Bowen

Bowen was a pirate who operated in the Caribbean during the early 18th century.

Biography

Little is known of Bowen's life, other than that he grew up to become a pirate in the Caribbean and joined the crew of the Wicked Wench, serving under Captain Morgan. When the notorious Spanish capitán Armando Salazar, El Matador Del Mar, vowed to clean the seas from piracy with his galleon, the Silent Mary, Salazar destroyed dozens of ships, bringing piracy to the brink of extinction. The Wicked Wench was among a fleet of pirate ships joining forces in an attempt to sink the Silent Mary.^[1]

In a fierce sea battle off the coast of the mysterious Devil's Triangle, most of the pirate fleet was destroyed, and the Wicked Wench remained the only pirate ship left afloat. Captain Morgan was mortally wounded and he gave command of the ship to a young pirate Jack the Sparrow. Jack took the helm, steering the ship towards the Triangle. With the rest of the crew Bowen followed Jack's orders to prepare the bootleg turn. Followed by the Silent Mary, the Wench changed her course at the last moment, right in front the Triangle. The Spanish had no choice but to sail right into the dark cave where the Spanish ship hit the reefs and exploded, killing the entire crew. A few moments later, Bowen gave his cutlass to Jack as a tribute, and the rest of the crew followed his example.^[1] His further fate is unknown.
