Captain '''Tom Phillips''' was the captain of the [[Royal African Company]] [[slavery|slave]] [[ship]] ''[[Black Ivory]]'' in the early 1720s. After a long career as part of the [[Royal Navy]], he decided to work in a more lucrative field. Described as capable and charismatic, Phillips was someone who cared little about the nature of his cargo or the safety of his crew, only seeking to put aside enough money for a peaceful retirement.<ref name="Boarding">''[[Assassin's Creed Roleplaying Game]] – [[Legacy of the Brotherhood]]'' – [[The Boarding of the Black Ivory]]</ref>

==Biography==
In 1722, the ''Black Ivory'' was used as bait for [[Edward Kenway]] and [[Adéwalé]] by [[Templars|Templar]] [[Jeffrey Bloodworth]], who meant to eliminate the pair using his [[Royal Bounty|own ship]] while the ''[[Jackdaw]]'' and the ''Black Ivory'' were occupied with each other. Phillips and his crew defended his ship bravely, though despite having superior numbers compared to the attacking Jackdaw, their losses were severe. Phillips wished to keep fighting but was knocked out by his crew, who had had enough of the bloodshed, allowing the pirates to comandeer the ship.<ref name="Boarding"/>
