Captain Thunderbolt, whose real name was Frederick Henry Thompson, was an infamous Australian bushranger active in the 1860s. He committed various crimes, including robbery, horse theft, and armed hold-ups, targeting both individuals and stages. His daring exploits earned him a reputation as a folk hero, but he was ultimately captured and hanged in 1870. His criminal activities reflected the lawlessness of the time and contributed to the romanticized image of bushrangers in Australian history.
