Blackbeard T'Lia

Blackbeard was a very notorious pirate. To add to his imposing looks, he would light cannon fuses that had been dipped in lime water or salt peter and stuff them under the edge of his hat (some say in his beard).The smoke would encircle his head and certainly give him an intimidating flair.Blackbeard was always well-armed with three braces of cocked and primed pistols, daggers, and two cutlasses. It is said that he had around 14 wives: wedding adoad ships were common.He once had himself and several crewmembers locked in the hold with burning pots of brimstone to see who could withstand the fumes the longest, and blackbeard won. It was ironic that not ver much information was found about blackbeard.It seems that Blackbeard rarely passed by an opportunity to build his reputation and persona as a devilish fiend, but first hand reports seem to suggest that was more of a carefully crafted tool of the trade. Most accounts suggest that he was generally kind to those who were cooperative with him but intolerant of those who were not. There is no record, however, of his murdering anyone in his plundering.
