James Kidd is a young lady with a long and checkered past. Not yet out of her teens, she is a cocky and confident lady with a brashness cultivated to counter her youth. She also claims to be the bastard daughter of the late William Kidd, the infamous privateer-turned-pirate who was captured and hanged by British authorities in 1701. Although James has no proof of this connection, her mother always insisted on it, claiming that she spent a single “panicked night of passion” with Captain Kidd just before his departure from London in 1695.
Growing up fatherless and with a spendthrift mother did little to improve her prospects at leading a normal life, and by the age of 12 she had found employment aboard merchant vessels sailing between the British colonies in North America and the West Indies. By the time she was 17, James called Jamaica her home, and she further honed her skills as a sailor here.
Although she never sailed with the likes of Ben Hornigold, Ed Thatch, or Edward Kenway, James was among the first sailors to settle in Nassau, and was a crucial figure in its development as a republic.
