Meet the Pirates: Edward Teague

Meet the Pirates: Edward Teague

Submitted by CKPP Correspondent

Edward Teague was an infamous Pirate of the Caribbean and father of Jack Sparrow. A legendary pirate in his own right, Teague occasionally re-appeared in the life of his son Jack who followed in his buccaneering footsteps. Teague was an outlaw but with an aristocratic bearing; a fearsome figure, but with unmistakable touches of sweetness and vulnerability.

At some point in his career, Captain Teague became part of the Brethren Court, obtaining the title of Pirate Lord of Madagascar and later retiring that to become Keeper of the Code. His candor, rigorous personal integrity, and uncompromising commitment to the Pirate Code had earned him the fear and respect of all the other Pirate Lords.

Although he appeared a "stay at home" pirate, Teague would still be active in his later years, such as taking part in the Brethren`s stand against Cutler Beckett`s Armada in the War Against Piracy, where they would choose the next Pirate King and he followed Jack in his search for the fabled Fountain of Youth, where he would warn his son of the perilous voyage and the tests it would lay upon him.

You will see him often at a great many Pirate events, always watchful for those who would break the Pirata Codex, the Pirates Code, the Laws set down by the Pirates Morgan and Bartholomew. He seems an even tempered sort and often jovial, but breakers of the Code are treated quite differently, as Teague has shot many a Man for even disrespecting the Code verbally.

Captain Teague is portrayed by Rod Corman, a professional impersonator who has portrayed him for over 3 years. Mr. Corman has cast his lot with the Cedar Key Pirates in Paradise and the Pirate Approved Purveyors to bring his colorful and historically correct character to the Cedar Key Pirate Invasion Weekend September 13-15, 2013.
