During his captaincy, Hendrick received a piece of Kidd's map containing clues to the location of his Shard of Eden. He also received a letter from Kidd, in which he confided that he was holed up in Boston, and that a particular group was intent on obtaining his Shard. Hendrick died around 1762 when the Octavius became stranded in ice, while looking for the Northwest Passage. In 1776, the Assassin Connor found his corpse, and retrieved van der Heul's piece of Kidd's map.
