Even though he was not the most successful, feared and hated sea-robber, legendary Blackbeard is probably not only the most famous pirate of the Caribbean, but also the most famous pirate captain of all time. As a notorious figure and a villain, he has been the main subject of many stories, books and movies in modern fiction.
In appearance, he was most notable and terrifying because of the long black beard which covered almost his whole face. For amusement, he used to separate it into the tails, each one tied with a differently colored ribbon. Speaking of his image, Teach was always wearing a sling with three pairs of pistols strung across his breast in addition to cutlass and few knives in his belt. An opposing crew often surrendered only by a sight of this seafaring pirate, although some rumors go that he was very generous with the people who cooperated with him. Intelligent and astute for a pirate, he was well educated, and he could read and write. He was also famous for his weakness for women. It is said that he had around 14 wives and that only his last marriage to 14-years-old Mary Ormond was legitimate.
