Blackbeard has no good guy qualities lol. He is even willing to sacrifce his lieutenants if it allows him to get what he wants.Blackbeard for me.
I love how he's unapologetically a coward and crook. But he also has redeeming good guy qualities as well.
He seems like an actual pirate. To where the reader can't ever really hate him because they understand why he makes the move he makes.
But that what makes him good villain. He is acting as a pirate should. Pilaging, Ransacking town, being unpredictable all that stuff
