List of Pirates of the Caribbean characters
[a] After escaping King George's Royal Guards, Sparrow becomes reacquainted with his love interest Angelica,[7] a woman from his past and the daughter of Blackbeard, who forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge.
Later, Jack reunites with Gibbs, who used Sparrow's compass to locate and retrieved the shrunken Black Pearl in the hope of restoring it to normal size, yet determined to continue living the pirate's life.
In the film, Barbossa joins forces with Will, Elizabeth, and the Black Pearl crew in their attempt to rescue Jack from the Locker and rally the Brethren Court against Lord Cutler Beckett.
After Jack Sparrow's capture and escape from King George, Barbossa sails the HMS Providence with Joshamee Gibbs, Groves, Gillette, and an entire British crew to find the Fountain before the Spanish.
In the fifth film, Dead Men Tell No Tales, Hector Barbossa settled into a growing and prosperous pirate empire, taking possession of the Queen Anne's Revenge as a result of defeating Captain Blackbeard.
Using Jack's compass, Gibbs finds Queen Anne's Revenge and steals Blackbeard's collection of ships which are magically imprisoned in bottles, including Black Pearl.
William "Will" Turner Jr. appears in the first three films in the series (The Curse of the Black Pearl, Dead Man's Chest, and At World's End) and is one of the leading men, portrayed by Orlando Bloom.
With the character originally written by screenwriters Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, Stuart Beattie, and Jay Wolpert, is the only child of pirate William "Bootstrap Bill" Turner.
[21] With the character originally written by screenwriters Ted Elliott, Terry Rossio, Stuart Beattie, and Jay Wolpert, she is the daughter of Governor Weatherby Swann.
In Dead Man's Chest, Elizabeth has ended her engagement with Norrington in favor of marrying Will Turner; their wedding is interrupted when they are arrested by Cutler Beckett for piracy.
He was stationed aboard HMS Dauntless as it made the crossing from England to Port Royal, carrying Governor Weatherby Swann and his young daughter, Elizabeth.
At a mass hanging of people convicted of piracy or association with pirates, the prisoners start singing Hoist the Colours, a signal for the Brethren to assemble, as planned by Beckett.
He places Admiral Norrington on board the Dutchman with the Dead Man's Chest, with marines pointing bayonets at the heart at all times, forcing Jones to obey Beckett's commands more precisely.
Dying, Feng pronounces Elizabeth the captain of Empress, and gives her his "piece of eight", a jade stone on a necklace, telling her that she must take his place at the Brethren Court.
Knowing that she will try to avenge her father, Jack then maroons her on a small desert island named Sola Fide Beach and gives her a pistol loaded with one shot.
Seeing that he still loves her, Angelica tries to convince Jack not to leave her on the island by claiming she has knowledge of several artifacts that can give him control of the ocean and that she is pregnant with his child, but he doesn't fall for either of her ruses.
[38][39] Based on the historical figure and notorious pirate of the same name, Blackbeard is an element retained from the novel On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, from which the film draws inspiration.
In Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio's screenplay of On Stranger Tides, Jack Sparrow has a ring pilfered from Tia Dalma's shack in Dead Man's Chest, which he gives to Angelica, who said she had to trade it to learn the "rules of the Fountain" known as the profane ritual.
"[49] Although Tia Dalma was not directly referenced in the final cut of the film, her backstory with Angelica would still be mentioned in other media, notably Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: The Visual Guide.
[50] Around the release of On Stranger Tides in 2011, Naomie Harris stated that she was asked to record some Tia Dalma lines that would be said in the film by Penélope Cruz, who portrayed Angelica.
As part of a backstory worked out by both Arenberg and Crook, their characters' full names are Abner Pintel and Terry Ragetti; they were uncle and nephew, and shared half a brain.
As the Pearl sinks along with Jack, Pintel and Ragetti, along with Will Turner, Elizabeth, Mr. Gibbs, Cotton, and Marty, go back to Tia Dalma's shack where they are enlisted in a search and rescue mission to Davy Jones' Locker by Barbossa, their former captain.
However, Crook ultimately decided to not reprise his role as Ragetti to focus in his TV series Detectorists[55] and Arenberg confirmed he was not joining the filming of Dead Men Tell No Tales in Australia.
Although Cotton does not appear in On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales, his parrot is seen trapped on Black Pearl, which was magically shrunk and imprisoned in a bottle by Blackbeard.
Although Pintel and Ragetti were confused, Captain Teague explains the dog's presence by saying, "Sea turtles, mate," a reference to Jack Sparrow's tall tale of his own escape from being marooned.
After they rescue Elizabeth, the Dauntless sailed to Isla de Muerta, where she warns Lieutenant Gillette about the curse of the pirate crew aboard Black Pearl, but he refuses to believe her, saying "a little mermaid" flopped on deck and told the whole story.
Having been saved off-screen, Theodore Groves later resurfaces in the events of On Stranger Tides, and is promoted to lieutenant commander while working under Captain Barbossa aboard HMS Providence to find the Fountain of Youth before the Spanish do.
Ian Mercer,[71] portrayed by David Schofield, is Lord Beckett's facially scarred, loyal personal assistant in Dead Man's Chest and At World's End.
Bellamy is initially reluctant to sail to a pirate port, but Elizabeth dangles her dress from the mast of the ship like a puppet, making it seem as though it is a spirit telling him to go to Tortuga, which he does.
Shortly after leaving Tortuga (where Elizabeth departs from the ship), Bellamy rescues Will Turner from the sea after the latter escapes from the Flying Dutchman with the key to the Dead Man's Chest.
