Edward Teach se narodil přibližně okolo roku 1680 v Anglii, o jeho životě do roku 1716 toho moc nevíme. Podle historiků se plavil na lodích jako prostý námořník. Z jistotou víme že sloužil i v královském námořnictvu během války královny Anny.Jeho život se obrací na ruby okolo tohoto roku, v té době už prokazatelně působil jako člen posádky na pirátské lodi Benjamina Hornigolda. Netrvá dlouho a stává se velitelem jedné šalupy. Hornigold o chvíli později odešel do pirátského důchodu a Edward se proto osamostatní a vybuduje vlastní pirátskou flotilu která se skoro ihned stane jednou z nejobávanějších.
Netrvá dlouho a Černovous znovu brázdí moře pod pirátskou vlajkou, ovšem stejně tak dlouho netrvá než ho 22. listopadu najde, a usmrtí flotila poručíka Maynarda který byl britskou vládu vyslán aby jej vyhledal. Když byla jeho mrtvola ohledána nesla přes dvacet řezných a bodných ran, také pět průstřelů z pistole. Jeho hlava byla pověšena na stěžen a tělo vhozeno do moře.
Černovous podle pověsti po sobě nechal poklad který je schován neznámo kde, ovšem žádné záznamy to nepotvrzují a ni ve vraku Queen Anne's Revenge který se našel 1996 tomuto faktu nic nenasvědčovalo.

Born in England around 1680, Edward Teach doesn't know much about his life until 1716. According to historians, he sailed on ships as a plain sailor. We know for certain that he served in the Royal Navy during Queen Anne's War. It does not last long and becomes the commander of a sloop. A moment later, Hornigold retired to pirate retirement and Edward became independent and builds his own pirate fleet, which almost immediately becomes one of the most feared.
On November 28, 1717, on the shores of Saint Vincent, he attacks a French slave ship carrying the name La Concorde. It will capture and rename Queen Anne's Revenge - Queen Anne's Revenge. He left the crew alive and even gave them one of his smaller ships. Queen Anne's Revenge then equips forty guns. He is now known as Redhead. It was a man who was very intelligent and able to work socially, he could create a natural authority. Blackbeard had basically made advertising because of the scary stories they described as a devil. He was, according to all, who knew him very kind and calm man. He was known for his long black beard, which he pulled with black ribbons. When he went to battle he wore up to six guns and, under his wide hat, tucked in his lighted glitters that made his look even more frightening. Blackbeard became such a threat that he was offered several times pardon if he left his pirate career.
This may well have happened on June 10, 1718 when Queen Anne's Revenge ran aground near the North Carolina shores, and it was possible that Blackbeard had caused the shipwreck because then he had received the mercy of the King of England and left piracy.
It does not last long, and Blackbeard again wakes the sea under the pirate flag, but it does not last as long as he finds it on November 22, and kills Lieutenant Maynard's fleet, which was sent to the British government to seek out. When his corpse was carrying more than twenty cutting and stab wounds, five gun blasts. His head was hung on the mast, and the body was thrown into the sea.
Blackbeard according to legend left behind a treasure that is hidden unknown where, however, no records confirm it and her in the wreck of Queen Anne's Revenge found 1996 this fact did not indicate anything.
