Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean)

Davy Jones, also known as Captain, Captain Calamari, Davy J, Devil of the Deep, Fish-Face, Lord of the Deep, Lord of the Locker, Lord of the Sea, Old Hob, Ruler of the Ocean Depths, Scungilli and Vile Squid-Man, is a character from the Pirates of the Caribbean series.
== Charactah Account ==
The supernatural ruler of the Seven Seas is the condemned captain of the Flying Dutchman. A fearsome captain, striking terror into the bravest of sailors, Jones became the stuff of various myths and legends of Pirate Lore, particularly relating to the Dutchman and Davy Jones' Locker.
Jones was known for his sadistic ways, showing no more care for his own crew than his foes. Proud, cruel, and hateful, Jones was a creature of malice. Perhaps a nihilist as a result of Calypso's perceived betrayal, the only thing he seemed to enjoy was to ensure the lives of those around him were as miserable and joyless as his own one. He regularly mistreated his own crew as well, believing that all humans should suffer through the afterlife with much pain; this is backed up by his proclamation of "Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different?".
Jones was not credulous and therefore when somebody had a debt to him or performed a mission for him, he used to mark them with a magical sign or kept a good-faith payment, which allowed Jones to ensure that this person will do what he requested from him. Nevertheless he had some trust in at least some of his crewmen as evidenced by the fact that on certain occasions he allowed them to go ashore when this was necessary and he even had four most trusted mates aboard the Dutchman: Maccus, Ratlin, Penrod and Angler. Although Jones demanded good faith from others, he was treacherous and unreliable and felt no obligation to return in kind.

== Trivia ==
* It is implied in the movies that Davy Jones used to be a far nicer person before Calypso betrayed him (Calypso, in fact, outright states he used to be merciful once). After the betrayal, however, no more.
* In a deleted scene where Will beats him at the first game of Liar's Dice for Bootstrap's soul, Jones calmly replies "Well done, Master Turner," and barely seems phased at all.
* Jones might be a cruel and outright psychopathic murderer, but he's also a wicked good organist, who provides his own leitmotif. His cruelty is also the result of a broken heart, and/or self-loathing for the way he got revenge for said broken heart.
* Jones' monstrous form is a fusion of an octopus and a crab, a predator and its prey. Crabs are associated with Calypso in the films, thus Jones' monstrous form is the embodiment of his hatred born of love towards her.
* Davy Jones' appearance bears a strong resemblance to H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu, with Cthulhu being described as "...a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet..." according to The Call of Cthulhu.
