Hector Barbossa

Hector Barbossa, also known as Captain, First Mate, Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea, Privateer and Scourge of the Caribbean, is one of the main characters from the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
== Charactah Account ==
Hector controls the undead crew of the Black Pearl who ravaged and burned every city they ran on while trying to collect every single piece of the magical Aztec Gold that cursed them when they stole it and spent it on booze, games and pleasurable company. He's the very picture of a Magnificent Bastard and, as it pits him against the protagonists, he bites the big one.
Hector is resurrected by Tia Dalma when the heroes (and other forces) need him and Jack to return. He's ambitious and big on the double-cross, willing to take out anyone who stands in his way, but really, he's just trying to take control of his life back. By the third movie, he's graduated to something of a weird uncle to Elizabeth especially, despite his originally having kidnapped her and threatened her life, and a particular respect develops between them (to the point of Elizabeth asking him to perform her and Will's marriage ceremony, albeit in a hurry).
Hector remains arrogant, though, and is always convinced — and manages to convince others — that his straightforward plans are foolproof. He then proceeds to shoot himself in the foot, along with the feet of anyone foolish enough to follow him. Takes over Blackbeard's ship and crew at the end of the fourth movie, and gains his powers.

== Trivia ==
* According Geoffrey Rush, Barbossa dresses like a very courtly gentleman from the previous era, implying his secret wish to belong to the upper-class. He wears a lot of jewellery, is really proud of his big black hat. Played for laughs in On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales, when he dresses like an upper-class nobleman and even puts on a beauty mark, while he is still having nail fungus, bad teeth, and adust skin.
* Despite being killed off at the end of the first film, Barbossa was popular enough to be brought back from the dead at the end of the sequel and since then has become a staple of the franchise, outlasting everyone save Jack himself.
* According to the the creators, this is why Barbossa was always going on about apples. He eats apple slices with a knife and fork in On Stranger Tides, and later seems to be eating cubed apples with chopsticks in Dead Men Tell No Tales.
* As an undead pirate with a massive beard and a tendency towards being a large ham, Barbossa is very reminiscent of LeChuck.
* Barbossa is close to Barbarossa, a 15th century Ottoman corsair whose nickname "Papa Oruç" was mondegreened into Barbarossa (Redbeard in Italian).
