	It was here, in the [[Piracy\|pirates]]' infamous [[Republic of Pirates\|republic]], that Stede met and befriended Captain [[Edward Thatch\|Thatch]], the infamous and capable captain who had recently taken to calling himself Blackbeard.

Born into plentitude and wealth on Barbados, [[Stede Bonnet]] seemed destined for a life of pleasure and ease. The son of a successful and influential [[plantation]] owner, his early life was marked by tragedy when his parents died suddenly, leaving seven year-old Stede orphaned and in a perpetual state of melancholy.

	His inheritance of some 400 acres of land softened the blow caused by the loss of his parents, and by the time Stede was in his late teens, he had already restored the sugar plantation to a profitable state. He married young and set about starting a family as soon as possible, but owing to what some called a "disorder of the mind" he never found solace or comfort in these domestic trappings.

	To further complicate his unease, his firstborn son died in infancy, further amplifying his grief and stiming his restlessness. As a means of coping, he dreamed of going to sea and sailing about the world, meeting people, living life as a man free of the obligations thrust upon him...

	At some point around Stede's 29th birthday, his restlessness got the better of him. Owing to "some discomfort he found in a married state" which brought on a "disorder of the mind", Stede decided it was time to take his first bold ~~stept~~ into the life he had always dreamed about. Using his considerable fortune, he either purchased a boat or had one built for ~~him -- a~~ small schooner he christened "The Revenge".

	To maintain some semblance to the comforts he had come to enjoy as a man of means, he installed a full library in the Captain's quarters, and packed his wardrobe with all manner of ~~finery --~~ silk pajamas, smoking ~~jackets~~, and ~~frocks~~. Near the end of 1717, his ship was ready. He bid adieu to his wife and remaining children and weighed anchor, sailing north from Barbados, hoping to reach the British colonies within a few months.

	Now sailing under the moniker "Captain Edwards", Bonnet sailed about the [[Caribbean\|West Indies]] looking for his first prize. Spotting a large Spanish warship, his crew foolishly encouraged an attack. After a brief engagement, almost half of Bonnet's crew was dead or injured. Miraculously, the Revenge was able to escape capture herself, and Bonnet ordered the crew to sail her to the only place he knew he could find refuge: Nassau.
