In 1839, Brook went to Borneo, where he received the status of White Rajah after helping the Sultan to suppress the rebellion in Sarawak. Brook became fascinated by the local nature and people and dedicated his life to fighting slavery and piracy. He opposed British imperialism, which is why he was eventually charged with murder and piracy, which, however, could not be proved.
