Blackbeard

Blackbeard, or Edward Teach, was one of the most feared pirates in history. He put lit cannon fuses under his hat so that there has always smoke around his face. One day while playing cards with his best friend Israel Hand he blew out the candle, crawled underneath the table, and shot Hand's kneecap off. Hand was crippled for life after that. After he was finally captured by the British Navy, he demanded hand to hand combat with the Fleets commander. It took 20 cutlass and five gunshots to kill him.
