Characters I

As I told you in the last post, this one will be the first of a serie of posts about the different and more important characters that appear in the novel “Pirate Latitudes” I hope you are reading it too! :)

In this post I’m going to mention two of the characters with a brief description of them, I think for this post will be only two characters because I have lots of things to say about them. And remember that you don’t have to agree with me in everysingle thing I say or write, you can express your opinion :)

The first character I’m gonna be talking about is Captain Charles Hunter, who is the privateer that leads the Cassandra on their journey for tresase. He was borned in 1627, Hunter is originally from Massachusetts Bay Colony, and studied in Harvard. He abandoned his home and religion at an early age to become one of the most successful and respected privateers in Port Royal Although generally a reasonable man of his word, Hunter doesn’t hesitate to use violence and threats to reach his goals, in this case wealth. Also it is mention that one of his brothers was murdered by Cazalla years before, allegedly by being castrated and choked to dead. In the end of the book, Hunter catches malaria during his long voyages to find Sanson’s treasure, and dies almost completely forgotten, in England in 1670, with a modest estate. 

The next one is Don Diego, or he is also called Black Eye or the Jew. He runs a jewelry shop in Port Royal; he is a very intelligent man, able to create and invent many instruments to suit his own need or the ones of his mates. In the past he also worked with gunpowder and armaments, costing him three fingers and permanently blackering his eye. Diego is also a Jewish man who lost a son because of the inquisition, in the epilogue of the store, he lives to a very old age until finally diying during the earthquake that flattened Port Royal.
