Who is Stede Bonnet?
Stede Bonnet was a real pirate in the 1700s. He was an apprentice of Black Beard before he rose up against him. Bonnet was highly educated, and very suave, and is commonly referred to as The Gentleman Pirate. Fictionally, Stede Bonnet is the ancestor of Jason Bonnet in Nautical Contraband. Watch for the release of DeUmbra in early 2005 for the complete story of Stede Bonnet and his ultimate ties to the Krewe of Jupiter.
