Rufus Blackbeard

Rufus Blackbeard is the only child of Harbour Blackbeard, and for a time was the owner of Blackbeard Port until giving it to his son, Jack Blackbeard. Rufus married the eldest daughter of his dad's best friend, Lady Jack, with whom he had his child. Lady Jack is known for her liking of fine jewellry, which lead to Rufus spending much of his family fortune trying to appease her, a habit which lead to him drowning his sorrows in drinking. As Jack Blackbeard grew up and took the role as a pirate captain as an alternative way of regaining the Blackbeard fortunes, Lady Jack soon lashed out at Rufus for his bad parenting skills which lead to this. Many arguments sprouted from here on out, which Rufus drowned out with drinking. This was, of course, until Lady Jack fell ill, which worried Rufus so much that he resorted to alcohol.

Needless to say, Rufus is an alcoholic.
