Aloysius MacKnucklepeck was born in 1662 on a small island off the western coast of Scotland. The third of four sons born to Angus and Barabal MacKnucklepeck. Along with his three brothers, Steaphan, Eosaph, and Daibhidh, young Aloysius(al-oh-ish-us) worked the family farm. But Aloysius was not content to be a farmer and spent most of his youth daydreaming of adventure.
After leaving home at the age of 16 he worked on fishing ships and cargo vessels and eventually became a pirate. In 1701 he was the sole survivor of a shipwreck that left him a castaway on a deserted island for over two years. With monkeys and other wildlife as his only companions, he managed to keep his sanity until he was rescued by Anne Bonny and became first mate on her ship.
As time passed, Mister Mac as he is now known, formed his own crew of trusted and loyal pirates!
