The Second Installment of the Franchise - Based on the Dark Horse Comics - Which is set in 1718 during Captain Raphael Andolini's time from being in the Spanish Navy to becoming a Notorious Pirate who sailed around from the Spanish to the African Coast, plundering & pillaging along the way, whilst being stalked by a Young Grey-Back, who would later become the Lost Tribe Clan Elder. It also explains the origins of the "Flintlock Pistol" from the 1997 Predator 2 Movie. And not the crappy character angle that was used in the Reboot Movie - "Prey".
