Father to the Lucia Marquez (Lady Black) Alejandro Ortega de Marquez was a privateer, who led Spanish charges through the colonies, and personally seized several smaller West Indie islands in the name of King Philip V of Spain. He is rumored to have spent a year or more living among the Taino, though the exact location is not clear. Unbeknownst to his wife and children in Spain, he may even have taken a Taino bride and fathered one or more children.
