Tobias "Deadman" Smith was born near the settlement of Bridgetown in Barbados. He was orphaned at a young ande and spend a tumultuous and difficult childhood in poverty, as a beggar. When a teenager, Smith was grabbed one night and pressganged to serve the British Navy during the War of Spanish Succession. After some time suffering through the war, he was taken by pirates when the ship he was on was attacked.
The pirates were less cruel than his former masters, and taught Smith to fight. Due to his slight build from constant malnourishment while growing, he was mediocre at close quarters combat. However, he had an immediate affinity for big weaponry and became a deadly Master Gunner.
Eventually Smith's ship was captured by the British. Rather than be tried and hung with the rest of his crew, he was imprisoned and tortured by sadistic British fort Commander Cyrus. Smith survived weeks of misery at the hands of Cyrus, before being nailed inside a box and shipped off to serve as master gunner for British pirate hunter Lieutenant Robert Maynard.
However, before the ship could reach its destination it was attacked by the pirate Edward Kenway, and Smith was rescued. He and Kenway later joined forces to take revenge on Cyrus.
