- "To surrender? I've been entrusted with the affairs of the town, and I do not intend to bow to the demands of a pirate, no matter how fierce his reputation."
- ―Wyatt refusing to accept Edward Thatch's demands, 1718.[src]
Wyatt (unknown – May 1718) was the governor of the British colony of Charles-Towne, until his death in 1718.
During his tenure as the governor of Charles-Towne, he was asked by the pirate Edward Thatch for medicines for syphilis and scurvy, diseases which severely affected the inhabitants of Nassau. Wyatt refused to give medicines to the pirate, which prompted Thatch to capture several residents of the colony and blockade it for a week.
The governor still refused to give medicines to the pirates, which prompted Thatch's associate, Edward Kenway, to infiltrate Charles-Towne aboard his ship, the Jackdaw, following three soldiers who were about to meet Wyatt. When tailing Wyatt, the guards spotted the Jackdaw near the town, raising an alarm and revealing Edward's presence. A frightened Wyatt began to run to his mansion, but was chased down and killed by Kenway in the process, allowing Kenway to retrieve a supply key from him, and take the medicines.
