	Little is known of Burgess' life prior to his becoming a pirate. By 1718, he, along with Cockram and Hornigold, had become dissatisfied with the state of Nassau, feeling it had turned into an unbearable slum. As such, Burgess eagerly accepted the [[United Kingdom\|British]] Crown's pardon, offered to him by [[Woodes Rogers]], and was then invited to join the Templars in their attempts to restore order in the region.<ref name="Parlay">''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'' – [[We Demand a Parlay]]</ref>		Little is known of Burgess' life prior to his becoming a pirate.
