[1] He is known as "Roche Braziliano", which in English translates to "Rock the Brazilian", due to his long exile in Brazil.

[2][3] Roche Braziliano was a notoriously cruel buccaneer who operated out of Port Royal, Jamaica.

[4] He soon resumed his criminal career, purchasing a new ship from fellow pirate François l'Olonnais and later sailing in company with Sir Henry Morgan and Joseph Bradley among others.

He treated his Spanish prisoners barbarously, typically cutting off their limbs or roasting them alive over a fire.

Whether he (and his vessel and men) were lost at sea in a brutal storm, was secretly captured, or possibly retired and lived the rest of his life in anonymity is a matter of debate.
