The Pirate King is the autocratic ruler of the pirate island in Tropico 2, and as such is in charge of having roads and buildings built, edicts issued, and pirate cruise orders issued. A successful pirate or captive rebellion will oust/kill the Pirate King and end the game in failure.
Creation
Except in scenarios which pre-select a Pirate King, players are able to choose a Pirate King persona from a list of pirate captains at the start of the game. The captains are the same as those which can be recruited in play, except that each has a background (the thing they were notable for becoming the Pirate King), two qualities, and a flaw. Players still have the ability to customize these options during creation while retaining the captain's name and picture. All of these options change different aspects of the game, from relations with the three Nations to the efficiency of different buildings.
