Sir Henry Morgan was a Welsh privateer born in 1635. While working for England, he attacked Spanish possessions including Jamaica, Venezuela, and Panama. Among his accomplishments in life were helping write the Pirate code of the Brethren with "Bartholomew" at the dawn of the golden age of piracy,[1] becoming a knight of England, and being appointed lieutenant governor of Jamaica.
Morgan died in Port Royal in 1688. The official diagnosis was dropsy, but historians believe he might have contracted tuberculosis while in England or had liver failure due to heavy drinking.
Upon his death, his soul was imprisoned in the Buccaneer's Heart until freed by Will Turner.[2]
