Trivia: Who is the murderous pirate that instigates mutiny in “Treasure Island”?

Billy Bones
Ben Gunn
Jim Hawkins
The correct answer is Long John Silver
So why is this answer correct? : The manipulative pirate Long John Silver gains the trust of protagonist Jim Hawkins, only to be revealed as the leader of the mutiny on the ship. Jim catches Silver murdering one of the crewmen, and realizes he plans on killing more once the treasure is found. Author Robert Stevenson keeps readers guessing until the very end, when Silver sneaks off the ship with a portion of the treasure and is never heard from again.
