Hendrick Lucifer

[2] In 1627, Hendrick was in charge of 3 ships transporting colonists to Guyana for the Dutch West India Company, accompanied by two other pirate captains.

Hendrick fought as brave as a lion, (according to surviving crewmen), and personally killed around ten enemy soldiers in close combat, before being hit by a bullet.

He made it back safely to his ship, and his crew finished up the last of the treasure fleet's sailors.

Lucifer, by then mortally wounded, gave the order to transfer the loot (1404 chests of Indigo, 4280 animal skins, 32 jars of balsam ointment and several other items) to his ship.

He slowly lay down to bed, saying he would go to rest, and then died as a result of wounds received during the encounter.
