Captain Kidd (Pirate)

Historical Background
Captain Kidd is a notorious pirate, originally from Scottland, who commanded a ship called the Adventure Galley. Although he became notorious after he was hung for his crimes, Kidd was not necessarily the most destructive or successful pirate in history, and seems to have turned to piracy only out of desperation. He was however, a murderer, and witnesses claim he was a brutal man. According to legend, he left behind a massive store of hidden treasure somewhere.
