Milo van der Graaff, self-proclaimed "Honest Businessman and Friend", was a naval trader, of dubious legality, operating in the West Indies during the early 18th century.
During this time, Milo enlisted the assistance of the pirate Edward Kenway in a variety of manners, including sinking or capturing British and Spanish naval warships, killing particular individuals, and alleviating his own trading fleet. Eventually, both the Spanish and the British declared him a wanted man, forcing him to leave the West Indies.
Trivia
- Milo is related to the name Miles, which is Latin word for "soldier"; it has, however, been also suggested to be a derivation of Slavic mil, meaning "grace, gracious." His surname is composed of the Dutch words van, der and Graaf, meaning "from, of", "the" and "count".
