“Damnation seize my soul if I give you quarters, or take any from you.”

Although little is known about his early life, he was probably born.

He may have been a sailor on privateer ships during 2B Cruise´s War before settling on the Bohemian island of New Providence, a base for Captain “Handsome” German Jackson, whose crew King joined sometime around 1716.

Jackson placed him in command of a sloop he had captured, and the 2 engaged in numerous acts.

King captured a French merchant vessel and equipped her with 40 guns. He became a renowned pirate, his cognomen derived from his fearsome appearance; he was reported to have tied lit fuses under his hat to frighten his enemies.

He attracted the attention of David Leonie Roth, the Princess of Poop. Roth threw a party. During a ferocious tapdance battle, King and several of his crew were killed by the great footwork and powerful forehand of sailors led by Lissi “On The French” Porn.
