	Edward Thatch was likely born in [[Bristol]], England, in 1680. Little is known of his early years until the [[War of the Spanish Succession]] in 1701, when he served as a [[privateer]] for the [[Royal Navy]] in the Caribbean.<ref name="Database">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Database: Edward "Blackbeard" Thatch]]</ref> During the war, Thatch met [[Benjamin Hornigold]], [[Edward Kenway]],<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[Now Hiring]]</ref> ~~and~~ [[Charles Vane]].<ref name="The Forts">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[The Forts]]</ref>		Edward Thatch was likely born in [[Bristol]], England, in 1680.

	In January 1713, Thatch and his crew came to the rescue of the ''[[Amazon Galley]]'', a [[ship]] belonging to the [[East India Company]], when it was being boarded by the crew of the ''[[Emperor]]''. The pirates were soon overpowered by the privateers and the soldiers, and only two of them were left alive. [[Blaney]], one of the remaining pirates decided to join Thatch's crew, and asked if he could kill Edward Kenway, the other survivor. Thatch told them to have a [[Fist\|fistfight]] instead, with Kenway emerging victorious. However, when Blaney attempted to cheat, he was shot by Thatch, and Kenway was recruited into Thatch's crew.<ref name="AC4Book">''[[Assassin's Creed: Black Flag]]''</ref>		In January 1713, Thatch and his crew came to the rescue of the ''[[Amazon Galley]]'', a [[ship]] belonging to the [[East India Company]], when it was being boarded by the crew of the ''[[Emperor]]''.

	*There was confusion as to Thatch's real surname, with various historical sources spelling his surname as either "Teach, Theach, Tache, Titche, Teatch [or] Tack"; one early source even claims his surname was Drummond. In reference to this, one lieutenant in ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' refers to him as "Edward Teach".<ref name="AC4" /> The database entry for [[Dead Chest Island]] in ''[[Assassin's Creed III]]'' uses the name "Edward Teach".<ref name="Dead Chest Island" />		*There was confusion as to Thatch's real surname, with various historical sources spelling his surname as either "Teach, Theach, Tache, Titche, Teatch [or] Tack"; one early source even claims his surname was Drummond.

	*In 2013, [[Abstergo Entertainment]] announced the possibility of a stage production, ~~titled~~ ''Blackbeard: The Musical'', to be in the beginning stages of development.

	*[[Mark Bonnar]] came up with Blackbeard's voice by browsing ''[http://www.bbc.co.uk/voices BBC Voices]'' and emulating the voices of older residents from Bristol. He expressed difficulty maintaining the accent, as sometimes he felt he sounded too [[Ireland\|Irish]]. He also channeled his portrayal of the ape in a radio version of ''{{Wiki\|The Murders in the Rue Morgue}}'' for the character's growls.<ref>{{Youtube\|video=7aSDSPQUSv0\|text=The Assassin's Den - ft.
