Earlier this month, Ubisoft teamed up with VICE to supply a 3 episode series that explored the true pirate legends that inspired the arena of Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag. Remember that, the series was as entertaining because it have been educational. Now the ultimate episode is finally here.

In the overall episode of Rum, Guns and Gallows, VICE traveled to Port Royal, Jamaica to be told more about Calico Jack. Although not as ruthless as Charles Vane or as infamous as Blackbeard, Calico Jack left a large mark on history. His most renowned exploit involved the capture of The Kingston – a huge merchant vessel that he commanded for under three months.

Calico Jack can be credited with the popularization of the Jolly Roger, or the skull and cross bones. His design replaced the cross bones with swords and have become instantly recognizable as his calling card. It was partially because of Calico Jack that the Jolly Roger has survived as a piratical symbol for so long as it has.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag launches on October 29 for the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U. The computer, Xbox One and PS4 versions all launch later in November.
