El Patron

Humberto Diaz, also known as El Patron (spanish for Captain or The Captain) was an original Spanish conquistador who visited the Caribbean many years in the past.



History
Humberto was the son of a wealthy merchant and adviser to the king of Spain. Using these powerful connections, he financed a lavish expedition to the Caribbean. Like many Spanish Conquistadors, he set out to find gold and riches, but ultimately he became known for his weapons.

At some point, he had gathered the large cache of these special weapons and kept them on Padres Del Fuego - which was his base camp. When he had spent even the large sum supplied to him by his father and the king, he used his artfully crafted weapons as a collateral to borrow money from many of the shop keepers on Padres Del Fuego. Among the legendary weapons was the cursed sword of El Patron himself, as well as several Lost Relics and many other magically or voodoo enhanced weapons. The cache was hidden and then lost.

When he left without repaying this debt the legend of these weapons grew, until both Jolly Roger and Lord Beckett thirsted to harness their power.As word of these caches later reached Jolly Roger, he not only wanted the weapons for himself, but he wanted to make sure these items could NOT be used against him.

Pirates were asked by members of the Casa de Muertos guild (who worked for Jolly) to help them locate El Patron's Lost Weapons. Jolly began competing with his old ally Lord Cutler Beckett for the artifacts. Just as the Casa de Muertos did, Beckett received word that the weapons were not on Padres at all, but on a mysterious island called Raven's Cove.

Soon, Beckett launched his Expedition Fleets to the Cove, which many pirates warded off. However one of the Fleets reached the island, only to find Jolly's men as well over there.

Jolly Roger and Lord Beckett's men fought a bloody battle over the weapons when they were discovered on Raven Cove, and now that they have returned, they can be found everywhere among the dark forces of the Caribbean.
