− | Edward Woodson Featty was born in 1678 just outside of Ireland. The son of a respected and beloved Cardinal, he was the middle of three children and the only male. Edward was groomed at an early age to be a cleric in the Church, able to recite passages from the Bible at the age of three. When he was four years old Edward's Father moved the family to France where was ordained a bishop. With his father's new found influence Edward was granted the finest education and wanted for nothing.

− | On the eve of his tenth birthday, Edward's father presented Edward with a very special gift - his very own ship. Edward named the ship the Prestige and insisted on taking the ship out to sea. His father hesitantly agreed and they ventured into the Mediterranean. They were less than an hour off shore when the canons of a pirate ship left the ship dead in the water and Edward's father dead at sea.

− | Upon his rescue and return to Paris, Edward was embraced by a friend of his fathers, also a bishop, and confined mostly to the church. But the loss of his father and the call of the sea had infected him. He needed revenge Edward spent the next two years learnings what he could from the elders of the church of piracy and seamanship, sneaking from his room to the docks at night and honing his skills as a sailor (He would have continued his private education longer but he sailed into a typhoon during Christmas of 1699 and crashed in southern Italy, prompting his stepfather to confine him to the church permanently.

− | In the fall of 1700, Edward was to be ordained as a brother, but his need for revenge overwhelmed him. He felt like a prisoner. In a moment of insanity, he urinated in the Eucharist and struck the Pope before fighting his way out of the church and stowing himself on a cargo ship. Eating of what he could (mostly rats), Edward remained hidden for several months until the ship finally docked. After a few hours of silence Edward made his way to he deck of the ship and was instantly overjoyed; he was back home, in Ireland.
