Pirates

The Jolly Roger, the original sign of a typical pirate flag.

“	♪ And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum. The Devil himself would have to call them scum! Every man on board would've killed his mate For a bag of pennies or a piece of eight! ♪	„
	~ Lyrics to "Shiver My Timbers" from Muppet Treasure Island.

Pirates come in different styles and ways with acts such as plunder, murder, stealing, piracy, kidnapping, and/or law-breaking usually for financial purposes.

Some can be leaders of a crew that sees everything the same way, but may be betrayed or "mutinied against" by their plunder-buddies.

Military Villains associated with naval warfare can go under this category.

Since piracy as it was practiced in classical times is romanticized in fiction many works feature Good Pirates as well as evil ones.
