Milo van der Graaff, self-proclaimed "Honest Businessman and Friend", was a Dutch naval trader of dubious legality who operated in the West Indies in the early 18th century.
During this time, Milo contracted out work for the pirate Edward Kenway in a variety of manners, including sinking or capturing British[1] and Spanish naval warships,[2] as well as pirate hunters,[3] killing particular individuals,[4] and assisting his own trading fleet.[5] Eventually, both the Spanish and the British declared him a wanted man, forcing him to leave the West Indies.[6]
Kenway assisted him one final time, escorting him through four enemy fleets to safety. For all of his efforts, Van der Graaff rewarded Kenway with a set of extremely powerful Golden Flintlock Pistols, which he kept as his personal firearms.[6]
