Blind Pew

How Stevenson describes him:

"He was plainly blind for he tapped before him with a stick, and wore a great green shade over his eyes and nose; and he was hunched, as if with age or weakness, and wore a huge old tattered sea-cloak with a hood, which made him appear positively deformed ".

The role he plays in Treasure Island:

An evil and sinister pirate who was blinded in a pirate attack. He is cruel, scary and determined to get the map. He gives Billy Bones the Black Spot and is trampled to death by horses.

What he has to say:

"All I needed was the map, then I would have been home and dry - Billy Bones got what he deserved!"
