Brickyard Kennedy was a pirate based out of Avalon, Atlantis in the 1660s. He was the brother of Goldbeard Walter Kennedy.[1] When Walter was fatally injured at the Battle of the Hesperian Gulf, Brickyard assumed command of his ship, and appeared at the post-battle parlay aboard the Aigle d'Argent.[2] He tried to make himself and his comrades believe that they had defeated the allied fleet.[3]
When Avalon fell to William Radcliff's men, Kennedy joined his brother in the next world.[4]
Literary comment[]
Unlike other pirates of Avalon, Kennedy is not named after a historical pirate of the Caribbean. He is instead named for William Park "Brickyard" Kennedy (1867-1915), an American Major League Baseball pitcher for the Brooklyn Grooms/Bridegrooms/Superbas (1892–1901), New York Giants (1902), and Pittsburgh Pirates (1903).
