List of Pirates of the Caribbean characters

This is a list of minor characters appearing in the film series Pirates of the Caribbean.

The Black Pearl (under Captain Barbossa)

This crew was originally raised and captained by Jack Sparrow. 10 years prior to The Curse of the Black Pearl, they all supported Barbossas mutiny and soon after that all of them became cursed after taking a piece from the cursed Aztec treasure. The curse made them immortal but robbed from them the possibility to feel, taste or smell anything and let them turn into rotten skeletons in moonlight.

Bo'sun

Bo'sun is the Boatswain of Captain Barbossa's crew, played by Isaac C. Singleton, Jr. and voiced by Fred Tatasciore in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow. He is a large man of African descent and is covered in ritual facial and body scarring. These scars and his thick accent suggest that he was an African who was brought to the Caribbean as a slave.

He is also one of the Cursed Pirate enemies in the Port Royal world of Kingdom Hearts II, voiced by Beau Billingslea. In the game he fights using two handaxes.

Clubba

Clubba was a background member of Barbossa's crew. He was played by David Patykewich. He is bald and slouches. He is seen a lot of the time with Maximo.[1]

Dog Ear

A background crewman, Dog Ear was portrayed by Tobias McKinney.[2]

Grapple

Grapple is one of the cursed pirates serving under Captain Barbossa in The Curse of the Black Pearl, played by Trevor Goddard. He earns his nickname because he fights with a large grappling iron. He is paired with Mallot and commonly portrayed as the older brother in fanfiction. He fights with Will Turner during the siege of Port Royal, during which a falling sign knocks him through a shop window, and later in his skeleton form terrorizes Elizabeth aboard the Black Pearl by swinging with her through the air on a rope. He is also responsible for holding a struggling Will back while Elizabeth is being marooned alongside Jack. At the end of the film, he and Mallot are left aboard the Black Pearl to guard the prisoners and are knocked into the ocean after Elizabeth helps them escape.

A deleted scene shows Grapple and Mallot having a brief argument over sharing the cake as their first meal after the anticipated removal of the curse.

Hawksmoor

Michael W. Williams played this pirate.[3]

Jack the Monkey

Jack is a Capuchin monkey; According to Barbossa, Jack was mockingly named after Captain Jack Sparrow. He was Captain Barbossa's pet and sailed with him aboard the Black Pearl and had been cursed along with the rest of the crew. The curse, which robbed Barbossa's crew of their passions and made them undead in moonlight, also bestowed superhuman indestructibility. Jack lost this power like his crewmates when Will Turner lifted the curse. However, in an Easter egg after the film's credits, Jack was shown swimming back into the cave, where he stole an Aztec coin and became cursed again.

Jack, captured, in the hut of Tia Dalma.

A recursed Jack appears in one of the opening scenes of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. His presence on The Black Pearl (captained again by Jack Sparrow) is not explained, but Gibbs mentions that Isla de Muerta and the Aztec treasure sank beneath the sea. The monkey is later captured and bartered to Tia Dalma for information about Davy Jones. The monkey then goes to a back room and climbs on top of a black boot, apparently Barbossa's.

When the resurrected Barbossa reveals himself at the conclusion of the film, Jack is once again perched upon his master's shoulder.

In Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Jack has returned to Barbossa, his owner. In one scene, Jack Sparrow asks if anyone came to save him just because they missed him. When nobody raises their hand, Jack the monkey does, causing Jack Sparrow to flinch in disgust.[4]

Jack in the first movie was played by Tara, a 10-year-old female monkey, and Levi, an 8-year-old male. The Skeletal monkey was added in post-production by Industrial Light and Magic; according to commentary and special features on the DVD, the monkeys were sometimes difficult to work with as they were easily distracted. ("I want to stuff the monkey!" Keira Knightley jokingly exclaimed in the commentary.) Reportedly actor Geoffrey Rush, who played Barbossa, would patiently wait for the monkey to look in the direction it was supposed to, then deliver his lines. In some occasions, a water gun was used to grab the monkey's attention by squirting it a few times. It is said in the commentary that Geoffrey Rush got hit a few times by accident.

In the second and third movies "Dead Man's Chest" and "At World's End" Jack is played by Boo Boo, a twelve year old male monkey and Mercedes, a ten year old female monkey. The monkeys are white-throated (cebus capuchinus) capuchin monkeys. They were obtained in Pennsylvania. Boo Boo loved to play ball and clean his cage and windows. Mercedes loved to ride on her owner's shoulders and eat Rose Petals. The animals were trained by Boone's Animals for Hollywood, Inc.

In the first movie Jack (the monkey) is seen smiling when Barbossa tells Sparrow they named the monkey after him. In the special features on the DVD it is revealed that the monkey did this purely by chance and it was not planned out in any way. A similar incident in the first movie showed Barbossa and Jack the Monkey sharing similar confused looks while chasing The Interceptor in brief scene.

Jacoby

Jacoby is one of the cursed pirates serving under Captain Barbossa in The Curse of the Black Pearl played by Vince Lozano. His gimmick is throwing hand grenades, and his long black beard is almost always wreathed with smoke as if aflame, a gimmick inspired from the historical pirate Blackbeard. He is one of the first clues that there is something supernatural about Barbossa and his men: during the siege of Port Royal, Will Turner hits him in the back with a hatchet and "kills" him, but then Jacoby turns up alive and a short time later, laughs and waves at a flabbergasted Will. At the end of the movie, Jacoby ends up skewered on a metal pole with two other pirates while in their skeleton forms and Will and Elizabeth stick one of Jacoby's grenades into his ribcage and then shove all three of them out of the moonlight, trapping the explosive inside his now flesh-covered body as it explodes, taking him and the two other Pirates with it. Before his demise, Jacoby, with smoke coming out of his mouth looks directly into the camera and whimpers, "No fair!" He is called Blackbeard on the commentary by Keira Knightley.

He is used as one of the Cursed Pirate enemies in the Port Royal world of Kingdom Hearts II, voiced by John DiMaggio. He is also a boss in the video game Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow.

Kartracho

Jose G. Zelaya portrayed this crewman.[5]

Ketchum

Ketchum was played by Jerry Gauny.[6]

Koehler

Koehler is one of the cursed pirates serving under Captain Barbossa in The Curse of the Black Pearl, played by Treva Etienne & voiced by Fred Tatasciore in The Legend of Jack Sparrow. He is a skinny black man with dreadlocks. He is also one of the first clues that there is something supernatural about Barbossa and his men: when he and Twigg encounter Jack Sparrow in the dungeon after mistaking it for the armory, Jack tells them that "the deepest circle of hell" is reserved for betrayers and mutineers such as them, whereupon Koehler reaches through the bars and seizes Jack by the throat, telling him he knows nothing of hell. Koehler's arm passes into a shaft of moonlight and becomes skeletal, showing Jack there was a curse after all.

Koehler is one of the pirates who briefly entertains the idea of overthrowing Barbossa, claiming that every decision he had made led them from bad to worse. But Barbossa stands firm and quells the mutiny. Koehler and Twigg are the ones who rig The Interceptor to explode. At the end of the film, Koehler and Twigg are among the pirates who walk to The Dauntless and board her. During the battle, Koehler fights Commodore Norrington and is impaled by him, thus being mortally wounded when the curse is lifted, and he becomes the first pirate to die (and the only one actually shown dying) during the battle.

Mallot

Mallot is one of the cursed pirates serving under Captain Barbossa in The Curse of the Black Pearl, and was played by Brye Cooper. He wields a large mallet for a weapon and is paired with Grapple, often being portrayed as the younger brother in Fanfiction. When Barbossa's crew is considering mutiny upon discovering Elizabeth is not related to Bootstrap Bill, he points out that Barbossa was the one who ordered Bill Turner to be thrown overboard and thus lost, only furthering the pirate's time as being cursed. At the end of the film, he and Grapple are left aboard the Black Pearl to guard the prisoners and are knocked into the ocean by Elizabeth and Sparrow's crew after Elizabeth Swann helps them escape.

A deleted scene shows Mallot and Grapple having a brief argument over sharing the cake as their first meal after the anticipated removal of the curse.

Mallot is featured twice as a level boss in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow.

Although Koehler is killed in the battle aboard the Dauntless when the curse is lifted, Twigg and the other pirates surrender. He was played by Michael Berry Jr. He is used as one of the Cursed Pirate enemies in the Port Royal world of Kingdom Hearts II.

The Interceptor / The Black Pearl (Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew)

Jack Sparrow raised this crew on Tortuga. Most crewmen were killed and eaten by cannibals on Pelogosto, or killed during the Kraken attack, only a few survived until At World’s End.

Cotton and his Parrot

Cotton is one of the pirates Jack Sparrow and Joshamee Gibbs hire out of Tortuga in The Curse of the Black Pearl. He had his tongue cut out at some point in the past, so he trained his pet parrot to speak on his behalf. No one is quite sure how. Both Cotton and his parrot loyally serve Jack throughout the events of Curse of the Black Pearl and return in Dead Man's Chest. In both films, Cotton is played by David Bailie [13]. His parrot, a Blue-and-yellow Macaw (like many other parrots in pirate movies) was voiced by Christopher S. Capp [14] in the movies and by James Arnold Taylor [15] in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow. He and his parrot are two of the few Black Pearl crew members to survive the Kraken's attack.

He dies on Pelegosto Island alongside several other crewmen when his cage falls into a vast canyon. Leech was portrayed by San Shella. It was revealed in the DVD commentary that Leech was intended to be a character that when dead, would be missed somewhat, and that the directors spent sufficient amounts of time working on him.

LeJon

LeJon is a pirate that serves under Jack Sparrow. He is black, with large hair, and a deep accent. He was one of the pirates the cannibals left alive, and was put in the cage with Marty, Gibbs, Will and Cotton. He accompanied Jack Sparrow during the first visit in Tia Dalma’s house. [20] When the Flying Dutchman calls the Kraken for the second time, LeJon yells, "We must have hit a reef!" When the Black Pearl was under attack from the Kraken, LeJon was picked up by a tentacle while trying to blow up the barrels of gunpower and rum, and eaten by the beast. LeJon is credited by the actor's stage name, which is Lejon.

Marty

Marty is a dwarf pirate that Jack Sparrow and Joshamee Gibbs hire out of Tortuga in The Curse of the Black Pearl. He loyally served Jack throughout the events of Curse of the Black Pearl and return in Dead Man's Chest.

The Flying Dutchman (under Captain Davy Jones)

Each crewman was originally a mortal man who sold his soul to Davy Jones. Over time, each became less human and more sea creature, like the captain himself. There are 19 distinct crewmembers; each was created digitally, except for "Bootstrap Bill" Turner. Note that Wheelback, Ratlin, Angler, and Old Haddy were created entirely at Industrial Light and Magic, instead of being sketched by Crash McCreery.

Angler

Angler is a fat Flying Dutchman crew member with the face of an anglerfish. His right arm is a barracuda. He can be seen out on the deck during Liar's Dice, and is later seen turning the wheel to the Kraken Hammer.

Clanker

Clanker is a crewman with barnacles and mussels all over his face, and seaweed for hair.[26]. Clanker does battle with two balls of chainshot; he was one of the crewmen that Will fought on the wrecked ship, being the first to approach Will while yelling "Down on your marrowbones and pray!". He can later be seen playing Liar's Dice with Koleniko and Maccus. Actor Andy Beckwith performed the part, although the credits misspell the character's name as "Clacker". An action figure of Clanker was released in the first series of Secrets of the Deep action figures by Zizzle. He will get a second in the third series of Dead Man's Chest action figures by NECA. He is seen turning the wheel to the Kraken Hammer.

Crash

Crash is one of the background crew of Davy Jones. He has tendrils coming out of one eye and his right leg is fused with a tentacle. In place of a mouth he appears to have a crab's mandibles.[27][28] Crash also has a sawfish bone sword which he uses to restrain Bootstrap Bill when Davy Jones sends the Kraken after Will Turner. Crash also fights with a pulley. He was played by Patrick Hume.[29]

Greenbeard

Greenbeard, the navigator of the Flying Dutchman, has a latticework of hanging seaweed covering his body. He also has mussels for teeth.[30] He navigates the ship while the crew is asleep, and can also be seen turning the wheel to the Kraken Hammer. Another time when he is seen is when Davy Jones first appears. A man denies Jones' offer to join his crew and has his throat slit and then thrown overboard by Greenbeard. He is played by Jason Kakebeen, although he was uncredited. [31]

Hadras

Hadras is played by Ho-Kwan Tse. His head is protected by a conch shell that sits on top of his neck. [32]Like his fellow crew member Old Haddy, he uses knuckledusters as his weapon in battle. His knuckledusters are visible when he speaks to Norrington on Isla de Cruces, and just prior to the scene where the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman battle with cannons. Hadras speaks Cantonese with a Chinese accent.

Whilst trying to recover the titular chest for Davy Jones, Hadras' conch-shell head was knocked off by a coconut thrown by Jack Sparrow. The disembodied head thereafter had to shout directions to the now blind and headless body. Later, Hadras' body carried the empty Dead Man's Chest back to the Dutchman, and his head scuttled after it by pulling in its face and releasing the legs of a hermit crab. In later scenes aboard the Dutchman, he can be seen with his head re-attached; in the DVD Commentary, the writers acknowledge this and cite the reason as sufficient time having passed for his head to reconnect to his body.

Jimmylegs

Jimmylegs is the bo' sun on the Flying Dutchman. He has the face of a stonefish and has a fin on his back.[33][34] Bill Turner says that he "prides himself on cleaving flesh from bone with every swing."[35] He was also sent to Isla Cruces to recover the chest of Davy Jones. Jimmylegs was played by Christopher Adamson. [36]

Koleniko

Koleniko is a pufferfish-like crew member of the Flying Dutchman in Dead Man's Chest, played by Clive Ashborn.[37] Judging by the orders Davy Jones gives him, he is one of the coxswain. He can be seen playing Liar's Dice on the Flying Dutchman, and winning after Maccus calls him out. During the battle at Isla Cruces, he is seen fighting Jack Sparrow.

Maccus

Maccus is the first mate of the Flying Dutchman under Davy Jones in Dead Man's Chest, and is played by Dermot Keaney. He has the head of a hammerhead shark, his left eye is in the human position and his right is in the hammerhead position, and his back and arms are covered with crustaceal legs,[38], which can be seen on his action figure by NECA, and on the scene in which we first see Davy Jones. The fingers of his left hand also closely resemble crab legs, seen when Will challenges Davy Jones to a game of Liar's Dice. [39] Maccus' name is Celtic for 'hammer', [40] an obvious reference to his transformation. He is seen frequently conversing with Davy Jones throughout the film, as well as losing a game of Liar's Dice against Clanker and Koleniko.

Ogilvey

Ogilvey is the head gunner of the Flying Dutchman which Davy Jones orders to arm the triple-cannons. Ogilvey's face has lost all humanity; he has only one eye at the top of his head and a twisted, inhuman mouth.[41] Ogilvey wears a orange bandana and fights with a hook. When Will was fighting the crew on the wrecked ship, he cut Ogilvey's stomach open, causing fish to spill on the deck. Ogilvey was also seen turning the wheel to the Kraken Hammer. He was played by Jonathan Linsley.

Old Haddy

Old Haddy is a crew member wearing a stocking cap and a green, sleeveless shirt, is covered in mussels and fights with knuckledusters[42]. He can be seen during the Isla Cruces beach fight, when he teams up with Quittance and fight Pintel and Ragetti. Old Haddy is based on Hadras' concept art, before he (Hadras) was redesigned with the hermit crab head. He can be seen turning the wheel to the Kraken Hammer.

Palifico

Palifico is Davy Jones' personal guard, appearing to be primarily reef-like in appearance.[43] He fights with two rusted swords fused to his hands, although he is seen without them through most of the movie. (second from right in [44]) In place of eyes, nose, and mouth, Palifico has a cluster of tentacles and two fanworms in his eye sockets. He is played by Winston Ellis in Dead Man's Chest and was made into an action figure by NECA.[45] He was seen turning the wheel to the Kraken Hammer, and after the Kraken destroys the Black Pearl, he says "The captain goes down with his ship" in reference to Jack Sparrow.

Penrod

Penrod is the half-human, half-lobster member of Davy Jones' crew, played by Peter Donald Badalamenti II.[46] Penrod is a small sailor, a joke on the fact that he resembles a shrimp, with numerous armoured plates on his body. He also has two antennae growing on either side of his nose, and his left leg has split into two lobster-like legs. Penrod was seen, appropriately, holding a knife to Marty the dwarf's throat while Davy Jones was on the Pearl. He also sits near to Bootstrap during the game of Liar's Dice, as seen here.

Quittance

Quittance is one of the background characters on the Dutchman. He has seaweed for hair, an anemone for a mouth and a moray eel growing out of his chest,[47] which reveals itself as Will Turner learns the rules of Liar's Dice. He also has a clam for a right eye. In one scene, he teamed up with Old Haddy and fought Pintel and Ragetti. They knock Quittance to the ground, who grabs for the Dead Man's Chest as they run off with the chest. Quittance was performed by Marc Joseph, although his part was uncredited.[48]

Ratlin

Ratlin is a crew member that appears to have been fused with rope and sailcloth.[49] He can be seen clearly on the ropes when Davy Jones orders the ship underwater. His name is a joke on his description, as ratlin is part of a ship's rigging. Ratlin turns the wheel to the Kraken Hammer.

The Twins

The dual crewmen known as Two-head is two brothers who serve as deckhands and assist in preparations for the summoning of the Kraken.[50] They resemble Siamese twins, though it's not known exactly if they were born that way, or if their current state was a result of their servitude, assimilating each other while adapting sea-creature features. They are joined from the shoulder down, each one with one arm and a third leg ending in a stump where they are connected. One of them, during Liar's Dice, pulls something off of the other one's chest and eats it, and they can later be seen turning the wheel to the Kraken Hammer.

The twins were performed by real-life twins Chris and Michael Symonds, although the part was uncredited.[51]

Wheelback

Wheelback is the member of Davy Jones' crew with a ship's steering wheel embedded in his back.[52] Wheelback talks in strange, garbled gibberish for some reason. One of his arms is fused with a club and one of his eyes is a compass. He can be seen turning the wheel to the Kraken Hammer, and he fights Pintel during the battle on Isla Cruces. Wheelback can also be seen walking in the foreground carrying a lantern when the crew are pulling up the cannon, just before Will Turner gets whipped.

Wyvern

Wyvern's transformation is one of the most dramatic as he integrated into the Flying Dutchman's hull, becoming part of the vessel itself in the form of different species of coral.[53] His role as a crewmember is relegated to forever holding a lantern. Wyvern is the one who tells Will Turner about the Dead Man's Chest. He temporarily pulls himself loose from the wall (exposing his brain, which was both located behind his neck and resembling brain coral) before snapping back to his usual, unconscious state.

Wyvern was played by John Boswall.

The Empress (under Captain Sao Feng)

This Oriental pirate warship is featured in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007). She is maintained by a crew of the supernatural and captained by Sao Feng.

Asia Twins

They are played by Michelle Lee [54] and Adrienne Wong [55]. They attend to Sao Feng and were not chosen merely for their good looks - they are deadly fighters in their own right.

Tai Huang

The Royal Navy

Lieutenant Gillette

Lieutenant Gillete is a Royal Navy officer and Commodore Norrington's personal 1st Lieutenant in Port Royal. Norrington entrusted him the Dauntless twice; one time in Port Royal, when he prepared the Interceptor for the chase after the Black Pearl, but Jack Sparrow and Will Turner managed to capture the Dauntless and then the Interceptor, the second time at Isla de Muerta, when Norrington and the marines went to the cave, Gillette against stayed on the ship and participated in the battle aboard the Dauntless at the end of the film, and managed to survive. Played by Damian O'Hare, he only appears in The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Lieutenant Groves

Another Royal Navy officer, Groves is played by Greg Ellis. [58] He served in Norrington’s crew aboard the Interceptor and after her capture by Jack Sparrow and Will Turner aboard the Dauntless. He also surveved the battle aboard the Dauntless and he’ll return in At World’s End.

Mullroy and Murtogg

Mullroy and Murtogg are two Royal Marines in The Curse of the Black Pearl. Mullroy is played by Angus Barnett [59] and Murtogg is played by Giles New [60]. The two are comic relief characters, similar to Pintel and Ragetti. They both participate and survive in the battle aboard the Dauntless at the end of the film. It appears that by the end of the first film, the duo may have received a promotion, indicated by the color of their hair, now white and in the form of a wig, rather than tied back. They have also received epaulets. However, they do not appear in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

The East India Trading Company

Mercer

Mercer is Lord Cutler Beckett's loyal personal assistant in Dead Man's Chest, played by David Schofield. In addition to these duties he is also a spy and an assassin and does whatever he can to further Beckett's agenda. He killed the captain of the ship that Weatherby Swann had planned to use to rescue Elizabeth. In the DVD Special Features, it is stated that this captain's name is Hawkins. Acording to the leaked script, Mercer will be killed by Davy Jones in At World's End.

The Cartographer

This old man is employed by the EITC and draws a map of the world for Lord Cutler Beckett. When he receives new information about so far unexplored areas and locations, he extends the map. In the original screenplay by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, Gibbs stated that Jack Sparrow was his apprentice when he worked for the EITC.

Captain Bellamy

Captain Bellamy commands the merchant vessel The Edinburgh Trader that Elizabeth Swann stows away on during Dead Man's Chest. Later, his ship picks up Will Turner at sea. However, Will's presence aboard dooms everyone to suffer the wrath of Davy Jones. Jones' monstrous Kraken attacks and sinks the ship; Bellamy is the first to die when he is snatched off the deck by one of the monster's tentacles. He was played by Alex Norton.

Bursar and Quartermaster

Bursar and the Quartermaster are two crewmen of The Edinburgh Trader that found Elizabeth's dress, and thought it belonged to a ghost. They began a heated debate about the nature of the 'ghost' until Elizabeth herself indicated that the ghost desired passage to Tortuga, where the Bursar insisted that they had made a sizeable fortune in Tortuga, though off records. Later, as the Kraken was attacking, the Bursar held out the dress, yelling "Take it, Take it!" before he was swept away by a tentacle. The ultimate fate of the Quartermaster, however, is not depicted onscreen; he was either killed in the Kraken attack, or picked up and executed by Jones's crew. The Bursar was played by Max Baker [61] and the Quartermaster was played by Steve Speirs.

Lieutenant Greitzer

A EITC officer aboard the Endeavour. At some moment he will talk to Cutler Beckett [62] . He is played by David Meunier [63]

Other supporting characters

Scarlett

A woman living in Tortuga, Scarlett is most likely a prostitute, although her occupation is never stated. She has bright red hair and typically sports both a red dress and an excess of blush. She and Jack had met before the first movie, and her animosity (echoing that of Giselle and AnaMaria) became a running gag. After seeing his encounter with Giselle, she demanded to know who Giselle was before slapping him. Jack admitted to Will Turner that he might have deserved that.

Scarlett appears in both films, but in the children's novelization of Dead Man's Chest, she has Giselle's role; she slaps Will Turner as a callback to the gag in the first film. She is based on the redhead in the auction scene of the Pirates attraction. There have also been pictures of her in At World's End. She was played in all three films by Lauren Maher.[64]

She also appears in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow where she is voiced by Nika Futterman.

Giselle

Another woman from Tortuga, Giselle is a blond wench of dubious occupation. Implying a history, Giselle approached Jack in Curse of the Black Pearl and slapped him very hard across the face before storming off again. Jack then remarked that he was not sure he deserved it.

Giselle reappeared in Dead Man's Chest during Will's hunt for Jack Sparrow. Giselle claimed that she had not seen Jack in over a month and asked, "When you find him, will you give him a message?" She then slapped Will.

There have also been pictures of her in At World's End.

Giselle was played by Vanessa Branch.[65]

Mr. Brown

John Brown [66] is the owner of the blacksmith's shop in Port Royal where Will Turner works at the beginning of The Curse of the Black Pearl. He is depicted as a lazy drunkard who sleeps all day, letting Will do all the work and taking all of the credit and the profit. However, he assisted in capturing Jack Sparrow by breaking an empty bottle over his head during his swordfight with Will. He was played by Ralph P. Martin.

The Harbormaster

A British civil servant who was corrupted by handling for many years with pirates, smugglers and various other criminals. His clothes are much too expensively for his content, he paid it with the money he get as bribe. It’s his job to register all ships, goods and persons arriving in the harbor and to collect fees. When Jack Sparrow arrived in Port Royal, he captivated him in order to hide his identity and stole his purse. He was played by Guy Siner [67] and appeared only in The Curse of the Black Pearl.

Jailhouse Dog

The jailhouse dog in the first movie always carries the jail keys in his mouth. Prisoners futilely attempt to retrieve the keys from the dog by any means necessary.

When Jack Sparrow was in the jail, he tells the other prisoners that calling the dog won't work. However, after The Black Pearl blasts a hole in the wall, allowing the other prisoners to escape, a desperate Jack tries calling the dog without luck.

Apparently Pintel and Ragetti are more successful with the pooch. In the second movie, they are seen in a rowboat with the dog who is holding the keys. Somehow they managed to get the keys from the dog and escape jail. During their voyage to Pelegosto, the dog jumped from the boat and swam to shore, waiting at the beach. Shortly after this, the dog runs away from the pursuing cannibals when they have failed to catch Jack. In a post-credits scene, the cannibals have made the dog their new king. According to the Disney 'At World's End' website, the dog will be present during the Brethren of the Coast, yet how he got there is presently unknown.

The dog is based on the canine in the prison scene from the Disney Pirates attraction.

Ships

The Jolly Mon

The Jolly Mon is a fishing trawler originaly owed by Anamaria. Jack Sparrow stole it and arrived on it in Port Royal. On the way, the Jolly Mon get a leak and sunk in the Harbour. Later, on Tortuga, Anamaria accused Jack of stealing the boat, so Jack and will promised her the Interceptor as an exchange.

The Princess

The Princess was a British merchant ship which sailed from England to Jamaica. It was destroyed by a explosion, and the sole survivor, Will Turner was rescued by the HMS Dauntless. There are two possible reasons for the disaster, either an explosion in the powder magazine or an attack by the Black Pearl. Which of these two possibilities was the truth one wasn’t explained neither in the movie nor in the commentaries, the scriptwriters especially mentioned that this remains an unresolved question.
