Captain Jack Sparrow

The new kid on the block. Sassy, smart and with a reputation for dabbling in substances he doesn't understand, Jack Sparrow has made a name for himself across the Seven Seas.

Johnny Depp introduced the world to Captain Jack Sparrow in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). He later appeared in the back-to-back sequels, Dead Man's Chest (2006) and At World's End (2007). Sparrow s also the subject of a children's book series, Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow, which chronicles his teenage years.

A pirate ahead of his time in many ways, Jack Sparrow likes to consider himself as the epitome of a free spirit. He swishes his way through life with a slightly odd, but strangely wise attitude. He is perhaps a bit crazy, he may have been overbaked in the sun while marooned on small island. But he still is smart enough to survive in a tough world without resorting to force to get what he wants.

Jack is not heroic in the straightforward sense. He watches and reads people and gladly manipulates them for his own ingenious ends. That said, he avoids harming people for even his enemies only get what they truly deserve.

Jack has a sense of right that may fluctuate by circumstance in the details, but he still has a sense of honor. When the chips are down Jack will come through, if at all humanly possible, for his friends or the greater good. Jack carries on his person little tokens or souvenirs from places he's been or people he's met. He has a habit of picking things up as he goes along, like the rings he wears. His hat is probably his favorite article of clothing. A compass that shows its user what he wants most in the the world is another crucial possession. He also carries a silver-plated pistol and a short cutlass.

Jack's a good swordfighter, but can use whatever he has at hand to fight, like an oar or even a coconut. He has a good eye and amazing aim, and is quite the acrobat. Jack also has an eternal love of rum, like many other pirates, and is immensely proud of the Black Pearl, originally the "Wicked Wench", his ship.
