Elisabet Ramsey, a.k.a. "Lizzie the Pirate" is a buccaneer from the Caribbean colonies. Lizzie fights with twin pistols and behaves like a typical Explorer, collecting treasures or exploring the map. She is only moderately useful as a gunpowder unit, inflicting less damage than an upgraded crossbowman however her high hitpoints and special ability somewhat make up for this. Her greatest strength is her Crackshot attack that can be used on enemy Treasure Guardians or enemy units. She also grants access to Lizzie's Flagship during The Fountain of Youth and Spanish Treasure Fleet battles. She is voiced by Jennifer Hale.

Note: Like Morgan, Lizzie benefits from any upgrades for non-specific infantry.

Biography Edit

Elisabet Ramsey, daughter of an English nobleman, fled from her home at an early age to avoid facing an arranged marriage and found herself in the Caribbean. Lizzie became a privateer working for the British and Dutch fleets, becoming famous along with her flagship, the Paris Burning, which was named for her least favorite city.

Initially she is an enemy of Morgan Black and the Knights of St. John. When she later encounters Morgan they form an alliance after he performs several heroic acts to impress her and promises her a fortune in Spanish gold.

Although Lizzie leaves at the end of the first act it is later suggested that she and Morgan became lovers. This union was the basis for the following acts, which all involve descendents of Morgan and supposedly Lizzie herself. Amelia does not know for certain if she is her great-great-grandmother, though many people say she has a pirate's temper.
