For two years, Jack was captain of the Black Pearl until the adventure to the Isle de Muerta with Hector Barbossa. It was Hector that bastard who then lead a mutiny against Jack because of Jack's non-violent solutions to problems. They marooned Jack on an island and left him for dead. He was picked up three days later by rum runners but had quite the grudge against his mutinous first mate, saving the single shot pistol he had been left with for Boobossa Barbossa. Bastardossa Barbossa and his crew goes on to share in the Curse of Cortes, which Jack escapes the fate of since he was abandoned. It was then that Bootstrap, a member of the original mutiny crew, regretted what had happened to Jack and sent his son a coin from the treasure, ensuring that Barbossa's crew would remain cursed. For this, Barbossa sent Bootstrap to the bottom of the ocean tied to a cannon. After Jack's rescue from the island he then embarks on a extensive mission to reclaim the Pearl which is rightfully his. Eight years he spent on the seas gaining

Elizabeth is a cruel and heartless wench burns all the rum on the island in a massive smoke signal to get rescued. Elizabeth and Sparrow both cut deals to get back William and The Black Pearl. They manage to get to Isle de Muerta where Jack uses his tongue to stop Barbossa from sacrificing Will, and to distract the former first mate while he steals one of the cursed coins for himself. This results in a rather epic battle between Barbossa and Jack- where it cumulates with Will spilling some of his blood, effectively lifting the curse, and Jack firing a single shot and killing the now mortal Barbossa. Jack is captured, again, and sentenced to hang at Port Royal. With conspiracies of his loyal crewmates, his true first mate Gibbs and William- they free Jack from the gallows and reunite him with the Black Pearl.

Five! insert witty title here.kptn_sparrowMay 13 2011, 22:35:04 UTC
In the end it is Norrington who acquires the heart and takes off with it. Jones catches up with The Black Pearl and fires upon the ship. The Black Pearl outruns the Flying Dutchman and Jones releases the Kraken to take revenge upon Jack. The crew gets attacked by the big beastie, and Jack, in a moment of cowardice takes off in the only longboat left on the ship. While watching the crew and the Black Pearl take a beating he has a crisis of conscious and guilt and rows back to this ship. Here he helps make the last stand against the Kraken and help makes a large explosion that makes the angry sea creature retreat for a moment to regroup. Jack has everyone abandon ship, but before he is able to retreat along with the crew, Elizabeth betrays him and chains him to the mast of the doomed Pearl. The crew that's left, leaves the ship, while Jack faces his fate with the Pearl as he did with the Wicked Wench and is killed by the Kraken and pulled beneath the waves and into Davy Jones Locker

Jack breaks the code about how to leave the Locker in another fit of madness, and rocks the ship until it is pointed upside down. Which brings the ship right-side up and back in the Caribbean. Realizing that they are all alive, there is a moment where all realize that they could settle scores and debts now depending on who got shot. Wet powder saves them all to fight again another day. In another twist of fate, Sao Feng turns up and takes command of the Pearl with Willam's help. Beckett arrives and Jack tries to strike a deal with his former boss. He was to lead Beckett to Shipwreck Cove and the Brethren Court where Jack was to lead the Court and pirates out of the defensible den. Jack disables Beckett's ship from pursuit while Sao Feng makes off with Elizabeth in another ship. William, still loyal to Beckett, was leaving a trail of dead bodies as bread crumbs for the bastard gentleman to follow. Jack, perhaps not quite trusting William any longer but trusting in William's nature, sends him overboard with a body and The Compass

6. Personality: Jack is undoubtedly the worst/best pirate of the seven seas. He morality seems to always be in question, though he has not been accused of really foul things- the only murder on his record would be Hector Barbossa's and even then the bastardhe didn't stay dead. He is an honorable man, for a pirate, and tells the truth more often than not. Jack's first action is to try and talk his way out of whatever trouble he has caused, been involved in or is headed his way to no fault of his own. He is verbose, outgoing, a spazz, and takes great pride in running and saving skin than trying to save face. He is animated at nearly all that he does. Occasionally now under great duress, he will be seen talking to himself- a holdover of his insanity of being left in Davy Jones locker for an extended period of time.

10. Languages: English, and Umshoko ( the language of the Pelegostos )
11. Items: He has on his person, a number of artifacts. He has a ring on nearly every finger. There are the trinkets of bead, bone and kraken tooth in his hair. And the shrunken head of his mother hangs from his belt, a gift from his father.
There is notably also the world map, and The Compass That Does Not Point North. - which will point to his desires, most of the time!

I would like to express my most deepest gratitudes to the people involved in the rescue of my person. While I have the upmost respects for those who have seen fit to rescue me from a fate unimaginable, there are a few, small , additional requests I would like to make for the benefit of all.
Firstly. More rum. There clearly isn't enough to last us a day, let alone an unmentionable and unknowable amount of time. I fear we'll be bone dry and well on our way to unpleasantness without the benefits of rum. Ghastly. We wouldn't want that. It needs to be addressed immediately, with the greatest haste!
Secondly, more wenches. You can never have enough of nubile female creatures available for wooing. The more, the merrier says I!
15. Tattoo: Right below the pirate brand on his right arm.

The Curse of Cortes refers to the curse upon gold inside a chest on the Isle de Muerta. It is gold that the Aztec natives were to pay to Cortes so that he would stop killing them. Cortes' greed could not be stemmed and so the gods of the people he slaughtered placed a curse upon the blood money- that anyone who removed a piece of gold from the chest would be cursed for eternity. The curse itself turned the men of the Black Pearl into immortal men who were neither alive, or dead. They were still longing and hungry and thirsty, but could not taste the food they ate or feel refreshed by drink. They were to live a half-life because of their greed for the gold. It is only under the moonlight that the true nature of the curse becomes visually apparent, and the bodies of the cursed men becoming skeletons
