Dead Pirate

The Dead Pirate is an enemy in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow. It is a zombie pirate cursed by its own greed.
==Origins==
While stories of dead buccaneers coming back to life to protect their buried treasures have been told for many generations, perhaps their appearance in the Castlevania series was inspired by various depictions of them in popular culture. Novels like Robinson Crusoe, The Corsair, The Pirate, or Treasure Island, among others, as well as the film Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, may have been the inspiration for these characters.
It should not come as a surprise these kind of enemies eventually appeared in the series, as sunken and ghost ships are frequent environments present in many games.
==Description==
True to his name, the Dead Pirate is in fact a zombie pirate wielding a long falchion. He attacks by jumping and then landing while slashing his sword. If the player is not careful, he can corner them and deal massive damage.
His soul is arguably one of the most useful souls in the game. It grants the Backstab ability, which allows Soma to deal double damage to enemies if he attacks them from behind.
