- "Mistress Ching…long time, no…see."
- ―Jack Sparrow
Mistress Ching was a blind Pirate Lord during the time of Lord Cutler Beckett's attempts to eradicate piracy in the Caribbean. Ching was the lord of the Pacific Ocean[1], and was known to have traveled five of the seven seas.[2]
Biography
Ching commanded an armada of junks that terrorized the Chinese coasts ever since she took control of the pirate confederation of China following her husband's death. She was a profiteer of smuggled trade goods between Japan and China, and her pirates were known to victimize their opponents, with beheadings being their preferred form of torture.[3]
Ching was wanted dead or alive by the East India Trading Company for crimes including sacking and pillaging countless villages, cutting off ears for souvenirs, running a brothel and gambling house, and collaborating with secret societies to systematically extort local merchants. The reward was 3,400 guineas.[4] Ching evaded capture by the EITC and joined the Brethren Court at Shipwreck Cove to unite with Jack Sparrow and his followers against Lord Beckett.
