Biography
"We have not seen any sign of them in the waters near the Chinese coasts." "They have been preying off the coast of Spain. And they operate as Borya has described. We have found two burning wrecks, and other ships have simply vanished like this!"

- Mistress Ching and Eduardo Villanueva talking about rogue pirates

Borya appeared at a meeting of the Brethren Court, where he along with other contemporary pirates - Don Rafael, Captain Teague, Mistress Ching, Eduardo Villanueva, Jack Sparrow and Hector Barbossa, amongst others - expressed his dismay over the occurrences of rogue pirates attacking peaceful merchant ships as well as pirate ships, for the fear of war being declared by the colonial countries of Western Europe.

Through unknown circumstances, whether by stealing it or some other way, Hector Barbossa obtained Borya's Piece of Eight, the wooden eyeball.

Barbossa succeeded Borya and became the next Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea and gave his Piece of Eight to Ragetti for safekeeping. What happened to Borya is unknown.
