== Charactah Account ==
Will was a blacksmith from Port Royal, who loves Elizabeth Swann, the governor's daughter. He was found shipwrecked and (presumably) orphaned roughly ten years before the first movie takes place. Excellent swordsman, but a little too naive when it comes to dealing with pirates, before he takes some levels and understands how the world really rolls in those circles. Proceeds to continue his badass training and power-leveling in the course of second and third movies and eventually becomes the captain of the legendary Flying Dutchman.
Will, the son of a pirate, had given up his place in colonial society. Having spent a life in pursuit of honor, Will must betray everything he believed in to save the ones he loves, including the love of his life and a father he had never known. The son of William "Bootstrap Bill" Turner, Will Turner was an accomplished blacksmith by trade, an excellent swordsman by pursuit and a budding pirate by fate. Until he met Jack Sparrow, swordsmith Will Turner was a simple craftsman. His life revolved around his work, and his distant longing for Elizabeth Swann, a woman he knew could never be his wife.
Will believed his father was a respectable merchant seaman. When he sent Will an Aztec Medallion, his son thought it was just an exotic trinket that he had picked up on his travels. But his world was soon turned upside down, where he found himself sucked in a nightmarish world of pirates, ghouls, adventure, and betrayal. Will would be shocked and dismayed when Jack revealed to him that his father was Bootstrap Bill Turner, "a good man, and a good pirate." Will was then torn between two worlds—one imposed by the strict standards of society and the other dictated by the freedom of leading the pirate life. He soon embraced his pirate heritage as he pursued his own purposes; sailing the seas to save his father, find his true identity and reunite with his true love Elizabeth Swann. Despite Will's best efforts to adhere to the social class structure, he realizes that some rules are meant to be broken.
