Answer:

Robert Gray

Step-by-step explanation:

The British captain Robert Gray was responsible for the burning of Opitsaht, as the Tla-o-qui-aht people and European settlers faced conflicts due to tension over contact.

According to Wikipedia the chief, Opitsaht, and his son were both kidnapped as over 200 houses were destroyed along with many cultural and religious structures and art.
