### Appearance

#### Normal

Jack Sparrow is a tan, mustachioed man who wears his dark brown hair in dreadlocks decorated with numerous beads. His beard is similarly styled into two smaller dreads, each with two very small beads near the tips. Jack wears a complete captain outfit, which includes his grey captain's jacket and tricorn hat on top of a faded red bandana on his head, on which is another small beaded ornament ending in a silver coin.

He wears brown boots and has brown eyes covered in kohl, and carries a scabbard off his cutlass on his left hip, kept in place by a black baldric that goes over his right shoulder.

He wears another, tan belt around his waist, overtop a tattered, white and red piece of cloth tied around his waist. Jack's compass hangs from this second belt, tied on by a piece of twine, and his pistol is tucked into the cloth. He wears a faded, loose white shirt underneath a faded blue waistcoat that exposes his chest, both tucked beneath the cloth and belt. The legs of his grey breeches are tucked into his boots. Finally, Jack sports a fingerless glove on his right hand.

##### Curse

Under the effects of the curse, when under moonlight, Jack's body becomes that of a rotted skeleton. Though more or less the same, Jack's clothes become far more tattered, to the point that he altogether loses most of the legs of his pants. His skin becomes grey and rotten, and the decay of his lips exposes three gold teeth in the front of his mouth.

## Personality

Jack's trademark physical characteristic is a slightly drunken swagger, accompanied by slurred speech and awkwardly flailing hand gestures that make him appear unfocused. A common theme with Jack is he will tell the truth, only to be met with disbelief; he also tends to word things in such a convoluted manner, that it seems like he's talking gibberish. But he's actually a decent, if self-serving, man who adheres to the "Pirata Codex".

He believes pirates can still be "good men", seeing the Heartless and Organization XIII causing trouble give real pirates a bad name. Though both deny it, Jack and Sora have similar personalities; Jack agrees with Sora's policy to never trust pirates, but both are loyal to their friends. His drunkard-like persona doesn't mean anything when the fight comes.

He also prefers to be called "Captain Jack Sparrow" or "Captain Sparrow". Differently than every other pirate, Jack is a good man and does actually care for his friends, even sacrificing his dream of being immortal to save Will. He also appears to show a little bit of care towards Sora, from a coach's perspective, as he has shown coaching Sora at becoming a pirate.

While he may not admit it, he does consider Will and Elizabeth friends; he even says they are made of strong stuff, knowing they can endure the ten year separation. The only other people Jack shows respect for, and even trusts to a certain extent, is his loyal first mate Joshamee Gibbs, and Sora. He is one of the few in other worlds who is aware that Sora is not from his world, as made evident when he overhears their conversation about being from another world, and keeps it to himself while still aiding them.

### Equipment

#### Compass

**Jack Sparrow's compass** is an unusual navigational instrument most notably use by Captain Jack Sparrow, which he bartered from the voodoo mystic Tia Dalma. Unlike an ordinary compass, Jack's compass proves most valuable, as it pointed to what the owner wanted most, rather than mere magnetic north.

Although it appears to be useless, as the needle never pointed north, Jack's compass had supernatural qualities, giving him a special edge. The compass couldn't be used to navigate in a conventional sense, but it did direct the owner to whatever he or she wanted most at the moment. As the most special of all his possessions, this compass would be used in many of Jack Sparrow's adventures, including the search for the Treasure of Cortés, the Dead Man's Chest, the Fountain of Youth and the Poseidon's Trident and probably will used in the battle against the revengeful and resurrected Davy Jones.

## History

### Past

#### Early life

"*Teague, this boy, he is sharp one, he is. Won't be long before he will be Pirate Lord himself, da?*"

—Boris Palachnik to Edward Teague, regarding young Jack Sparrow.
Jack Sparrow was born to Edward Teague and an unknown woman on a pirate ship caught in the middle of a typhoon. He was named Jack after his uncle and Teague's brother, Jack. Jack grew up in a tumultuous household full of outlaws at Shipwreck Cove. He had spent most of his youth unsure whether Edward Teague was really his parent, frequently referring to him as "The-Man-Who-Might-Be-Father". Despite Jack's resentment of him, he respected the fact that Teague was always there for him when he needed him most, such as when he nearly got his hand cut off by the pirate Rusty Knickers or when Jack was almost sold into slavery by Captain Lucille Graven.

Jack was determined to follow in his father's footsteps and become a captain of a ship, rather than just some ordinary pirate like the majority of his relatives (explaining his insistence on being referred to as "Captain" well into adulthood). At some point during his childhood, Jack met a boy named Benny and taught him "that trick with the kite and the key".

As a teenager, Jack served as a cabin boy on several pirate ships, including the *Troubadour* of Captain Teague and the *Koldunya* of Borya Palachnik. As a member of Teague's crew, he visited many countries and ports, including Singapore. However, he became fed up with his hectic life in a pirate family and the torture he suffered at the hands of his Grandmama. One night, he snuck by candlelight into the study to consult the *Pirata Codex*, and, coming upon a section on freedom and the need for pirates to make their own decisions, decided he was completely justified in running away. After escaping out the window, Jack stowed away aboard a merchant ship to reach Tortuga.

#### The Sword of Cortés

"*Look, I'm not a crook. This crummy sack here―and what's in it―is all I have. I would have brought more, but storage space for stowaways is very limited.*"

—Jack Sparrow to Arabella Smith.
Jack had few worldly possessions, and even these were stolen on the island. In an attempt to reclaim his property, Jack accidentally stole a sack containing the Scabbard of the Sword of Cortés from Captain Torrents, a vicious pirate captain with the ability to control storms. Learning of its magical nature from a barmaid named Arabella Smith, Jack set off to track down the Sword of Cortés itself.

After Arabella led Jack to an abandoned ship, the *Barnacle*, he was given command, and, following a sword fight that Jack lost, found his second crew member in a man named Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III. Having braved a storm conjured by Torrents, Jack, Arabella and Fitzwilliam soon encountered two more sailors, Tumen and Jean Magliore—the latter providing one further crew member in the form of his cat, Constance Magliore, who was once Jean's sister before being transformed by Tia Dalma.

With a ship and a crew, not to mention part of the treasure of Stone-Eyed Sam, a now-dead former king of the pirates with a fabled stone eye who was said to be holding the Sword, Captain Jack Sparrow set off to find the elusive Sword of Cortés. The crew was confronted by Captain Torrents, though Jack was able to counter his control of lightning by splashing him with rainwater collected in his appropriated hat. He claimed that he had taught a young Benjamin Franklin this trick, and hoped "Benny" would remember it.

##### Fight for freedom

"*So, mate, I suspect you've materialized here, from wherever it is you dead people go, in order to get the Sword back?*"
"*The Sword is now yours. You read the incantation. You invoked its power.*"

—Jack Sparrow and Hernán Cortés.

##### The Sun-and-Stars Medallion

"*Proceed carefully, Jack Sparrow. You've already drunk a sip of what the sea has in store for you.*"

—Tia Dalma.

##### The Dance of the Hours

"*Dangers of Isla Esquelética are as follows. Stone-Eyed Sam: check. His booby-trapped temple: check. Jungles, heat, vicious insects and animals: check.*"

—Jack Sparrow.

##### Sins of the Father

"*Do you want to come back?*"
"*No.*"
"*Very well, then. We can leave you at our next port—Tortuga.*"

—Edward Teague and Jack Sparrow.

##### Poseidon's Peak

"*Jack Sparrow...*"
"*Yes. Yes. You know my name. What do you want, a blue ribbon?*"

—Bill Turner and Jack Sparrow.

##### Bold New Horizons

"*As you were. Carry on with your little back-and-forth.*"

—Jack Sparrow to Torrents and Laura Smith.

#### Young Pirate

##### Jack the Sparrow

"*Hey! Hold on, Capitaine! It's a lovely day for a sail. The way I see it, there's just the two of us left. You surrender to me now and I'll let you live. Simple. Right then. You surrender to me now and I'll let you live. I shall let you live.*"

—Jack Sparrow to Armando Salazar.

##### Return to Shipwreck Cove

"*Mistress Ching, I see we have another gentleman and a young lady present. May I prevail upon you to provide an introduction?*"
"*Don Rafael, Doña Esmeralda, allow me to present to you, Jack Sparrow, Captain Teague's...protégé.*"

—Jack Sparrow and Mistress Ching.

##### Breaking the Code

"*Captain. I believe I've found the vessel that sank* Cobra*. I'd like you to come with me and see if you can identify her.*"

—Jack Sparrow to Hector Barbossa.

##### Escape from the rogues

"*If we had left you behind, you would have been the one that Captain Teague hanged at dawn.*"
"*And I saved yours. I figure we’re square, mate."
"That is better, mon ami! There is no sense in old friends quarreling over trifles, is there?*"

—Christophe-Julien de Rapièr and Jack Sparrow.
