The fortress was mostly known to be under command of the Spanish Army, notably during Carlos' time as magistrate of Isla Tesoro. At some point, the fort was assaulted by a group of pirates, led by the Pirate Captain of the Wicked Wench. Though, the Spanish manage to hold their ground from the pirates, the soldiers lost the fortress and many more pirates invaded the town. These pirates eventually managed to raid the armory where, in their inebriated state, they toyed with the numerous weapons and dangerous implements kept there.
