Jean Lafitte is the 4th most Notorious Pirate in the game. His only notable feature is his fairly decent mustache. As you go down the list the Famous Pirates are less valuable and less interesting. His Treasure is worth 6,000 gold. He sails a Brig.
The Real Jean Lafitte[]
Jean Lafitte was a French Privateer mostly active in Lousiana. He and his brother Pierre were pirates together. They actually helped the American army in the War of 1812. Like several of the Pirates in the game, he was not active during the time period of Pirates! He was mostly active in the late 18th century and early 19th century, 100+ years after the game's time period. ---->Wikipedia Article
