| A '''pirate hunter''' is a sailor who tracks down and captures or kills pirates at the behest of various local governments and empires.
| |
| | |
| Using a variety of [[ships]], ranging from [[Schooner|schooners]] to [[Man O' War|Men O' War]], pirate hunters would follow and attack their targets after the pirate had become notorious enough. Easily recognizable by their crimson sails and black-and-red hulls, hunters wore brown outfits with red accents, and were often converted pirates. [[Benjamin Hornigold]] was one such pirate hunter, working to eliminate his former allies after he joined the [[Templars|Templar Order]] in 1718. His two lieutenants, [[Josiah Burgess]] and [[John Cockram]], joined him in his task, and succeeded in killing the pirate Captain [[Howell Davis]] in [[Príncipe]] the following year.

| During his career as a pirate, [[Edward Kenway]] would occasionally attract the attention of the pirate hunters, even going so far as to purposely lure a group of hunters to his location while completing a mission on the behalf of the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[Merchants|merchant]] [[Milo van der Graaff]].

| | |
| During the Seven Years War, the Templar [[Shay Cormac]], in a way, functioned as a Pirate Hunter, being a Privateer at the same time in the Royal Navy aboard his ship the ''[[Morrigan]]'', eliminating the Pirates [[Joseph Reed]] and [[William Crest]] as well destroying their Men O' War, the ''[[Pilgrim]]'' and the ''[[Cauldron]]'', destroying the last remnants of Piracy in the Atlantic.
