Blind Pew

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 ".

His role 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.

Blind Pew said,

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