Blackbeard's first mate's name was Israel Hands, but it is a well known fact that his middle initial was "C". Recently, we have discovered that this middle initial stood for Chester.
This discovery has confirmed the fact (previously only thought as a rumor), that his great grand cousin Ralph, started a cereal company, and used Mr. Hands' preferred nickname, "Chester" and his actual likeness on a cereal called Chipmates, no doubt owing to the fact that Mr. Hands once held an entire island hostage in exchange for some chocolate chip cookies and milk.
The photo below compares that actual Mr. Hands to a close up of the likeness on the cereal box. The resemblance is uncanny:
