Jack Sparrow/Relationships

## Family

### Edward Teague

Jack, since he was a teenager, doubted that Teague was even his father. He just called him "The-Man-Who-Might-Be-Father". However, Jack did admire his father and loved him in his own way. Teague would mostly appear in his son's life when Sparrow was in a pickle. Jack would later fall in love with his father's ways and adapted his appearance in later adulthood. Their strained relationship is seen when Jack went wide-eyed as Barbossa called on the keeper of the code.  also seems slightly disgusted that his father kept his mother's shrunken head.

After his escape from the British Navy in On Stranger Tides, Jack said, "hello Dad" as soon as Teague shot the man who almost killed Jack.

### Grandmama

Jack had an unusual relationship with his grandmother, who tried to murder him a couple of times. However, this was her way of showing her love for her grandson.

## Friends/Allies

### Bilbo Baggins

Jack first meets Bilbo in the first Hobbit Pirates of the Caribbean crossover, where he saves both the Hobbit's and Elizabeth Swan's lives. However, when he threatens Elizabeth for the fist time, he points his pistol at Bilbo, but doesn't intend to shoot him for the shot meant for Barbossa. He later saves Bilbo's life again when Barbossa intended on shooting Bilbo and Sparrow shoots Barbossa before he can kill the Hobbit.

By *Dead Man's Chest*, the two are good friends, but Bilbo still doubts Jack when he does stupid stunts. After Jack is eaten by the Kraken, Bilbo is among those who mourn for the captain and friend's sudden death.

During *On Stranger Tides*, Jack spends the entire time keeping his word to Thorin Oakenshield and keeps an eye on the hobbit by protecting Bilbo.

### Elizabeth Swann

Elizabeth and Jack first met when Jack saved both hers and Bilbo's lives. However, he threatens her moments afterwards and Elizabeth sees nothing but disgust for the pirate. She later sees another side to Jack and also declares him a good man along with Will.

In *At World's End*, Jack sympathetically tells her that they are not back and that her father Weatherby Swann is dead. Jack also appoints Liz as the next Pirate King of the Brethren Court, knowing she will go to war unlike all the other Pirate Lords. Elizabeth and Will see Jack struggle with Davy Jones and rushes in to help him. He also pulls her (and Bilbo) away to safety and lets her cry on his shoulder. When they say goodbye to each other, Elizabeth goes to hug him, but Jack declines her and they give a mutual goodbye.

### Will Turner

Jack first meets Will in *Curse of the Black Pearl*, where he and Turner fight in their first duel together. Near the end of the first film, Will believed Jack to be a pirate, but a good man underneath because of him helping the Navy in capturing other pirates. In *Dead Man's Chest*, Will wants Sparrow to sign off the papers and give up the compass that points a person to their heart's desire, but Jack will only do it if Will finds the keys to Dead Man's Chest.

In the last crossover, *At World's End*, both think like each other. Will "thinks like Jack" and sends dead bodies as a sign of their trail. Jack later uses Will's thinking by doing the trick Turner showed him. Will also sees Jack is struggling with Davy Jones in fighting over the key and goes over to help him. Jack is visibly shocked and upset that Jones had stabbed his friend. He fought over stabbing the heart plus letting Will die, or have Will stab the heard and live. Sparrow gave up immortality and helped the son of his friend Bootstrap Bill Turner by stabbing the heart of Davy Jones.

It is unknown how he will react to his presence in *Dead Man Tell No Tales*.

## Enemies

### Cutler Beckett

Jack has known Beckett since *The Price of Freedom* , where Jack once worked for Beckett as a privateer in the British Royal Navy. However, because Jack freed slaves because Sparrow didn't believe in selling people, Beckett cruelly branded Sparrow as a pirate, by imprinting a "P" on his wrist and let Jack watch his beloved *Black Pearl* (then known as the *Wicked Wench*) sink and Sparrow followed soon after.

Sometime later, Beckett learns that Jack had survived and wanted the compass and offered Sparrow a pardon by having Will Turner deliver it, but Jack refuses. They physically meet each other on screen for the first time when Jack and his friends are captured by Sao Feng and the East India Company (EIC). Sparrow was tricking Beckett making him believe who he is willing to show the pirates to Beckett in exchange for Beckett not telling Jones of his survival. However, another reason behind Jack telling Cutler about the pirates was because Jack wanted to get close enough to stab the heart of his mortal enemy, Davy Jones.

### Sao Feng

Sao Feng is one of Jack Sparrow's greatest enemies. For unknown reasons, Jack had brought "great insult" to Sao Feng prior to the film series. Feng punches him when they encounter the Pirate Lord of the China Sea. The only reason Feng would want Sparrow back from the land of the Dead was to kill him (Jack) himself (Feng).
