==Background==
Mayor Dix took advantage in becoming a politician in becoming the mayor of the town of Saint Martin living with his wife Frances. During his duty with his close collaborator John Scarfield, Dix's reputation was opening a bank in Saint Martin taking his advantage in transforming the island into a destination for wealthy people, showing that he cared about taking care of the island as well. Bound to the law, he hired Scarfield to keep an eye out for threats that occur around the island, such as pirates and other riffraff.
During his encounter with Jack Sparrow who was spotted across town and Carina Smyth who escaped from her prison cell being accused for witchcraft, Dix and Scarfield planned an execution for them and their plans to capture them was successful.

===Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales===
Mayor Dix is first seen announcing the grand opening of a new bank within the town of Saint Martin, the Royal Bank of Saint Martin, in front of a crowd of people. Expecting that the bank would not have any robberies inside, he then opens the safe to find Jack Sparrow sleeping inside. Fearing that he saw a pirate sleeping inside the safe, Jack suddenly woke up and Dix planned to order a group of Royal Marines to shoot him. However, before the marines can kill Jack, they suddenly find a woman inside the safe who is none other than Dix's wife Frances. Soon as Frances runs away with her husband, Dix ordered the marines to kill Jack and go after him during the robbery of the bank.
After the bank was destroyed, Dix and a group of marines found Jack within the town and arrested him for his crimes. The next day during the executions of Jack and Carina, Dix was present in the audience gathered for the execution where the mayor sat with his wife during the event where Jack was to be killed being beheaded via guillotine and Carina was to be hung via noose. However, during the execution, Jack and Carina began stalling the execution, much to the mayor's impatience, ordering the executioners to kill them immediately. Just before Jack or Carina could be killed, Henry Turner and the crew of the Dying Gull arrived and disrupted the execution in a plan to save Jack and Carina, much to the mayor who is furious that his plans have failed while taking on a group of marines during a violent ambush.
Following the escapes of Jack Sparrow and Carina Smyth, Dix ordered Scarfield on a quest to capture them; however, Scarfield's plan to capture them was unsuccessful during a twist of events where he died during the explosion of the Essex caused by the Silent Mary.
