## Known family members

"*Here you are just thinking 'Jackie's not good enough to be a pirate, why can't he be more like his cousin Valerie, or Grandmama, proper pirates they be aye matey', and whatnot...*"
—Jack Sparrow to Edward Teague

* **Jack Sparrow** - As a child, he lived on Shipwreck Island but he eventually ran away from home to escape his hectic household and the torturings of his "Grandmama". He spent his teenage years embarking on a series of adventures with a ragtag crew. In his young adult life, he worked for the East India Trading Company until he refused to transport slaves, in which he took a permanent life of a pirate.
* **Edward Teague** - Jack's father, Keeper of the Code and former Pirate Lord of Madagascar. A legendary pirate in his own right, Teague occasionally re-appeared in the life of his son, who followed in his buccaneering footsteps.
* **Jack Sparrow's mother** - Jack's mother and Teague's wife. After she died, Teague kept her head, which was made into a shrunken head. Teague would later give the head to Jack.
* **Grandmama** - Edward Teague's mother and former Pirate Lord of the Atlantic Ocean. A very old pirate with black eyes and a strong, husky voice. She enjoyed inflicting severe pain on Jack throughout his childhood. Apparently, she came close to killing him on three separate occassions. But, according to Teague, that was her way of expressing her love for her grandson. She nearly "died of grief" at eighty-two when Jack ran away from home. She often defended herself from "Quick Draw" McFleming with one of the half-dozen daggers tucked away in her girdle. It is also implied that she and Joshamee Gibbs were good friends, as he was present at her seventy-fourth birthday party. She develops a slight attraction to Hector Barbossa upon being introduced to him by her grandson
* **Bilbo Baggins** Originally a hobbit of the Shire, Bilbo son became the companion of Jack Sparrow and adopted Jacks pirate name, Sparrow.
* **"Ace" Brannigan** - a pirate captain and Jack's uncle. He was frequently ganged up on and beaten by the "kids" of the family.
* **Aunt Hazel** - Jack's aunt. Not much is known about her.
* **"Quick Draw" McFleming** - Jack's second-aunt. She'd frequently assault Jack's "Grandmama" with rum tankards.
* **Valerie**- Jack's pirate cousin. Teague has great respect for her, and he wishes that his son would be more like her.
* **Mabeltrude the Violent Visionary** - A cousin of Grandmama's. When Jack was eight, she predicted that he would nearly burn down Grandmama's ship, consequently causing her and Teague to lock him in the brig where he couldn't do too much damage.
* **Patriarch** - He controlled the family inheritance of plundered treasure. Teague constantly schemed to overthrow this man and secure all the loot for himself.
* **The "Little Cousins"** - "Quick Draw" McFleming's children, whom Jack found to be extremely unpleasant.
