Name: Edward Nathaniel SwannAlias: The Pirate Prince (title earned later)Date of Birth: 1717, London, EnglandFamily: Governor Weatherby Swann (father), Elizabeth Swann (younger sister by two years)Status: Heir of the Swann household, later Captain of the Elysium Early Life Edward Swann was born into privilege, the first and only son of a rising English diplomat. His childhood was one of tutors, manners, and expectations until his father was appointed Governor of Port Royal. The move to Jamaica brought him closer to the sea, and that was where the noble son began to fade, replaced by something untamable.
He was known to wander the docks instead of attending lessons, questioning sailors about their voyages, memorizing ship designs, and asking to hold a sword long before he was old enough to wield one.
When Elizabeth was born, Edward's world changed. The wild, curious girl became his greatest joy and his reason to fight. From that moment, everything he did was with her in mind.
The AwakeningNo one knew that behind the boy's polite smile was a secret the soul of another man.
A man from a distant future, who had seen this world before in stories and films. He knew its dangers ,cursed gold, undead pirates, sea monsters, and gods who walked the waves. He also knew the name that would one day shake this world's foundations: Captain Jack Sparrow.
And instead of fear, the thought thrilled him.
The Governor's SonAt twelve, Edward asked his father to let him train with Port Royal's naval officers. He claimed it was to prepare for a career in diplomacy. The truth was simpler — he wanted to learn to fight, to sail, and to survive.
His tutors described him as "too clever for his own good."
His fencing instructors called him "a natural — and a menace."
He'd duel with grace, grin mid-fight, and toss quips that made his opponents stumble with irritation.
He became a legend among the trainees the noble who fought like a pirate, and laughed like one too.
