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 over baked 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 honour. 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 favourite article of clothing. A compass
that shows its user what he wants most in 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.
