PERSONALITY:[/b]
Jack is a trickster who uses banter and deceit to attain his goals, preferring to end disputes verbally rather than by force. He deliberately slurs his words and walks with a drunken stagger to trick people into underestimating him. He has lightning quick wit and he strings words together extremely well, so good in fact he can talk his way out of anything. Jack is indeed a master thief, he manages to diabolically trick others into doing what he wants. Most of the people who fall victim to this usually don't realize it until later or never find out that they were nothing more than mere 'chess pieces' to him.
HISTORY:[/b]
Jack Sparrow, the son of Captain Teague was born in British Colonial India and was once employed by the East India Trading Company. Jack helmed the Wicked Wench, an EITC merchant vessel, performing odd jobs for Cutler Beckett. When Jack refused to transport slaves and instead freed them in Africa, Beckett sanctioned the torching and sinking of the Wicked Wench, and literally branded Jack Sparrow a pirate. Jack came to embrace his outlaw status, becoming a successful pirate with n desire to return to life under the command of others. Later, Jack petitioned Davy Jones to raise his ship from the ocean floor. He then rechristened her the Black Pearl.
About a decade prior to the events of the legendary Curse of the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow was searching for the legendary Chest of Cortez containing cursed Aztec gold. When Sparrow shared the bearings to the chest's location, his first mate Hector Barbossa and the crew mutinied and marooned him on an island with nothing but a pistol containing a single shot. After three days, Jack bartered passage off the island with rum runners. Seeking revenge, Jack kept the pistol to kill his former first mate.
Ten years later, Sparrow arrives in Port Royal to acquire a ship, but he is arrested for piracy after saving Elizabeth Swann, the governor's daughter, from drowning. That night, the Black Pearl attacks Port Royal, seeking the last Aztec medallion that will break the curse that has rendered the crew into immortal skeletons. Elizabeth, who possesses the coin, is kidnapped. The next morning, Will Turner, a blacksmith apprentice whom Sparrow fought in an escape attempt, seeks Jack's help to rescue Miss Swann. Jack agrees only when he realizes that Will the crucial element needed to break the curse and that he can use him to bargain back the Black Pearl. Will frees Jack from jail, and the two commandeer the HMS Interceptor.
After recruiting a crew in Tortuga with help from his old friend, Gibbs, they head to Isla de Muerta, where Sparrow know the pirates will go to break the curse. Once there, Jack and Will infiltrate the cave where a ritual is underway with Elizabeth, whose blood Barbossa believes will break the curse. Mistrusting Jack, Will knocks him unconscious. He rescues Elizabeth, and the escape to the Interceptor, but the Black Pearl pursues them. After a fierce battle, the Interceptor is sunk, and the crew is captured. After learning that Will can break the curse, Barbossa maroons Jack and Elizabeth Swann. To Sparrow's horror, Elizabeth burns an abandoned supply of rum as a signal fire that is spotted by Commodore James Norrington. Jack provides bearings to Isla de Muerta after Elizabeth persuades Norrington to attack the island and rescue Will. At the island, Jack interrupts Will's sacrifice, and informs Barbossa that Norrington is waiting outside to ambush them and proposes they form an alliance. When Barbossa agrees and sense the crew to fight the navy, Sparrow attacks him. Barbossa impales Jack with his sword, believing he is mortally wounded; but, when he stumbles backwards into the moonlight, Jack is revealed to be an immortal skeleton -having snuck a coin from the chest to curse himself. Jack and Will lift the curse just after Jack finally shoots Barbossa. Jack is arrested and returned to Port Royal for hanging, but with the help of Will and Elizabeth, the execution is interrupted, and he escapes by accidently falling off the rampart and into the bay where the Black Pearl is waiting.
Thirteen years prior to Dead Man's Chest, Captain Sparrow obtained the Black Pearl from Davy Jones by bargaining his soul in exchange for one hundred years service aboard the infamous ghost ship, the Flying Dutchman. Now the debt is due. One night, Sparrow's former shipmate, "Bootstrap Bill" Turner appears and marks him with the Black Spot, a sign the Kraken is hunting him. Meanwhile, Lord Beckett arrests Will, Elizabeth, and James for aiding in Sparrow's escape. With Elizabeth in jail, Beckett offers clemency if Will agrees to search for Jack and his compass. Will finds Jack and the crew held captive by cannibals on Pelegosto. They escape, barely making it back to the Pearl.
They then visit Tia Dalma, a voodoo priestess. Jack shows her a drawing of the key; he does not know what it unlocks or where to find it, and his magical compass has failed him. Tia Dalma tells them the legend of Davy Jones and the Dead Man's Chest. Back at sea, the Pearl encounters Davy Jones who has come to claim his debt. Jack tricks Will into telling Jones that he was sent to settle his debt, but Davy Jones tells Jack that one soul is not equal to another, and demands a total of one hundred souls in exchange for Jack's. Sparrow's attempt to haggle a better price fails, and Davy Jones ends up keeping Will as a payment toward the debt, and removes Jack's black spot, giving him three days to find ninety-nine souls.
In Tortuga, Jack and Gibbs recruit unsuspecting sailors. A fallen Norrington applies and then attempts to shoot Sparrow, whom he blames for his ruin. Elizabeth, who escapes from jail, arrives and rescues James from the ensuing brawl. Jack's gets Elizabeth to use his compass, making it work once again. The captain then expresses an amorous interest in Elizabeth, who coyly rebuffs his attempts to woo her. When he attempts to kiss her, the Black Spot suddenly reappears on his palm, and he hastily retreats. The Kraken is on the hunt once again.
On Isla Cruces, Jack, Elizabeth, and James find the chest. Will arrives with the key. Each man claims the heart. Turner hopes to free his father from Jones' servitude, Sparrow wants to escape his blood debt, and Norrington schemes to reclaim his career. James Norrington ends up escaping with the heart after a long sword battle. Back at sea, the Dutchman chases the Pearl, but the Black Pearl outruns her. Jones summons the Kraken. In a moment of cowardice, Jack deserts the Pearl as the crew valiantly fights the monster. However, Jack's underlying loyalty and honor compel him to go back and save his shipmates. Knowing the Kraken will return, he gives the order to abandon ship. Realizing the Kraken is only after Jack, Elizabeth distracts him with a kiss and cuffs him to the mast. She tells the crew that he chose to stay behind. Jack ends up freeing himself and bravely battles the beast, lunging into its toothy maw as the Pearl is dragged underwater. Davy Jones declares their debt settled but is enraged when he discovers the Dead Man's Chest is empty. Meanwhile, Norrington delivers the heart to Lord Beckett. The saddened crew make their way to Tia Dalma's. As she consoles them, she asks if they would be willing to sail to World's End to bring Jack and the Pearl back, to which the crew agrees. Just then the resurrected Barbossa descends the stairs.
Lord Cutler Beckett continues his purge against piracy, hanging pirates, beggars, thieves, and even children without trial. Davy Jones is commanded to attack all pirate ships. In response, the pirate lords comprimising the Brethren Court are summoned to convene at Shipwreck Island; however, the late Captain Jack Sparrow, Pirate Lord of the Caribbean, died without a successor, and therefore must be present. Captain Barbossa leads Will, Elizabeth, Tia Dalma and the Black Pearl crew to Davy Jones' Locker to bring Jack back.
Meanwhile, jack was taken by the Kraken to Davy Jones' Locker, where he was forced to endure the worst punishment he could ever take; his beloved Pearl was stuck on a seemingly-endless desert, while Jack himself was tormented by a series of hallucinations that personified the various aspects of his personality as members of his crew. When Tia Dalma neared the island, she enchanted the rocks to teleport to the Black Pearl, and the rocks cracked open, revealing an army of rock-crabs. They combine their strength to move the Pearl. By this point, his former crew, arrived in the Locker, ostensibly to free Jack. At first Jack thought they were all just mere hallucinations, but was swayed when he saw Elizabeth. Almost immediately a rivalry formed between Jack and Barbossa with both claiming to be the rightful captain of the Pearl.
The charts reveal that a green flash on the horizon signifies a soul returning to earth. When Jack deciphers a clue on it, he realizes the ship must be capsized to escape the Locker. They overturn the ship and upturn back to the living world at sunrise. Shortly after, Sao Feng arrives and attacks the Pearl. He betrayed Will and made another deal with Beckett, but Beckett double crosses Feng. In retaliation, Feng gives the Peal back to Barbossa in exchange for Elizabeth, who he believes is Calypso. Jack is taken prisoner aboard the Endeavour and forms an accord with Beckett to lead his fleet to Shipwreck Island, but he escapes back to the Pearl. Will gets thrown in the brig but later escapes and starts leaving a trail of floating corpses for Beckett to follow. Jack catches him and proposes that he will stab the heart, making himself immortal while being able to free Will's father. Jack then pushes Will overboard, intending to lead Beckett to Shipwreck Island. Will gets rescued by Beckett's ship.
When the Brethren Court disagree over the freeing of Calypso, he tricks them into yielding their Pirate Lord insignias. Meanwhile, Captain Elizabeth Swann arrives on the Empress. Disagreeing over what action to take against Beckett, the Court moves to elect a 'Pirate King', although the lords always vote for themselves. Jack breaks the long-standing stalemate by voting for Elizabeth. She then declares war. During parley with Beckett and Jones, Jack is traded for Will and is sent to the Dutchman's brig. Just before the battle, Barbossa conducts a ritual, freeing Calypso. When Jones mortally wounds Will, Jack helps him to stab the heart of Davy Jones. As Will dies, the crew carves out his heart and places it into the Dead Man's Chest. Jack and Elizabeth escape as the Dutchman is pulled into the whirlpool, but quickly resurfaces with Will at the helm as its new Captain. Uniting forces, the Dutchman and the Pearl destroy the Endeavour, killing Beckett and forcing the armada to retreat. With the battle won, Jack bade farewell to Elizabeth, and sailed to Tortuga.
