Edward Newgate, also known as Whitebeard, is the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He is part of the Yonko, the 4 emperors of the New World, alongside Big Mom, Blackbeard, Kaidou and Red-Haired Shanks. The Yonko are part of the San Dai Seiryoku, the Three Great Powers. The other two great powers are the Marine Headquarters and the Shichibukai, the seven warlords of the sea.

Whitebeard is said to be the strongest man in the world and the pirate closest to obtaining the legendary treasure, One Piece. It is said that Whitebeard used to have numerous battles with the late Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, and was marked as his equal in the past.
