Henry Morgan

Henry Morgan is the most notorious (1st most famous) Pirate in the game starting out. He has a special Large Frigate named Queen Anne's Revenge, though Queen Anne's Revenge actually belonged to Blackbeard historically. Despite his notoriety, his dueling skill isn't too impressive. Like all other Famous Pirates, he has a home port that can be found at random or revealed by tavern folk. Having collected the most money out of the other 8 top pirates, he also carries the most with him (over 30,000 gold) and has the most valuable buried treasure, worth 10,000 gold.

The Real Henry Morgan
Like all other famous Pirates, Henry Morgan was a real pirate. Famed for his cruelty and naval prowess, Morgan was from Wales and was actually an Admiral of the Royal Navy. He was eventually discharged from the Navy after his many cruel acts. On one occasion, while sacking a Spanish town, he came across many inhabitants with expensive rings. Unable to remove them naturally, he had their fingers cut off instead to collect them. Read more on the article of Henry Morgan on Wikipedia.
