Known as the "prophet of profit," Captain-Kidd is the descendant of Earth’s 17th century pirate William Kidd who was tasked by the Royal Navy as a privateer. It was Kidd’s own crew who mutinied against the Navy’s dominance and gave him the choice to either become their Captain or die. Kidd chose to embark on a pirate’s life of freedom and fortune and went on to be a driving force for forging "The Brotherhood." He also along with Captain James Mission founded the Pirate Colony, "Libertalia" that served as their unilateral base of piracy operations from 1670 to 1700.
