Charles Vane (c.1680 – 1721) was an English pirate captain who sailed the West Indies on his brigantine,The Ranger, making a name for himself by targeting English,Spanish and French Shipping Industries from 1716 until 1719.
After arriving in Nassau in 1717, where he and Jack Rackham informed Edward Kenway of a large prize in a nearby fort, Vane became a leading member of Nassau's community.
He was also present when Woodes Rogers arrived in Nassau to offer all pirates there the King's pardon, allowing them to be absolved of their crimes. Contrary to Benjamin Hornigold, Vane was not keen on the idea of taking the pardon, and he worked with Kenway to orchestrate an escape from Nassau.
When Edward Thatch announced his retirement, Vane tried to talk him out of it, but failed in his attempt. Edward met with him after Thatch's death, and Vane decided to help him find the Observatory. They found the Royal African Pearl, a slave ship belonging to the Royal African Company, hoping to find information on the Sage Bartholomew Roberts, but Vane's ship - Ranger - was demasted and left to drift.
Following Royal African Pearl's eventual capture, Jack Rackham and the Ranger's surviving crew mutinied against Vane, commandeering Jackdaw, and leaving Edward and Vane marooned near Isla Providencia.
During their time on the island, Vane became increasingly suspicious of Edward, and soon turned against him completely. Due to Vane's increasingly deadly antics, Edward beat him down,avoiding killing him and abandoned him when he saw a chance to escape the island.
He was later found by British soldiers and taken to Port Royal, where he was imprisoned, and eventually executed in 1721.
