The Years Between (

1718-1728, age 29-39 )

After the Black Pearl was taken from him by Barbossa, Jack made his way to Tortuga and waited – sure enough, Robby Greene pulled into port along with one of his ships in need of repairs, and the two reunited. After some discussion, Jack joined the crew of the Star Chaser, though when Renegade Freedom lost her captain in a skirmish, as well as her quartermaster, Robby rearranged the crews of both ships and set Jack as the captain of Renegade with Nadifa, a former slave woman who had been crew to the Renegade for three years, as quartermaster.

For nine years, Jack sailed with his old friend and harried the EITC with pleasure. The two men were an absolute bane to slave ships of all kinds, and Jack built something of a community for himself among Robby’s fleet. During this time, he hunted for the Pearlrelentlessly – and one such venture caused incredible damage to the Renegade that lead Jack to an argument with Nadifa so fierce it was said to be heard by the entirety of the fleet despite miles between the ships.

In the end, Jack yielded to Nadifa and named her captain of the Renegade. He was delivered to Tortuga – citing he needed a break from pirating awhile – where he spent his time at theFaithful Bride before growing restless and finally, commandeering the Dying Gull.
