Blackbeard, the notorious pirate known as Edward Teach, ruled the Caribbean Sea during the early 18th century. Despite his short reign of terror, his legend has endured through the ages. Teach was a fearsome pirate with a commanding presence, adorned with a long black beard and fear-inducing pyrotechnics. With his flagship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, he captured countless ships and amassed a vast fortune. Blackbeard's reputation for brutality and his signature tactic of setting his beard alight to intimidate his foes made him one of the most formidable pirates in maritime history.
