Swashtober 23: The Reverend Doctor Syn!
The mild-mannered elderly priest of the village of Romney Marsh doesn't like seeing corrupt Napoleonic-era naval press gangs enslaving his coastal parishioners, so he does what any good clergyman would do: dusts of his killin' skills from his former life as a believed-dead murderous pirate to wreak horrifying havoc on the officers of King George while disguised as a scarecrow. From the 1915 novel by actor and Gallipoli veteran Russell Thorndike.

I am pretty sure the heads behind him are Benedict Stark, the Voodoo Master, and Shiwan Khan, his only recurring villains.
