The Pioneer Of The East: Thomas Tew

The new season of "Echoes of History" features Ubisoft's new game: "Skull and Bones".


At the end of the 17th century, pirates scoured the warm seas of the Caribbean. When this corner of the world became too small for these restless bandits, one man looked towards the East... Thomas Tew, a former privateer, was one of the first pirates to set sail for the Indian Ocean. Lured by gold, spices, and precious stones transported in the holds of Mughal ships, Tew embarked on a new sailing route, the "Pirate Round". A route wrought with determination... and blood.
