Israel Hands was the loyal and able sailing master to Blackbeard during the pirate king's heyday. For several years he served his captain with courage and gusto, until Blackbeard's sudden death at the hands of the notorious British pirate hunter Lieutenant Robert Maynard. Left without a captain or ship, Hands ingratiated himself into another pirate crew working out of Havana.

Bitter at what he perceived as a lack of recognition, Hands engineered a mutiny against the captain of his new crew, wresting control of the ship and killing or marooning all who would not follow him.

Still simmering with resentment, Hands behand hunting any he perceived to have wronged him.
