John “Calico Jack” Rackham redefined the art of piracy. His career began under Captain Charles Vane, until Jack staged a mutiny and took control, destined for more adventurous pursuits. Calico Jack was the kind of man who set his own course and followed it however he saw fit. He went on to create the Jolly Roger flag and that black banner emblazoned with skull and cross swords, striking fear in the hearts of men everywhere should they be unfortunate enough for Calico Jack to approach.
