Actually, that's not true. The name "Jack" for Jack Sparrow came from when Hugh Jackman was being considered for the role. The whole flamboyant personality of Sparrow was a combination of "Keith Richards and Pepe Le Pew." Given the popularity of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and the character of Jack Sparrow, Ubisoft capitalized on having a pirate of the same first name and implemented attributes of Sparrow onto Rackham.
Spent Lizard You are Dumb as fuck, Go READ some History, Jack Rackham really existed and was really like Sparrow, Just not so comic and awesome, he was a womanizer who didn't have much hability as a captain, bit was Very carismatic and always saved his ass With his carisma, and he Also had the most famous Jolly Roger of all time.
Historically "Jack" was just a nickname for Rakham his real name was actually John. And for Black Beard his name was Edward and as for his last name, the media likes to use Teach but it's proven that Teach was not his surname. He most likely went by Thatch, pronounced with with a strong T not Th.
Yeah it’s pretty different from the game we’re Charles just goes insane and you see him later in the prison a completely broken man who can’t even speak coherent sentences and only sings that down among the deadman song, it’s actually pretty sad to see him like that a former ally (almost friend even) reduced to nothing he then just gets executed offscreen which is sad but it’s historically accurate
@@Cody-ps3wyI do remember reading that Charles Vane was stranded on an island towards the end of his career, a British ship stopped at the island and he tried to join them, but they recognized him and he was ultimately captured and hung, which is presumably how how was captured in the game too
I don’t care that Rackham’s a side character, he can still be a joy to watch sometimes, despite how little screentime he gets. Also, I just noticed that this game has a knack for making us mourn the deaths of people we never thought we’d feel bad for, Rackham was a surly coward, Thatch was a boundless madman, Vane was a paranoid scumbag, so on and so forth.
Wouldn't really call Thatch a boundless madman. If anything, he's more of a daring strategist. He successfully created a persona of a ruthless pirate through theatrics and cunning, while at the same time always trying to avoid unnecessary violence.

@@KitGusta I also guess it comes from the way brain over brawn archetypes are generally displayed as cowards. I do agree with you though, a coward doesn't become a pirate now do they?
Jack Sparrow is mostlly an heroic interpretation of Rackham. Real life Rackham was an unsuccsesfull pirate; he only was captain for a couple of months after marooning Vane; accepted the Pardon; lived as a honest man for some time until he got involved with Bonnie and took the black again. The only good catch he ever made was stolen from him later and ended up executed by the law and abandoned by his lover... ...YET; his Jolly Roger is the most famous in history; he is amongst the most legendary pirates (without having done anithing really to deserve it) and its well known centuries after his death. "You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of!" "But you have heard of me." Perfectlly resumes both characters XDD Sparrows history is similar even; in this case, he was voted captain but then he got marooned some time after; yet he was made famous. He had an extremelly unsuccesfull career (in most of the movies he looses the Pearl, gets no proffit of any adventure and he is betrayed by or betrays any romantic interest he may have... his only deed is talking his way out of the gallows; witch Racham also did whe he convinced Wood Rogers that all his evildoing where Vane's fault) For me too, Sparrow is treated as too mutch of a badass in the movies (after the first one. In the first one he is fine). Most of his actions work out of pure plot armour, really
Uhh yeah he did. He mutinied against Edward and Vane. Marooning them on an island, which made Vane go insane. Forcing Edward to kill him. He wanted to sell Adewalle into slavery. And all of these people were his friends and allies. He was a monster who deserved a worse death
KurasakiBleachigo1 couldn’t have said it better! Can’t defend a character who would betray his own. Same with Hornigold. Thatch is the one who really didn’t deserve the end he met
@@KurasakiBleachigo1 Edward didn't kill him, he left him on the island, from where he was captured by British soldiers, and later hanged. You can find him imprisoned later in the game, in the mission where you rescue Mary and Anne.
+Atri Richards He was captured by the British Navy (along with Anne Bonny and Mary Read), then he was convicted of piracy and hanged. His body was left in a cage out on what's now known as "Rackham's Cay" out in front of Kingston Harbour as a warning to other pirates.
Fun fact in the original pirates of the Caribbean when Jack Sparrow tips his hat at the dead pirates hanging the one to the far left (I believe) is suppose to be Jack Rackham.
I do, although this one is more historically accurate if we are to believe the records. In Black Sails, he is way too intelligent and competent, although in AC4 he is there mostly for the comedic effect and they may have pushed it a bit too far with that he was known to be a drunkard and not the most competent captain.

The man is bisexual, in this adaptation anyway. He’s clearly attracted to Anne, and he also says something about finding a “bit of rough...” which meant a male sexual partner back then.
The real "Calico Jack" Rackham was actually a feminist and had two wives. However, it wasn't uncommon for male pirates to be sexually attractive to other men.

Didn't he do it because Charles refused to attack a ship or something?

He also tried to sell Ade into slavery. I gladly did the dart glitch and threw his body his body in the sea.

why does his betrayal gets slipped under the carpet? like thats some fucked up thing to do, and Edward instead of killing him he just let it slide
Because the rakham made Edward laughs
I think they still considered him as kind of a friend.
because it was a revenge for his ship that kenway and vane blew up
