	'''Woodes Rogers''' (c. 1679 – 1732) was an [[England\|English]] [[privateer]], the first Royal Governor of [[the Bahamas]], and a member of the [[West Indies Rite of the Templar Order\|West Indies Rite]] of the [[Templars\|Templar Order]] during the early 18th century.		'''Woodes Rogers''' (c. 1679 – 1732) was an [[England\|English]] [[privateer]], the first Royal Governor of [[the Bahamas]],<ref name="Wiki"/> and a member of the [[West Indies Rite of the Templar Order\|West Indies Rite]] of the [[Templars\|Templar Order]] during the early 18th century.

	Born into a wealthy seafaring family, Rogers took to the sea as a young man. He later inherited his father's shipping company, though financial problems prompted him to become a privateer in the [[Americas\|New World]]. After an eventful three-year expedition, during which he gained his trademark facial scar, Rogers returned to England in 1711.

After an eventful three-year expedition, during which he gained his trademark facial scar, Rogers returned to England in 1711.

	Gaining much fame and wealth thanks to his memoirs, Rogers decided to return to the sea after only two years, in part to escape his turbulent home life. From 1713 to 1714, he led a successful expedition to [[Madagascar]] to rid the island of its [[Piracy\|pirate]] occupants, and later attempted to do the same in the [[Caribbean\|West Indies]]. In the process, he met [[Cuba]]n governor [[Laureano de Torres y Ayala]], who inducted Rogers into the ~~Templar Order~~ in 1715.

	In 1718, Rogers was appointed Governor of the Bahamas by King [[George I of Great Britain]] and traveled to [[Nassau]] to offer the King's pardon to its inhabitants. His mission was a success and resulted in the collapse of Nassau's nascent [[Republic of Pirates\|Pirate Republic]], whereupon Rogers set about restoring order to the city. He also aided the Templars' efforts to locate the [[Observatory (Isu)\|Observatory]], until an attempt on his life by the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Edward Kenway]] in 1721 left him grievously wounded.

With his reputation restored, Rogers was granted a generous pension by the King and was appointed Governor of the Bahamas for a second term, a post he held from 1728 until his death in 1732.<ref name="Database" />		Eventually, Rogers was released from prison after his debts were absolved and spent the next few years trying to rebuild his wealth and reputation.
