John Whaledavis

John Whaledavis was the original pirate of the Whaledavis family. He became a pirate after his father, a prestigious Naval officer, tried to force him into the Navy. John changed the reputation of the Whaledavis from respectable, law-abiding citizens into fearsome, free-for-all pirates.

Early Life
Not much is known about John Whaledavis' early life except for that he was born around 1665 to a wealthy Naval officer. He had a reputation as a scar on the family name, and was not well liked.

Early Adulthood
When John was 19, his father tried to force him into the Navy. This was the last straw for John. He ran away that night and stowed away on a ship to Port Royal from Kingshead, where he had lived with his mother and father. He soon was known as a fearsome pirate.

Marriage
When John was 23, he met Marcia Rundt. The two married and had a son named Richard. Two years later, Marcia had an affair with Timothy Sternslipper, and had a son named Eric. However, John forgave Marcia for her infidelity and welcomed Eric into his family as his stepson. Richard and Eric had a wonderful relationship for a few years until Richard came across John Breasly.

After Eric Left
After John took Richard to Kingshead to cheer him up, Eric became resentful of Richard and his father and ran away from home. This devestated John, who left Marcia and Richard and resumed his former pirate life.
