In the end though, it was clear that Blackbeard saw her as a pawn like everyone else, as he was perfectly willing to threaten and sacrifice her in order to get what he wanted, especially when he chose to save himself rather than his own child, which ultimately resulted in his death.īlackbeard has also shown to have very little regard for the life of mermaids, viewing them as insentient beings. Blackbeard even told Jack Sparrow that his daughter was the only good thing he's ever done in his life. After his vicious pirate years, he devoted himself into teaching her the ways of a worthy pirate, teaching her his ways of sword-fighting and various other skills. On rare occasions, he has shown to have a form of affection for his daughter, Angelica Teach, having her entrusted under the care of nuns to ensure her well being. The pirate was known to be argumentative and cruel to his prisoners, often torturing them mostly for his own selfish amusement, even admitting that seeing anguish, pain and suffering make him closer to God.

The dark captain sailed the seas and, as the years passed, his age began to catch up with him.

If I don't kill a man every now and then, they forget who I am. And what fate befall mutineers? Now, we know the answer to that, do we not? Mutineers. What be that, first mate? (Angelica: Mutiny, Captain.) Again? (Angelica: Mutiny!) Aye. Sailors abandoning their post without orders, without leave.
