Wrongly accused, persecuted, and scarred, young Cooper Cain was driven from his home in shame. He took to the sea where he became the Pyrate. He fell in love, but what could he offer his woman if he continued his life as a pirate? Fate smiled on Cooper Cain. For his brave deeds he was given a pardon by the Crown. When the war came, he fought with his adopted country, the United States. As a privateer he became feared. After the war ended, he left the sea for a farm. He had a wife and a child on the way.

Pirates then started raiding again. Torture and murder were once again on the high seas! They had to be stopped. Who better to hunt down a pirate than the Pyrate? He becomes The Hunter. (Volume III of The Pyrate).
