Captain **Hector Barbossa** is one of the titlular main protagonists of the *Pirates of the Caribbean* franchise and the deuteragonist of the film series, debuting as the main antagonist of *The Curse of the Black Pearl*, a minor protagonist/anti-hero in *Dead Man's Chest*, the tetertagonist of *At World's End*, the tritagonist of *On Stranger Tides*, and deuteragonist of *Dead Men Tell No Tales*. He is a long time adversary and occasional friend of Jack Sparrow, and originally his the former First Mate until Barbossa and the crew mutinied against, taking command of his ship, the *Black Pearl* and hoped to break the curse that was over his crew. However, in the sequels, Barbossa helps the heroes, such as aiding them in rescuing Jack from Davy Jones' locker and the quest for the Fountain of Youth. During the quest to find the Trident of Poseidon, Barbossa was reunited with his long-lost daughter, Carina Smyth and later sacrificed himself to save her and her crew members.

## Background

Prior to the series, Barbossa was once an honest sailor, who fled from his father (who berated him) at a young age. He was the First Mate and a friend/rival of Jack Sparrow. Barbossa planned a mutiny with the other members of their crew when they saw that Sparrow was unfit to be their captain and marooned him on an island with only a pistol and a shot.

Soon, the pirates were cursed because they would not return the treasures that belonged to Hernan Cortez. He was also the Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea, having been given a wooden eye that he entrusted to Righetti.

## Trivia

* The favors Barbossa has done for Jack is killing Pig Kelly and saving him from Davy Jones' locker.
* Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush both teased that "Hector" was Barbossa's first name, as his name was not established in the film itself but on DVD commentary of *The Curse of the Black Pearl.* The directors also thought that Barbossa's first name was Fan-made. Since Depp, Rush and the fans called Barbossa this name, Hector was officially made the treacherous captain's name.
	+ It is spoken first in *At World's End* by Jack Sparrow, further confirming Hector is his first name.
* Barbossa naming his monkey, Jack, after his former captain, Sparrow, is similar to Long John Silver from *Treasure Island*naming his parrot, Captain Flint, after her after his former Captain
