Pirates are characters in Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag.
Description[edit]
Criminals on the open sea who use coercion, intimidation and violence to rob innocent people of their cargo and transport The term pirate is a catch-all and may be used generally to refer to all who perform acts of larceny on the open ocean. Pirates have been a problem since the advent of long-distance ocean travel; every age has seen its share of pirates, and every age has cursed their name and romanticized their cause.
During the so-called "Golden Age of Piracy' (roughly 1650 to 1725), the majority of pirates were from the British Isles. Most were young men in their 20s and almost all had already gained some experience as sailors prior to falling into piracy.
