Doctor Livesey
A good friend of Dr. Livesey, Squire Trelawney is also present at the unveiling of the treasure map, and it is he who tells everyone just how frightening and powerful a pirate Captain Flint was known to be. It’s the squire who takes on ownership for the Hispaniola, and he does feel a great deal of responsibility for the voyage, but he can also be a little too wont to gossip and chatter. This leads Long John Silver (as well as many others at the Bristol port) to hear about the treasure hunt, giving him the chance to manipulate Trelawney such that much of the crew ends up being composed of pirates loyal to Silver.
