Sir Henry Morgan 

He terrorized the Spanish Caribbean colonies in the 1600's. Itis rumored that the English sanctioned him. He headed the Jamaican fleet and enfeebled the Spanish rule. He even hindered the normal conditions in West Indies. He has plundered more than 400 hundred ships but his greatest and largest plunder was when he captured the Panama city with 1200 men and thirty ships! But because of this plunder hewas captured and brought to England. However, hewas knighted and released as deputed governor of Jamaica because of the battle between Spain and England. He did not go back to his pirate ways after that.
