Captain Jeffrey Bloodworth, also known as Captain "Keelhauling" Jeff, was an English noble and member of the Templar Order. Single minded in his interests of hunting pirates and benefitting the Templar cause, Bloodworth travelled to the Caribbean and became the captain of the Royal Bounty. A man who compensated his lack of charisma and leadership with cruelty, Bloodworth received his moniker for his habit of keelhauling any prisoner captured. In 1722, he recovered a Ring of Eden from the spoils of a pirate vessel, a power that he quickly put into use.[1]
That same year, Bloodworth, aware of Assassin movement in the region, prepared a trap meant to eliminate Adéwalé and Edward Kenway: using the slave ship Black Ivory as bait, he would wait until it was engaged in combat by the Jackdaw and then attack with his own ship, which had superior weaponry. However, the pirates managed to comandeer the Black Ivory and, using both ships, reached the Royal Bounty and assassinated Bloodworth in spite of his use of the Ring.[1]
