Run boy run! The sun will be guiding you
Run boy run! They're dying to stop you
Run boy run! This race is a prophecy
Run boy run! Break out from society

Tomorrow is another day
And you won't have to hide away
You'll be a man, boy!
But for now it's time to run, it's time to run!

Run boy run! This ride is a journey to
Run boy run! The secret inside of you
Run boy run! This race is a prophecy
Run boy run! And disappear in the trees

- Woodkid, RUN BOY RUN

THE GENTLEMAN PIRATE
INTRODUCTION
Stede Bonnet is the fictionalized version of this guy, as portrayed on the HBO series, Our Flag Means Death. Generally, I take him from post-season two with all that brings of spoilers, so if you're not interested in being spoiled on the (presumed) ending of the series #bringbackofmd, let me know and I can play him from any point in the show.
BACKGROUND
Beginning in 1717, the story depicts Bonnet’s career as a pirate after abandoning his family and his comfortable life as a member of the landed gentry of Barbados. Bonnet is deemed to have little or no aptitude for this role, with no experience beyond that of his privileged life.

Aboard their ship, the Revenge, the newly-minted Captain Bonnet and his dysfunctional crew struggle to survive against deadly threats both from naval warships and other bloodthirsty pirates. During their misadventures, the crew of the Revenge cross paths with notorious pirate captain Edward Teach and his crew, including First Mate Izzy Hands.

Comedy and chaos ensue as Teach and Bonnet fall in love.

PERSONALITY
