Name:
- Jack Fletcher
- Crewman
- A.J. Deery
- Crew Representative
Jack Fletcher originally hails from Emerald Isle. Prior to joining the Black Pearl crew Jack
made his way about the islands of the Caribbean, mainly the island of Hispaniola, as a
buccaneer.
Jacks origins as to how he became a pirate are still clouded in mystery, and in
mystery is where he excels. He has spoken on occasion about his plight of being sentenced to
the colonies for reasons still unknown, but when the ship that he was captive on ran aground off
the island of Hispaniola, Jack made his escape into the island's fabled mountains.
Over time he befriended the native peoples of the island. He learned much from them including
there ways, customs, and beliefs. As years passed Jack began acting as a guide on the island
for various European traders and nations. He enjoyed this occupation and felt very at home
being apart of two different worlds. Jack's pirate past caught up with him, however, when the
powers that sought to sentence him to the colonies attacked his tribe. Upon being double
crossed by these various powers, Jack swore revenge on them all.
Often adorned with trinkets and items of an arcane nature he will often offer to fore tell the
future, cast a spell, or simply delight those he admires with feats of prestidigitation. From this
the name “Voodoo Jack” was born. Be it from a simple sailor’s superstitions or from
something else... this yet still remains a mystery.

Pirate History:
Buccaneers: These 'boucaniers' attacked ships, but not usually those of their own homeland. They were named after a French term 'boucan' (from the Indian
'bukan') -a hut in which a slow grill smoked or cooked meat. Their favoured form of attack was in long canoes or small single-masted barques. They packed the
boat with sharpshooters to fire at anyone trying to fire a cannon at them, and came from astern of the prize ship, giving a minimal target to aim at. They then jammed
the rudder and climbed up the stern of the ship, under the cover of a fusillade of musket-fire.
