Charles Blastburn was originally a trader. He traded many goods, until one day when he had to make a special delivery for the EITC. He kept the delivery for himself, and incurred the wraith of the EITC. He was shipped off on a prison barge to the island of Rambleshack. Charles had heard of the kinds of punishment given to pirates, and wasn't about to get any of it. He broke out of the ship, and went adrift on the seas for a week before a ship with black sails found him. The Black Pearl. Unfortunately, the crew was not of pirates, the navy had captured the ship. Charles stowed away on the ship, and vowed to free it from the navy. From that moment on Charles Blastburn was known as a pirate.
