Background
Note: the following is not part of POTCO gameplay, but a background story.

Jeremiah Garland II was born on December 23, 1670, in Yorkshire, England, to father Jeremiah Garland I and mother Susan Livington. Growing up in the English countryside, Garland had a knack for adventure. He'd spend most days of his childhood exploring the forests and caves that surround Yorkshire. When he was 12, however, his family moved to London, mainly for his father's business (his father was a clergyman). Jeremiah did not like the city as much, as there was less adventure. However, Jeremiah's life changed dramatically in 1684. After living in London for no more than a year, Jeremiah Garland I was tragically killed in a massive fire that occured downtown. Only a year later, 1685, Garland's mother died, as well, of tuberclosis. Depressed by the loss of his parents, Garland decided to live life as beggar in the streets of London. In his teens, though, he soon joined a rough gang of teens on the streets. They asked Garland if he knew to fight. When he said no, they taught him how and supplied him with a dagger. At age 16, Garland killed his first person while in a scrap fight with an enemy gang. Garland was arrested for the homicide, and tried at a court. He was given two options: one, serve four years in prison, or two, enlist in the British Royal Navy as a marine with no pay. Determined not to serve time in prison, he went with the Royal Navy.

Garland was assigned to fight in Spain, as the British and Spanish were hostile at the time. In Spain, Garland exhibited himself as a superb soldier, and helped end the war when he and his legion captured the Spanish capital, Cadiz. Garland was awarded the medal of honour for his bravery in Spain, and declared a war hero. In addition, all charges of his murder were dropped.

In 1692, Garland and his legion were assigned to the Caribbean. Piracy had become a huge problem for the British in the Caribbean, as they constantly harassed the East India Trading Company (EITC), the largest trade agency of the British. The EITC could not have this, and gave Garland's legion the task of dispatching of as many pirates as they could, as well as protect their trade fleets. The legion was stationed at Fort Dundee, in the British colony of Padres Del Fuego. For four years, Garland helped hunt pirates. One of the most famed pirates Garland and his legion killed was the legendary Captain Kidd, who was killed when the legion sabotaged his vessel, causing it to explode. After a while, Garland grew weary of attacking pirates, and decided to retire from military life. He settled in a small adobe on British Port Royal, right next to the conclave building where the EITC Lords would meet and debate. Out of curiosity, one night Garland decided to attend one of the EITC Lords' meetings, as a visitor. He was so intrigued by their politics, he knew he had to become a lord. He ran for the position in early 1697, and won the ballot. At age 27, he became the youngest man to be elected a lord to the EITC Council.
