Woodes Rogers (c. 1679 – 1732) An English privateer and first Royal Governor of the Bahamas. Sincerely prefers diplomacy to violence, with his favored solution to the piracy problem being to offer them the King's Pardon in exchange for them laying down their arms (with the understanding that those who don't take the offer will be at the mercy of the King's Navy). He was eventually expelled from the Order for continuing to trade in slaves. He has a nasty scar from a bullet on his cheek.
