'''Adéwalé''' (1692 – unknown) was a former [[Slavery|slave]]-turned-[[Piracy|pirate]] from [[Trinidad]], and later a member of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]].

During the early 18th century, he served as [[Edward Kenway]]'s quartermaster aboard the ''[[Jackdaw]]'', before eventually assuming the captaincy of his own vessel, the ''[[Victoire]]'', and later the ''[[Experto Crede]]'', in 1735. That year, he briefly set aside his duties as an Assassin in order to aid the [[Maroon rebellion]] on [[Haiti|Saint Domingue]].

He was the grandfather of the Assassin [[Eseosa]], and is an ancestor to [[Milton Jones]].<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Initiates]]''</ref>

'''Edward Thatch''' (c. 1680 – 1718), also known as '''Edward Teach''', or by the alias '''Blackbeard''', was an infamous [[United Kingdom|English]] [[Piracy|pirate]] captain who sailed the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] and the eastern seaboard of the American colonies during the early 18th century, aboard the ship ''[[Queen Anne's Revenge]]''.

In 2013, his [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] were used as an Animi Avatar by the [[Abstergo Entertainment|entertainment branch]] of the [[Templars|Templar]] company [[Abstergo Industries]], to influence the general public via the [[Animus]] game console, under the title of [[Blackbeard (Animi Avatar)|Blackbeard]].

==Biography==
===Early life===
Edward Thatch .

===Piracy===
In 1715, Thatch, Hornigold and [[Mary Read|James Kidd]] met with Edward Kenway in [[Nassau]]. There, the four discussed their plans to free the city of its British garrison and turn it into their very own Pirate Republic. Thatch, with the assistance of Kenway, arranged for the capture and subsequent use of a [[Spanish Navy|Spanish]] [[Man O' War|galleon]], ''[[El Arca Del Maestro]]'', as a fortified defense of one of the island's harbors.

A few years later, Thatch once again met with Hornigold and Kenway to discuss the stagnation in growth that had hit Nassau. They determined that the town needed medicines to survive, but that attacking British warships to obtain said medicine was likely to draw too much attention, especially given the Crown's renewed focus on eliminating the pirate threat in the [[Caribbean]].

Despite these circumstances, Thatch's displeasure with their immediate success, or lack thereof, spurred him into assaulting a British Man O' War to take its medicine supply. He subsequently had to be saved by Kenway, who helped him to capture the ship.

In 1718, Thatch and Kenway traveled to the British colony at [[Charleston|Charles-Towne]] in order to procure a large amount of medicine, which had been sourced to the town by a box found in the captured Man O' War. By the time Kenway arrived, the ''Queen Anne's Revenge'' had been blockading the town for seven days and had taken several hostages, encouraging Charles-Towne to surrender its medicine. To Thatch's disappointment, there had been no response, and the party he sent to bargain with the governor had not returned.

With Kenway's arrival, they successfully procured the needed medicine. However, when Kenway suggested they return to Nassau, Thatch declined, saying he would be traveling north for business. Kenway inferred that Thatch had no plans to return to Nassau, which Thatch confirmed, saying that he intended to go into retirement.

===Death===
{{Quote|In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!|Edward Thatch's last words, 1718.|Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag}}
After the blockade of Nassau by British forces, Kenway and Vane tracked Thatch down to [[Ocracoke Island|Ocracoke]] to convince him to return, to no avail. While Vane swore him off, Kenway was more understanding, saying he did not begrudge Thatch his choice. In thanks, Thatch informed him that the [[Sages|Sage]] [[Bartholomew Roberts]] was rumored to be sailing on a slaver ship called ''[[Princess]]''.

Later that evening, two Royal Navy vessels under Lt. Robert Maynard - who had also tracked down Thatch - launched an ambush, destroying the small settlement and forcing Thatch and Kenway to make their escape. The two soon realized, however, that they would need to capture the attacking Man O' War in order to leave safely, and subsequently boarded it.

Despite their best efforts, the pirates were soon overwhelmed; surrounded and outnumbered, Kenway saw that Thatch was in danger and threw him a pistol, but Thatch was slain after a prolonged and bloody engagement, though Kenway and Vane were able to escape.<ref name="AC4">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]''</ref>
