- "If you had fought like a man, you needn't be hanged like a dog."
- ―Anne Bonny speaking to Jack Rackham before his execution.[1]
Anne Bonny (1702 – unknown) was an Irish pirate who operated out of the Caribbean. During the Golden Age of Piracy, she was an associate of Edward Kenway prior to his life as an Assassin, and the second quartermaster aboard his ship, the Jackdaw.[2]
History
As early as 1715, Bonny served as barkeep at a tavern in Nassau, frequented by its pirate governors, Edward Thatch, Benjamin Hornigold, Jack Rackham, Charles Vane and Edward Kenway. By 1718, Rackham flirtatiously passed Bonny her first flintlock pistol, shortly before British forces arrived in Nassau.
In 1719, Mary Read recruited Bonny to become a pirate and together, they committed acts of piracy against the British Royal Navy.
In October of 1720, Jack Rackham and his crew, including Bonny, was attacked by a British sloop commissioned by the Governor of Jamaica, with the intent to take out Rackham. Being that most of the crew were drunk, many of the pirates provided little resistance, yet Bonny, Mary Read, and an unknown man fought to their full potential.[2]
Eventually, the crew was imprisoned and sentenced to be hanged. Bonny and Read were only spared that fate because they were pregnant at the time, since British law prevented pregnant women from being executed.[2]
The two were rescued by Edward and Ah Tabai, however Mary passed away from sickness following the birth of her child; Anne soon gave birth, but her child passed away soon after. Following Adéwalé's departure to join the Assassins, she became Edward's quartermaster aboard the Jackdaw. She stood by his side as he hunted down his targets: Woodes Rogers, Bartholomew Roberts and Laureano de Torres y Ayala.[2]
The Jackdaw first landed in Kingston and Edward and Bonny met with the assassin bureau leader, Anto, who reported that Rogers was hosting a party before his recall to London for falling out favour with the King; Bonny remarked that the King must be displeased that Rogers hadn't fully purged the Carribean of pirates. Bonny remained at the bureau while Edward assassinated and impersonated a visiting Italian diplomat to assassinate Rogers.[2]
After discerning Roberts' location in Principe, the Jackdaw pursued his ship, the Royal Fortune. Though Bonny suggested they simply sink the galleon, Edward refused her, as Roberts possessed a valuable crystal skull, so he instead crippled it before boarding and assassinating Roberts.[2]
They then returned to Havana to find Torres. Bonny stayed at the local bureau while Edward tracked down his final target, only to return to report that the man he assassinated was a decoy. Deducing that Torres was headed for the Observatory, Edward decided to head there. Upon arriving, Bonny questioned why bring the crystal skull when it is what Torres sought. Edward answered that he intended to taunt the Grand Master with it.[2]
Edward and Bonny then swarm ashore and made their way through the jungle, freeing captive native guardians before arriving at the Observatory's entrance. Edward instructed Bonny to remain outside and guard the entrance as well as protect the crystal skull, while he ventured inside to end Torres. Once the task was done, Bonny accompanied Ah Tabai and Adéwalé into the complex, where the crystal skull was reinserted back into its rightful place. Edward then stated his intention to recover the missing blood vials before he would return home to mend his relationship with his wife, Caroline. Ah Tabai then gave him a letter, revealing that Caroline had past away and that he had a daughter, Jennifer Scott.[2]
They then returned to Great Inagua, where they awaited Jennifer's arrival. Edward invited Bonny to return to London with him, but she refused the offer, also claiming she didn't feel she possessed the conviction to remain with the Assassins. However, Bonny did tell Edward that she considered him a good man and felt he could prove himself a good father in time as well. As Edward ventured down to the docks to greet his daughter, Bonny began singing a song.[2]
