Edward Thatch[1] (c. 1680 – 1718), more commonly known as Edward Teach or the alias Blackbeard, was an infamous pirate captain who sailed the West Indies and the American Colonies during the early 18th century, on the ship Queen Anne's Revenge.
Thatch met his fate at the hands of Royal Navy Lieutenant Robert Maynard and his crew, in May 1718.[2] Thatch was also a contemporary and associate of Edward Kenway.
Trivia
- Lead Writer Darby McDevitt stated on his Twitter feed that the developers would be using the name Edward Thatch over the more commonly accepted Edward Teach, when referring to Blackbeard in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.[1]
- However, this contradicts a database entry in Assassin's Creed III, which states his name as "Edward Teach."
