| '''Barnes''' (unknown – December 1717) was a [[Ships|ship]] [[Captains|captain]] and a member of the [[Templars|Templar Order]], active in the [[Caribbean|West Indies]] during the [[Golden Age of Piracy|early 18th century]].

| ==Biography==
| |
| ===Merchant of the West Indies===
| |
| In June 1716, Barnes' ship, the was attacked by the [[Piracy|pirate]] [[Olivier Levasseur|La Buse]], who was looking for new recruits. Having lost his crew in the attack, Barnes revealed that he had two prisoners aboard, a [[France|French]] deserter, [[Alonzo Batilla]] and an escaped [[Slavery|slave]], [[Jumao]]. La Buse freed the prisoners, taking them on board, and sank Barnes' ship, but the Templar managed to survive.
| |
| | |
| In January 1717, Batilla, now a [[Piracy|pirate]] unknowingly working with the [[Assassins]], was told by [[Samuel Bellamy]] that the slaver [[Laurens Prins]] carried a [[Fragment of Eden|treasure]] of great value and that only one merchant knew the projected route that Prins' ship, the ''[[Whydah]]'', was going to take. Heading for [[Havana]], Batilla met Barnes again, who under intimidation gave him the map of the ''Whydah''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s route. Later, when La Buse and Batilla captured the [[slave ships|slave ship]] with Bellamy, they discovered that the treasure was in fact a [[Pieces of Eden|Piece of Eden]], possessed by Bellamy's enemies, the Templars.

| ===Tracking La Buse===

| |
| Some months later, when the Templars heard that Bellamy had entrusted La Buse with the artifact, they put Barnes in charge of a [[Spain|Spanish]] fleet with the task of finding him and recovering the stolen artifact; soon, the rumor spread that La Buse had died, having sunk with his ship, ''[[Le Postillon]]'', near the island of [[La Boca del Diablo]]. Seeking retribution, Batilla attacked the slaver [[Forts|fort]] in which the Templars were hiding and subsequently captured Barnes, only to learn that Levasseur was not dead and had in fact used the artifact against the Templars, killing most of his assailants and taking one of their ships to an unknown location. Having heard the story of La Buse's survival and receiving his journal, Batilla decided to spare Barnes, telling him that their next encounter would be their last.
| |
| | |
| In an ironic set of circumstances, in December 1717, when Barnes reunited in [[Mayaguana]] with two of his fellow Templars, [[Christopher Condent]] and [[Benjamin Hornigold]], his associates shot him for his failures, regarding him as a loose end. But Batilla, arriving soon after Condent shot Barnes, routed the two Templars and recovered a severely injured Barnes, who told Alonzo in his dying breath that he might find his friend in [[Harbor Island]].
