Biography

Pirate Lord

"I've known him for years! I've gambled with him, gotten drunk with him more times than I can count."

―Hector Barbossa on Borya

It is unknown exactly when Borya became a pirate, but it was before the late 1720s. He became a Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea, and was known and respected by all pirate captains who lived in Shipwreck Cove. At some point in his life, he met Hector Barbossa, and they became good friends. He also met Jack Sparrow, a son of Captain Edward Teague, Keeper of the Code. Seeing how good sailor Jack is, even in his young age, Borya predicted that Jack would become a Pirate Lord himself.
