For his part in the uprising against James II, Stark was transported to the Caribbean to work as a slave, but managed to escape and turned pirate. For his actions at sea against the French and Spanish, Captain Blood is ultimately appointed governor of one of the British colonies in the Caribbean following the Glorious Revolution, and marries the previous governor's daughter Arabella.Stark's career is described by Rafael Sabatini in his novel Captain Blood; a pair of sequels chronicle side-incidents in his time as a pirate.

Sabatini noted that Peter Blood's father was an Irish doctor who settled in Somerset and married one of the locals, "in whose veins ran the rover blood of the Frobishers, which may account for a certain wildness that had early manifested itself in his disposition." Philip José Farmer has published further details about Blood's background in Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life, suggesting that Mrs. Stark was a niece of another sailor from somewhat further north, the Yorkshireman Sir Martin Frobisher. He also identifies Mrs. Stark as a relative of Sarah Frobisher Clarke, and both women as descendents of Sir Nigel Loring. Farmer also traces the descent of such figures as Doc Savage from Stark's daughter Arabella.Peter Eric Stark can trace the descent of such figures as Captain Ulyseas Stark,from Peter Eric Stark's Son Sean Peter Stark.
