Alvaro (unknown – December 1716) was a Portuguese pirate hunter who tracked escaped slaves and pirates in the Caribbean during the early 18th century.
He first came into contact with the pirate Alonzo Batilla at Cozumel during his efforts to locate Jumao, though Alonzo was defiant in handing his fellow comrade over, prompting conflict between the two.
Following this encounter, Alvaro attempted to prevent Alonzo and Aaminah's attack on a fort at Isla de la Juventud, but was overcome by Alonzo's vessel, before swearing to return on their next meeting with a stronger fleet of ships.
In 1716, Alvaro tracked Batilla and his crew to the arctic sea, where the pirate was tracking a white whale. After he lost the following naval battle, Alvaro sank with his ship in the frozen depths, cursing Batilla with his last breath.
