“Captain” Jack Sparrow, played by actor Johnny Depp, is a notorious pirate who uses wit and manipulation to trick people into getting his way. Hardly known as an honest person, he was captain of the Black Pearl before Captain Balbosa took his place. Working with Will Turner to rescue Elizabeth and find his ship, the two men put their skills together to conquer the famous pirate ship. Jack finds himself in several interesting situations, only to find more interesting escape tactics. Wise about people and pirates alike, he knows how to get what he wants, even though lying is a habit in reaching his goal. Intelligent and witty, he knows something that Balbosa doesn’t throughout the first movie…he has the real Bootstrap Bill Turner’s offspring to reverse the cursee, and Balbosa does not. This is the power he holds to re-become Captain of the Black Pearl.
