Who Is Blackbeard in Black Flag Resynced?

Updated July 7, 2026

Blackbeard (Edward Thatch) is a legendary pirate ally, with a new eight-mission endgame chapter expanding his story.

Blackbeard — real name Edward Thatch — is one of the most famous pirates of the Golden Age and a key ally and mentor figure to Edward Kenway in the story.

The remake dedicates new content to him: A World Without Gold, an eight-mission endgame chapter, plus a treasure quest that begins in Sequence 8, deepening his role beyond the original.
