>>103970295Jack was scared most of the time, but that keeped him on his toes
The first thing that convinced me he's not just vane's sidekick was that when on his first job as a captain him and another pirate ship abridged the same vessel jack had to either fight with them and lose since he had less men, or agree to split the loot, get jack shit and never be a captain again since his reputation was already flimsy, so after sitting down with the other pirate captain and writing down the rules and splitting of the loot, Jack poured out wine on the book to make it unreadable, Killed the capitan and lied that the other cap wanted to kill all of the crew of the aboarded ship, and by killing he he became a savior to these guys and they agreed to join him if the other crew still wanted the fight, but no he had more men
Also, in the end he was the one that got all of the Urca's gold
TL;DR jack's a smart cunt
