'''Charles Vane''' (c.1680 – 1721) was an [[United Kingdom|English]] pirate captain who sailed the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] from 1716 until 1719.<br />
<br />
After arriving in [[Nassau]] in 1717, where he and [[Jack Rackham]] informed [[Edward Kenway]] of a large prize in a nearby fort, Vane became a leading member of Nassau's community.<br />
<br />
He was also present when [[Woodes Rogers]] arrived in Nassau to offer all pirates there the King's pardon, allowing them to be absolved of their crimes. Contrary to [[Benjamin Hornigold]], Vane was not keen on the idea of taking the pardon, and he worked with Kenway to orchestrate an escape from Nassau.<br />
<br />
When [[Edward Thatch]] announced his retirement, Vane tried to talk him out of it, but failed in his attempt. Edward met with him after Thatch's death, and Vane decided to help him find the [[Observatory]]. They found the ''[[Royal African Pearl]]'', a slave ship belonging to the [[Royal African Company]], hoping to find information on the [[Sage]] [[Bartholomew Roberts]], but Vane's ship - ''[[Ranger]]'' - was demasted and left to drift.<br />
<br />
Following ''Royal African Pearl'''s eventual capture, Jack Rackham and the Ranger's surviving crew mutinied against Vane, commandeering ''Jackdaw'', and leaving Edward and Vane marooned near [[Isla Providencia]]. During their time on the island, Vane became increasingly suspicious of Edward, and soon turned against him completely. Due to Vane's increasingly deadly antics, Edward left him out there when he saw a chance to escape.<br />
<br />
He was later found by British soldiers and taken to [[Port Royal]], where he was imprisoned, and eventually executed in 1721.<br />
