Okay, so, class.
Hello, published historian here.
As much as I love the headcanon that maybe Izzy is nobility etc, I have bad news about the British class system pre-Industrial Revolution and even a century or more post-I.R.
Our Flag Means Death is of course a rubberband reality. But.
That boy’s highly likely going nowhere, my guys, he is vocally Liverpool-by-way-of-Wigan. He dresses functionally-but-smartly, but he curses, he spits, he’s comfortable walking alone in dangerous spaces and talking to the people who live there. He’s consciously coded as a skilled working class man. What that means in 1717 is… congratulations, you have one trade that’s been passed down to you and that’s your place, do not move, you do not pass Go.
Stede Bonnet? That’s the guy who can beat you to death with legal impunity. You probably brought it upon yourself.
Even a full century after Stede Bonnet’s reign of incompetency, a skilled and clever working class man could rise in the ranks of the British army - if he were an anomaly - but socially he would be shunned by his peers in rank. HARD.
A lot of young men fell into piracy the way most of us now fall into retail. We need money, it’s there.
So Izzy is a man who’s been born, grown up, and matured amongst people he knows with similar abilities and if he runs away before that (people rarely upped sticks with a full family pre-Industrial Revolution) he’d better have a marketable skill. A reliable way to learn or hone that skill? Boarding a ship as a child. And does that suck?
Oh boy, does it suck. We’re talking likely violent or contagious death, not to mention all the other things that can happen to unattended children. But at least you can learn. You can rise through the ranks. But society? Forget it, you dirty slag.
Because it gets worse! Stede fucking Bonnet, despite being the creme-de-la-creme of Barbados society, would have zero chance - I mean NONE - of being accepted in London by those he considered his equals. He was a dirty colonial, despite all his ruffles and marmalade and wealth, so imagine what Izzy had to look forward to. An unmarked pauper’s grave? Yeah. And space was at a premium, so as a working class person you could safely expect your bones to be turfed out into the river if someone else needed the plot. During a period when Resurrection was accepted doctrine, what this meant in spiritual terms was that poor people had no souls.
Have a go at tracing the grave of an ancestor from c.1700s Britain. Good luck.
So as much as it will be super cool to find out Izzy had a past in the Royal Navy etc etc - which would be super interesting and definitely plausible - it’s highly unlikely he’s anything other than bog standard working class. Maybe a working class boy who’s beaten the odds.
But if I were a young man in 1717 and a rich clueless dude boarded my ship with zero prior experience and wanted to take charge… I’d kill him.
I’d kill him so hard.

"See? It's better when you tell it, mom."
[id: Digital sketch of Lady Usher and Roxie, a redraw of Jessie Willcox Smith's 1908 illustration "My Home is in my Mother's Eyes". Lady Usher sits in a white nightgown and shawl over her shoulders, hand supporting young Roxie, who is hugging her waist. Lady Usher's shawl is pale blue with faint stars on it and she's wearing a star necklace. Roxie's red hair is tied in two braids that end in little black bows. She's in Mary Janes and a pale pink dress, that matches her also pale pink socks, which have a faint flower pattern on them. On the right of the image reads "Little bits of stardust ." /end id]

redrew an old thing from late 2016 now that my powers have grown (old ones under cut)
[id: two drawings from bbc merlin. in the first, merlin stands in modern attire, eyes golden as he conjures a ghostly image of arthur before him: the ghostly arthur appears asleep, in his armour and with his sword as he was on his funerary boat. in the second drawing, merlin stands alone, hand and expression both dropped as he releases the image of arthur. end id.]
