Jacob Garrett was a Carpenter's Mate on the Intrepid. After Jack Rackham becomes captain of the Colonial Dawn, Anne Bonny becomes increasingly unstable. One nigh in the brothel, Jacob attempts to befriend Bonny, and even goes upstairs in the brothel with her. However, he was then interrupted by Idelle, which allows Bonny to leave the room.
Garrett gained himself a reputation of one of the most gifted wordsmiths in Nassau. When Billy Bones came to the port intent on stirring resentment for Governor Rogers, he allied with Garrett. Together they rouse hatred for Eleanor Guthrie as a tyrant, and then demand for Vane to be tried fairly in Nassau, rather than be shipped off to England. This should give them enough time to mount a rescue for Charles Vane.
Jacob Garrett remains loyal to Billy, even as John Silver returns and takes-over Nassau. After Eleanor makes her deal with Silver and Flint to exchange Fort Nassau for the Urca cache, Billy waits outside the tunnel under the fort, with his men hidden in the bushes, thinking he is about to ambush Eleanor and Flint. However, Garrett comes up and tells him that this isn’t so; he has been charged with killing him. Nonetheless, Garrett refuses, telling Silver’s men that they’ve forgotten who they should be following; their oaths were given to Billy, when Long John Silver was just a fiction. With a look, Silver sends in Israel Hands to take them both out. The fight is quick. Garrett is killed, and Billy beaten to within an inch of his life.
