Luke Arnold as John Silver and Toby Stephens as Captain Flint in Black Sails
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Black Sails primarily serves as a prequel to Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, meaning several characters from the book appear in the show. Despite some characters being fictional, Black Sails includes several real pirates throughout the story.
Silver is arguably the protagonist of Black Sails alongside Flint, with the show chronicling his transition from a lovable rogue to the feared pirate captain... Interestingly, Flint does not physically appear in Treasure Island, though he remains a central part of the book's plot. Flint is said to have died years before Treasure Island begins, yet the legacy of his character makes him a central character of the story, regardless of his lack of physical appearance.

Tom Morgan only appears in the final season of Black Sails as one of the pirate captains gathered by Flint and Silver. Morgan becomes loyal to Silver, eventually aiding him and Flint against the British in the final story arc of the show. Morgan, despite his smaller role in the overall story, plays a big part in Flint's ending.
2 Madi Played By Zethu Dlomo In Black Sails Madi, Silver's wife, is similar to Captain Flint in that she is only referenced in Treasure Island. The character does not directly appear in the novel, but a mention of Silver's wife links to the character of Madi from Black Sails. In Treasure Island, it is mentioned that Silver married a woman of color, though her name is not divulged. This gave the creators of Black Sails some freedom to explore, leading to the character of Madi.
