this is going to come off really stupid... but why is he on the outs with Eleanor and Flint at the beginning? I never really got that exactly spelled out after watching 2x. i heard something about him killing somebody, but never picked it up.

I don't think it's stupid because I don't think it's ever fully explained.

I always took it as a few different things. 1) Vane hated/disliked Flint over Elanor for some reason. Probably because Vane and Eleanor had a history and Eleanor now seems to be siding with Flint instead of him and 2) Flint and Vane have two different views of Nassau. Flint see's Vane as an old school pirate with different plans for Nassau, almost like he's stuck in the past and Flint wants a change to Nassau, more progressive. So just their outlook on things are completely different.

I could be wrong on both of those, but that's kind of how I viewed it.
