'''Edward Teach''', better known as Blackbeard (1680? - November 22, 1718) was a famous pirate who was so named because of his thick black beard, which he usually used to light with fuses so he would appear more monstrous to those he faced and make him more feared. He was also known to shoot his crew on occasion, which helped lead to his downfall. Blackbeard was notorious for kidnapping people, he was ruthless, selfish, and greedy, to the point where towards the end he started to kill off part his crew to increase his share of the plunder. During his life, Blackbeard had around fourteen different wives. | '''Edward Teach''', better known as Blackbeard (1680? - November 22, 1718) was a famous pirate who was so named because of his thick black beard, which he usually used to light with fuses so he would appear more monstrous to those he faced and make him more feared.
