#he might be the pirate equivalent of a lamp but if he disappears the whole room goes dark

You wanna talk about an unsung hero of the Black Sails show? I'll tell you who it is.

He has put up with more shit than anyone else in this story. He was constantly asked to perform impossible tasks and delivered every time with a sour puss on his face. He was the quartermaster of one of the dumbest crews that sailed under one of the most iconic captains in a roster of other great captains, and no one has appreciated him. He was the third wheel in the governance of Nassau post-Guthrie rule, often having to balance Max's endless ambition and Jack's lunatic genius, and yet none of it would have survived if he hadn't been there. He has aged fifty years since taking the position as Jack Rackham's quartermaster and has a generous distaste for cravats. He loves Idelle with all his heart, for she is the only light of his life. He discovered the route to Skeleton Island, an island so obscure and off the maps that basically no one knows where it is or even if it exists, based on the words of an old man who kicked the curb halfway through the voyage. He is my best friend and his name is Augustus Featherstone.
