What happens
Red haired and with a fiery temper, the pirate Anne Bonny was captured together with her second husband Jack "Calico Jack" Rackham, captain of the pirate sloop Revenge. Bonny and Rackham fought Jonathan Barnet's troops fiercely but had to admit defeat as their crew was too drunk to fight and was ultimately captured. Rackham was hanged, but Bonny asked for mercy because of her pregnancy and was granted it. She was released not long after the birth of her son. The two of them have plagued the waters of the Caribbean for several months, seizing smaller vessels and looting them for an abundance of treasure. Bonny fought alongside the men, showing her competence and effectiveness in combat which gained her respect from her shipmates. This is a woman with skills we can use, either by making her an admiral or an advisor.
