''</ref> Afterwards, Bellamy and his crew converted the ''Whydah'' from a ten-gun galley to a twenty-eight gun galley.<ref name="Initiates">''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]''</ref>

===Deathsdfcfgngnnxnxxc ddUsing the Whydah, Bellamy subsequently plundered several ships near Virginia. Along with Bellamy's other ships, the Whydah then attempted to reach , off the coast of Rhode Island. With the weather worsening, the ships soon lost contact with each other. On 26 April 1717, while near , the Whydah was hit by a storm.===
* {{Quote|My friend. A lot has happened since we parted. I think our trick has worked, but I am now being hunted. The Whydah is an exceptional ship. It is fixed and manned with more cannons, and we have captured many prizes... but I am trapped in this character I have created, this fearless captain. My men are happy, yet I know the trail we are leaving behind us will be our doom. When they come for us, they will show no mercy.|A letter written by Bellamy.|Assassin's Creed: Pirates}}
Using the ''Whydah'', Bellamy subsequently plundered several ships near [[Virginia (state)|Virginia]]. Along with Bellamy's other ships, the ''Whydah'' then attempted to reach {{Wiki|Block Island}}, off the coast of [[Rhode Island]]. With the weather worsening, the ships soon lost contact with each other. On 26 April 1717, while near {{Wiki|Cape Cod}}, the ''Whydah'' was hit by a storm.<ref name="Initiates" />

It was at this time that the [[Templars]] attacked, believing that Bellamy still held the Fragment of Eden; however, he had passed it into Batilla's care shortly after taking the ship. In the cover of the storm, the Templars destroyed the ''Whydah'' and killed Bellamy and the entirety of his crew.<ref name="Pirates" />

* In 2015, his name was on a list of known British Assassins used by the Templar Isabelle Ardant.
