Henry Morgan
The Knighted Buccaneer, Governor of Jamaica
Knighted for plunder, feared for fire, and still the Main trembles.
I’ve sacked cities and slept on cannon smoke, and now I dine with judges who’d sooner flay me than toast me. My past rides with me, always — in the ache of old wounds, the ghosts of Panama, and the gout that reminds me I’m no longer twenty and immortal. But don’t mistake the governor’s wig for weakness; I built this colony with cutlass and council, and I’ll see it stand.
What I'm Into: Letters of Marque, Port Royal's rowdy taverns, jungle ambushes, Spanish gold, my wife's disapproving silence
