Flintlock Garcia

Flintlock Garcia is a pirate who formerly sailed the high seas during the Golden Age of Piracy before being transported to present-day Hawaii through a mysterious time portal. She is currently signed to CWL and despite having purchased a galleon, has decided to continue to wrestle professionally for the foreseeable future.

## Early Career

As a young girl on the island of Hispaniola, Flintlock was constantly frustrated by the inequality she saw in the town of La Vega, perpetuated by the Spanish soldiers and missionaries who had colonized the island two hundred years before her birth. The daughter of a Spanish soldier and an indigenous Taino woman, Flintlock grew up protected from the worst of the prejudice directed towards the native population because of her father's position. She was afforded privileges like being able to attend school and learning to read. However, she was never fully accepted by the Spanish children in town either due to her mixed heritage. As she grew older, she became embittered, not just by her own experience, but by the treatment of the enslaved Africans brought to the island who were forced to work for the Spanish. At the age of 12, she ran away from her family to the city of Santo Domingo with the intention of leaving Hispaniola.

When she reached Santo Domingo in 1704, she began work as a server at a bar in town, called El Pulpo Sediento. Customers would frequently become rowdy or violent, so the owner of the establishment taught her how to use a pistol to defend herself. One night, a customer notorious for starting fights drew a knife on the owner because of a dispute over his tab, but Flintlock grabbed the pistol from under the bar and shot the man in the hand, disarming him, and earning her the nickname "Flintlock".

In the bar that same night was Black Sam Bellamy, the Robin Hood of pirates. He was impressed with her quick thinking and good aim, and offered her a spot on his crew. She accepted, and over the next two years, she sailed with him on the *Whydah Gally*, his infamous ship. As well as piracy, Black Sam's crew frequently engaged in ideological discussion, as they considered themselves to be a "moral" pirate crew. These discussions helped Flintlock to refine her philosophy, realizing that the root of human suffering in the world came from imperialism and economic inequality. During this time, they found themselves on the Isle of Tonga, where a powerful warrior taught Flintlock how to wrestle, teaching her the secrets of the Tongan Death Grip. When Black Sam's ship sank off the coast of Massachusetts in 1717, taking him and most of his crew with it, Flintlock and a few others like Bad Leg Benjamin and Stinky Stan were able to make it to shore.

Without Black Sam to guide them, they had a brawl to determine their new captain, which Flintlock won through her wrestling skills. After some successful land raids on Massachusetts landowners, they accumulated enough money to buy a ship. Soon, they were back on the high seas aboard their new ship, *The Ginger Dog*. Over the next six years, Flintlock and her crew were the terror of wealthy merchants and imperialists across the Atlantic Ocean. The crew kept very little of the profits from their raids for themselves, instead they chose to redistribute that wealth to impoverished indigenous communities devastated by the effects of colonization. In addition to their wealth redistribution, *The Ginger Dog* frequently attacked slave ships to liberate the captives held within. However, during one raid off the coast of Cuba, Flintlock mysteriously vanished. For centuries, historians were mystified as to where she had gone.

In 2021, Flintlock materialized on a beach in Honolulu, Hawaii, falling out of a portal. She was found by an insurance agent named Jim Finch who was vacationing in Honolulu with his wife, Deborah. The two of them befriended Flintlock and decided to help her get her bearings in the present day, directing her towards CWL so she could make a living.

## The Multiverse (2021-Present)

Flintlock began teaming with Sygni Reggindottir on an episode of Wednesday Night Warriors, defeating her opponent with the Tongan Death Grip. In her four matches on WNW, Flintlock has gone undefeated.

Flintlock and Reggindottir were crowned as the Friday Night Fighters (FNF) Women's Tag Team Champions. In their first defense, they were defeated by the IInspiration, leading to the two deciding to take a break from tag team competition. Branching out on her own. Flintlock Garcia choked out Quinn Edwards, earning her a shot at Siobhan Palmer's FNF European Championship. After a highly competitive matchup, Flintlock managed to lock in the Tongan Death Grip and secure her first singles championship.

## Ring Classic (2022-Present)

Flintlock made her surprise debut against Nancy Hammer at Magnum Councilium in a match for the Ring Classic Women's Championship. Nancy Hammer, unprepared to face Flintlock, lost the highly competitive match after a Broadside immediately followed by a Benjamin's Revenjamin, capturing the Ring Classic Women's Championship for Flintlock.

## CWL (2021 - Present)

Flintlock made her pro wrestling debut at Genesis 34 against Bayamya, where she lost. Her next match came against Lilly Hayworth, where she managed to win with The Broadside after a hard-fought match. After a long series of losses, she managed to pick up a win in a triple threat against Bayamya and Charlie Miller, winning a new ship in the process. She was eventually given an opportunity to challenge for the Queen of Genesis Championship against Bebe Ka$h, who Flintlock referred to as "Baby Cat", with the added stipulation that if Flintlock lost, she would never be able to challenge for that championship again. "Baby" was able to pin Flintlock, adding another loss to the pirate's record.

Flintlock debuted on Vindication on the 5.9 show, facing off against Marilyn Benson for a spot in the Gold in the Bank ladder match which she won with the Tongan Death Grip. In a triple threat match between the three Vindication contenders in the Gold in the Bank ladder match, Flintlock was able to win once again, defeating both Kumiyo Ishimoto and Lady Brittania. In the Gold in the Bank match itself, Flintlock was unable to climb the ladder and claim the briefcase with Lady Brittania instead winning the match. The next week on Vindication 5.13, Flintlock managed to defeat CWL veteran Kathryn Love with the Tongan Death Grip.

Flintlock was recruited by Ryan Porter to assist him on his new television show "Treasures Lost to Time", where he searched for pirate treasure. Together, they were able to locate a three hundred year old stash of rum buried by Flintlock's former crewmade on the *Wydah Gally*, Stinky Stan Garrick. When the two set out to reclaim the treasure, they found that Marilyn Benson had beat them to it and had already consumed most of the rum along with her horde of partygoers. Taking out her feelings in the ring, Flintlock submitted Alexandra Marie on Vindication 5.15 before setting her sights on Benson herself. However, Benson got the upper hand when she was able to surreptitiously dye Flintlock's hair green, adding additional fuel to the fire. The two agreed on a match at Merry Mayhem where the winner would get the final bottle of rum.

Flintlock then just had several matches and partied, defeating many competitors from CWL's star-studded roster. She was notably betrayed by her former friend Bayamya, which made her very sad.
