I'v been playing total war and I noticed that in a recent patch it included a patch for Hannibal which gave him a patch as well I have been playing see of thieves which is a pirate game where you can wear patches such as the patch on day one that included the day one patch which was an eye patch so did Hannibal inspire pirates to wear eye patches?
Patch/Edit: I noticed no ones responded yet but i wanna just make sure everyone knows im talking about Hannibal from total war not hannibal from the tv show or movie

I'm thoroughly confused. Aside from Hannibal in a video game being completely unable to influence 16-19th century pirates, you know he was a historical person?
This earlier answer from u/DavidAOP explains the origins of the modern visual image of pirates.
