Biography
In September 1722, Low captured the Jackdaw while its captain Edward Kenway was underwater in the diving bell, looking for the gold of a sank Spanish vessel, the Polvora. Threatening the lives of his crew, the infamous pirate forced Kenway to lift the rest of the treasure back to the surface. Unfortunately for him, Kenway trapped the bell which he had filled with barrels of gold but also with barrels of gunpowder. When Low and his men brought the diving bell back onto the ship, it exploded throwing the gold pieces like shrapnels on the assailants.
Using the distraction, Kenway sneaked on board the Jackdaw and released his men. Together they pushed the other pirates back on their own ship and an enraged Low prepared to fire with his cannons on the defenseless Jackdaw. However, Kenway had also placed several barrels of the Polvora on the deck of Low's ship, on which he fired upon with a rifle, causing considerable damage and neutralizing his rival.
