[[caption-width-right:350:''"It's time to hunt a pirate!"'']]

The ghosts of The Silent Mary's crew, trapped within the Devil's Triangle by a curse after their death since a young Jack Sparrow outmaneuvered them. Once Jack Sparrow gets rid of his magical compass, they become free to roam the seas.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:The destruction of the Trident lifts their curse, turning them back to mortal men. They are all overjoyed by this... until they realize that they're at the bottom of the sea which is about to be refilled with water. They then try to reach the anchor of the ''Black Pearl'' in vain, with their captain leaving them to drown (though he isn't able to escape death thanks to Barbossa).]]
* BodyHorror: Every one of them save Salazar were killed in an explosion, resulting in their ghostly forms missing large portions of their bodies. One of them is merely a floating hat and a forearm holding a saber.
* CoolBoat: Before Jack Sparrow led it to its doom, the Silent Mary was ''packed'' with cannons to engage several pirate ships at the same time and obliterate them. Under the undead curse, it looks more like the skeleton of a ship, and can lift its own bow to crash it on the hapless ships of the living.
* CursedWithAwesome: The Devil's Triangle curse has some important shortcomings (they cannot set foot on land and are probably in some kind of unpleasant state), but in turn it also grants them and their ship several awesome powers. If they were powerful pirate hunters back when they were alive, they are now basically unstoppable; the only way to beat them is precisely wiping out their curse.
* CustomUniform: Their black and white navy uniforms are notably different from the dark green ones used by the Spanish Royal Navy in ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides On Stranger Tides]]'', hinting they might be a more specialized or elite branch of their fleet, or that the uniform changed at some point in the intervening decades.
* DarkIsEvil: Even before they died, the most prominent colors of the crew and their ship were black and grey.
* DashingHispanic: Subverted. Although their captain is quite badass and stylish, those Spaniards don't generally share the ''capa y espada'' poise of their countrymen from the previous film. After dying and becoming undead, furthermore, they can only be described as haunting.
* EveryoneHasStandards: A flashback shows some of Salazar's men looking uncomfortable as they are ordered to kill surrendering pirates. The lost this trait with their first death, though.
* FateWorseThanDeath: After dying, they were trapped in a cavern within the Devil's Triangle and forced to remain within, waiting for unfortunate ships to enter their domain. They manage to escape it once Jack Sparrow "betrays" his compass. They escape further when they are free from the curse thanks to the destruction of Poseidon's Trident.
* FloatingLimbs: The explosion of the ship left some of the crew in this state in undeath.
* FlyingDutchman: {{Ghost Pirate}}s[[note]](well, ''pirate hunters'' anyway)[[/note]] who are BarredFromTheAfterlife? Check. Can't set foot on dry land? Check.
* GhostPirate: Subverted in that none of them are pirates, but pirate ''hunters''. Although they do seem to attack other ships than pirates once they are freed from the Devil's Triangle, presumably on the basis that they are Spaniards and therefore English ships are their enemies.
* GratuitousEnglish: They are part of the Spanish Royal Navy, yet their ship has an English name. While ''Silent Mary'' might be an intentional reference to the real life BermudaTriangle GhostShip ''Mary Celeste'', apparently the ship's name was going to be ''La Silenciosa María'' (its proper Spanish translation) early in production.
* JacobMarleyApparel: The ''Silent Mary'''s crew not only still wear the tattered remains of their Spanish uniforms, but the curse preserves their bodies at the exact moment of death. Since the crew was annihilated by a powder explosion, nearly all of them are [[BodyHorror missing body parts]], though this doesn't seem to impair them at all (evidenced by one poor fellow who is little more than a floating hat and arm).
* {{Mooks}}: Only Salazar and to a much lesser extent Lesaro have any characterization. The others are just nameless goons.
* NonHumanUndead: The crew keeps [[ThreateningShark undead sharks]] onboard to unleash them if need be, such as when chasing Jack Sparrow, Henry Turner and Carina Smyth. The ship also has undead seagulls in its wake.
* RevenantZombie: Probably a middle step between that and VengefulGhost (they are physically corporeal and retain the amount of body mass they had while dying, but the rest is supported by ghostly floating, and they are capable to walk weightlessly on the water), but in any case they fit the archetype of a dead who returns with his personality intact out of revenge.
* RogueAgent: Implied. They have ostensibly not renovated their ties to the Spanish Empire after having been technically KIA for many decades, and they don't claim any particular political antagonism towards Great Britain (although they do seem to act on it, unnecesarily butchering entire non-pirate British ships except by single messengers, possibly out of custom or sheer AxCrazy).
* ARottenTimeToRevert: [[spoiler:They probably would've been more thrilled about having their curse broken if it hadn't happened while they're all ''at the bottom of the ocean'', with the waters that were previously parted by the Trident's magic now about to crash down on them.]]
* SealedEvilInACan: Salazar and his ship and crew were sealed inside the Devil's Triangle for several decades, thanks to Jack Sparrow. Should Jack be separated from his compass, his worst fear would be unleashed into the world -- and his worst fear appears to be Salazar and his crew. Sure enough, they are freed from the Devil's Triangle when a drunken Jack uses the compass to pay himself some rum.
* ShadowArchetype: Salazar and his crew have similarities with Barbossa and his crew aboard the ''Black Pearl'' from the first movie. Both groups were cursed into a state of undeadliness [[BlessedWithSuck in which the pros don't exactly outweigh the cons]], and they are [[TheDreaded notorious]] in the world of pirates as merciless pirate hunters and ''especially'' vicious pirates, respectively. Both crews have at least one undead animal onboard their ghostly ship, and their journey to their cursed state was linked to Jack Sparrow and the ''Black Pearl'' (or the former ''Wicked Wench'').[[note]]Jack told Barbossa the location of the Treasure of Cortés and was then overthrown as the captain of the ''Black Pearl''. Salazar in turn was tricked to sail into the Devil's Triangle by Jack who had just assumed the command of the ''Wicked Wench''.[[/note]] The state of Salazar's crew is arguably worse, for unlike Barbossa's cursed crew, they can be destroyed if they touch the land, and they don't know any way to undo their curse. Barbossa's crew composed of homicidal and greedy plunderers, but they weren't genocidal in any way. In a sense, Barbossa is facing the crew of the ''Silent Mary'' as worse versions of himself and his former crew. [[spoiler:Both crews are freed from their curses at an inconvenient time when they'd have otherwise loved it (with Jack having a crucial role in both cases again), leading them to die or getting arrested. In a sense of irony, Barbossa was killed by Jack when his curse was lifted, and he personally sees to the unhexed Salazar's death with a weapon provided by Jack and at the cost of his own life.]]
* VengefulGhost: Technically, being ghostly entities whose leader is fueled by revenge.
* WalkOnWater: All of them can run on water.
* WeaksauceWeakness: None of them are able to step on dry land. If any try, by purpose or accident, they immediately disintegrate.
* WoundThatWillNotHeal: They are basically living simulations of their cause of death. Given that most of them died in an explosion, it means their bodies remain ripped apart and lack entire pieces.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Find Sparrow for me, and relay a message from Capitán Salazar! Tell him... Death will come straight for him!"'']]
[[caption-width-right:300:[[labelnote:Click here to see him before his death]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/livingsalazarpotc.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/JavierBardem [[labelnote:Other Languages]] Creator/FredericVanDenDriessche (European French)[[/labelnote]]
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales Dead Men Tell No Tales]]''

->''"Pirates had infected the seas for generations, so I vowed to eliminate them all!"''

A Spanish captain who once went on a crusade to rid the Caribbean of its pirates with his ship, the ''Silent Mary''. At some point, he chased a young Jack Sparrow up until a place called the Devil's Triangle. Sparrow outmaneuvered the Silent Mary and caused it to crash on reef, leading to its destruction and taking the lives of Salazar and his crew. The place was cursed, it turned Salazar and his crew into ghosts and trapped them there. When Sparrow separated himself from his compass, the ''Silent Mary'''s crew was free to terrorize the seas, seeking to exact revenge on Sparrow and find the Trident of Poseidon to come back among the living.

* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the film, he claims both his father and grandfather were killed by pirates. In the novelization, it's stated that Salazar himself killed his father because he was corrupt and accepted pirate bribes. Those backstories are not entirely incompatible, given that someone as zealous as Salazar might argue [[MetaphoricallyTrue pirates were the cause of his father's death after all]], but is still an oddity. Jerry Bruckheimer has stated that the novelization's explanation is actually the canonical one.
* ArchEnemy: Salazar competes with Cutler Beckett as Jack Sparrow's most important enemy. Jack first initiated his career as the captain of the ''Black Pearl'' (or ''Wicked Wench'' as it was named back then) by killing Salazar who was undefeated until that point. After Jack has become [[JadedWashout a shell of his former glorious self]], he betrays his compass by trading it for rum, releasing from the Devil's Triangle the now ghostly Salazar whose primary goal is to find and kill Jack for his humiliating death. Salazar's desire to kill Jack is so passionate that [[spoiler:after regaining his humanity, the Spaniard abandons his loyal crew to drown at the bottom of the ocean because he doesn't want Jack to escape alive]]. After Jack has confronted Salazar and played a role in the Spaniard's final death, he has regained the command of the ''Black Pearl'' and gotten back on his feet.
* AxCrazy: He was already a nasty KnightTemplar in life, but it's clear from his unhinged, gleefully murderous ways that the curse of the Devil's Triangle hasn't done any wonders for his sanity.
* BadBlackBarf: He spews black gas-like goo when talking sometimes, implied to be a ghostly simulation of old blood.
* BigBad: Of ''Dead Men Tell No Tales''. Some international versions even call it ''[[AntagonistTitle Salazar's]] [[RevengeOfTheSequel Revenge]]''.
* BodyHorror: Whatever it was that brought him and his crew back, it did not see fit to bring them back exactly as they were (or rather brought them back exactly as they were ''while dying''). He looks twisted and almost part of the sea, a la Davy Jones.
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:When the Trident is destroyed, he and his men become alive and mortal again. This also means they can drown or be hurt by normal weapons.]]
* CameBackWrong: To be fair, he wasn't exactly the nicest guy before his death, but his post-resurrection persona is positively demonic compared to his former days as a Spanish fleet captain.
* ColdHam: The sheer intensity of Salazar's lines, particularly when it comes to his hatred of pirates, overcomes Javier Bardem's slight understated performance.
* CompositeCharacter: Incorporates aspects of four past antagonists. Like ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl Curse of the Black Pearl]]'''s Barbossa, he's undead (although in a different way) and has a [[ItsPersonal personal]] enmity with Jack Sparrow. Like Cutler Beckett, he has a genocidal hatred of pirates. Like the Spaniard, he's Spanish and an incredibly powerful player, and has a goal that cannot be entirely considered evil. And like Davy Jones, he possesses supernatural traits. Most notably, a physical aversion to dry land.
* DirtyCoward: [[spoiler:With the sea bearing down on the now normal Salazar and his crew, he attempts to save himself by clinging on to the ''Pearl'''s anchor Jack Sparrow is using to escape, leaving his crew to drown and paying no heed to his loyal lieutenant Lesaro calling after him.]]
* DisproportionateRetribution: His treatment of Barbossa's crew. Yes, they are pirates, and incredibly successful ones, meaning they probably did deserve punishment of a definitively final kind, but Salazar goes out of his way to make it as needlessly horrific as possible, hanging the ones he already didn't kill up and murdering them one by one.
* TheDreaded: By pirates. Given that he's killed thousands of them in his lifetime, it makes sense.
* DualWielding: Limps about with the aid of a pair of swords.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: His father was a Navy official who let pirates do whatever they wanted in exchange for bribes, even though it was pirates that killed Armando's grandfather. This corruption so thoroughly disgusted Armando (whose innocent mother died in prison as a consequence of it) that it prompted him to murder his father as his StartOfDarkness.
* EvilCounterpart:
** To James Norrington. Both are officers in the Royal Navy of their respective countries who disdain pirates and aspire to wipe them out. They both suffer a fall from grace of which they blame Jack Sparrow. However, the more honorable Norrington cares for justice more than revenge, and he doesn't like to ruin lives to advance himself, expressing remorse for losing his crew because he tried to chase Jack Sparrow through a hurricane and coming to regret giving Beckett the heart of Davy Jones. He also adopts a greyer viewpoint in regards to pirates and [[WorthyOpponent a sense of respect]] for Jack Sparrow. The more vindictive and petty Salazar never changes his bigoted opinions about pirates and has less qualms about ending lives in his fanatical crusade, [[spoiler:even abandoning his loyal crew to drown just to get to Jack]].
** As already expressed in the ShadowArchetype section above, Salazar is sort of a dark mirror of Barbossa. Notably, both men were killed by their shared nemesis Jack Sparrow, but unlike Salazar, Barbossa doesn't hold a grudge against Jack for that and becomes more of a FriendlyEnemy with him.
* EvilIsPetty:
** He is seen casually eating an apple before ordering his men to gun down drowning survivors of a pirate ship, and said pirates were waving a WhiteFlag on top of that.
** His implied motivation for his resurrection. He simply ''could not get over'' the fact that, of all things [[note]] Not "men," after all. He doesn't consider pirates worthy of that title. [[/note]], he was killed by a ''pirate.'' He's going through all of this and doing everything because he got bested by ''one guy.''
* EvilPlan: "Eradicate all pirates" doesn't ''sound'' evil until you realize that he's gone KnightTemplar about it. There's also the {{revenge}} angle.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Courtesy of being played by Javier Bardem. His naturally deep voice is deepened even further by the means he's been rendered undead.
* FatalFlaw: His obsession with destroying pirates has led to his death twice. His first death was after being tricked into sailing his ship, the ''Silent Marry'', into the Devil's Triangle, resulting in his first death. [[spoiler:After Salazar attempted to kill his daughter and the others, Barbossa brought about his second death.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's rather polite when he's talking with Henry, particularly when he asks Turner to deliver his message... but in the process, guts the terrified man in the next cell. When he's talking with Barbossa, he instructs his men to kill one of the ''Revenge''[='=]s crew every time he taps his sword... which he is using as a cane. And after they strike a deal, he taps it a few more times just to be petty. He tries to kill Hector at first light rather than after the sun has risen, and Barbossa has to provoke a MotiveRant to buy enough time for them to see the ''Dying Gull''.
* FreudianExcuse: His grandfather was murdered by pirates, who then corrupted his father, which led to Armando's innocent mother being sent to prison (where she died) due to the law stipulating that wives be held accountable for the crimes of their husbands, regardless of whether or not they even had anything to do with them. Armando killed his father in disgust for his corruption, and then swore to eradicate the pirates that had corrupted him, thereby prompting the downfall of the Salazar family.
* GhostPirate: Technically ''not'' a pirate as he made his life's goal to kill them, but fits the trope otherwise.
* HandicappedBadass: He uses two swords as crutches, although he is not always shown actually needing them.
* InsistentTerminology: Salazar does not kill ''men''. He kills ''pirates''.
* ItIsDehumanizing: Played with, in that he doesn't do this directly. However, he refuses to see pirates as human beings.
* KickTheDog: Having a man in a brig gutted for whimpering with understandable terror at seeing a group of undead walk into the room.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: His first on-screen murders include a group of arrogant, classist officers who'd just arrested Henry Turner to trying to warn them about going into the Devil's Triangle, one of whom'd even said he wanted to execute Henry for it. It's hard to feel too sorry for them when he does that (the rest of the crew, sure, but not the captain).
* KnightTemplar: He was ruthless against pirates when he was alive, seeing them as a "disease" and not as humans. He still seems to consider them fair game as an undead:
-->'''Barbossa:''' I have heard stories of the mighty Spanish captain, who's hunted and killed ''thousands'' of men-\\
'''Salazar:''' No, no, no, no, not "men"! ''[[InsistentTerminology Pirates]]!''
* TheManBehindTheMonsters: Due to the curse, the ''Silent Mary'' crewmen look like they looked at the moment they died. Most of them kicked the bucket in an explosion, meaning that their undead bodies are mangled sometimes to the point of being unrecognizable as people (one of them only has left an arm). Salazar, however, is implied to have died by drowning instead when he fell to the sea, so he enjoys a watery but relatively intact body.
* MoralMyopia:
** He was a well-known pirate hunter responsible for the deaths of thousands. He and his crew chased Jack Sparrow, but ended up crashing into a reef and died, but this made him be consumed by a desire of vengeance. While his victims were pirates, him being angry at one of the very people he was hunting down and trying to kill is a clear case of this.
** His FreudianExcuse also brings this up. Salazar hates pirates because a crew of them were responsible for the deaths of his father and grandfather, but his rage-fuelled crusade against them turned him into a mass-murdering maniac, something ''much'' worse than the ones who murdered his family.
** Especially if you take the novelisation, which says Salazar [[{{Patricide}} killed his father himself]], as canon.
* NeckLift: Does this to Captain Toms while answering his WhatTheHellAreYou question with "Death", [[NeckSnap twisting his neck]] immediately afterwards.
* NeverMyFault: Salazar blames Jack and pirates in general for his death and fall from grace, but on examining the sequence of events, the fault in his death lies in Salazar's own [[SevenDeadlySins pride and wrath,]] for chasing Jack into the Devil's Triangle because he was "mocking [his] pride", a decision entirely his own. On his resurrection, this pattern continues; Salazar begins gutting Barbossa's crew for Jack's escape onto land, and later [[spoiler: dies again due to "playing with his food" and swinging Jack around with the Trident before attempting to kill him, giving Carina and Henry time to smash the Trident, thus removing his invulnerability, as well as wasting precious time usable to kill Jack and/or Henry & Carina or escape Poseidon's tomb.]]
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Being a Spanish pirate hunter active in the mid-18th century, with some ugly scars and a family involved in the business, he seems loosely inspired by real life captain UsefulNotes/AntonioBarcelo, only operating in the Atlantic rather than the Mediterranean. Bardem even bears a passing resemblance to him.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: His skin is as livid as you would expect from an undead. He can harm the living, walks on water and seems to be [[IntangibleMan intangible]]. [[spoiler:He can also possess the living as he does to Henry Turner, but it's mentioned as irreversible without the Trident.]]
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Of a sort.
** He so bitterly hates pirates that he views them all as sub-human. See his exchange with Barbossa under KnightTemplar.
** He also has no issue killing British Royal Navy crews, though [[JustifiedTrope that could be from being formerly Spanish Navy and seeing them as enemies of Spain instead of any particular hatred towards them]].
* RedBaron: "El Matador del Mar" (translated officially as "The Butcher of the Sea", but more literally "The Killer of the Sea", if not spelling literally "matador" as in bullfighting jargon).
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Salazar, even when living, wanted to rid the world of pirates. After his death, there is no pirate he wants to destroy more than Jack Sparrow, the young man who outsmarted and killed him.
-->'''Salazar:''' He took everything from me, and filled me with ... ''rage.''
* SayMyName: A creepier, more subdued variant than most - he often gleefully croons out "''Jack Sparrooow~''" [[MadnessMantra constantly]] when he has Jack within his reach, emphasizing just how demented his hunger for revenge is.
* SelfMadeOrphan: In the novelization, his father was a corrupt Admiral that took bribes from pirates until he was arrested by the authorities while Armando's mother was taken and sent to the workhouse where she died. When his father paid his sentence and returned home, Armando greeted him with a knife and killed him. As such, he blames pirates for ruining his family's life rather than his own father's deeds.
* SincerityMode: When he says "Will you say that to him, ''please''?" to Henry after ordering him to deliver his warning to Jack Sparrow.
* SlasherSmile: As he asks Henry to relay his message to Jack Sparrow, he sports one of these.
* SoreLoser: The reason he's after Jack in the first place, he couldn't find peace in death knowing he was outsmarted by a pirate and pretty much came back as a zombie just to even the score with him.
* SpareAMessenger: Standard operating procedure. Salazar spares one man's life while his crew massacre everyone else on a ship. He does so with Henry Turner in order to have a death threat message delivered to Jack Sparrow.
* {{Spexico}}: ''Salazar'' became an eminently Mexican surname after the Conquest of America, and was already very rare to hear in continental Spain by the time the film is set. In spite of that, this character hails from mainland Spain, and his background doesn't mention any possible ascendance from the Indies.
* SwordCane: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] by him using [[DualWielding a pair of swords]] as crutches.
* TitleDrop: When asking Henry to deliver his message.
-->'''Salazar''': "I'd tell him myself, but... dead men tell no tales."
* TorosYFlamenco: He's Spanish and sports a nickname that is a rather farfetched bullfighting metaphor, ''El Matador de Mar'' (''matador'' translates literally as "killer", but it is never used in Spanish language outside of bullfighting lingo, where it is actually just another word for ''torero'' or bullfighter). He also does a little flamenco ''zapateo'' to order his cronies to kill Barbossa's men.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: Salazar's voice as a ghost sounds to be distorted.
* WalkOnWater: He charges on the water with his ghost crew, not bothering to use rowboats to land.
* WasOnceAMan: Salazar and his crew used to be ordinary human pirate hunters -- until a younger Jack Sparrow and his crew sent them and their ship to the depths of the ocean, only to awaken as the undead.
* WeaksauceWeakness: A rather large problem with Salazar's condition is that if he sets foot on land he promptly goes up in a puff of smoke.
* WhiteShirtOfDeath: Before his death, his uniform was predominantly white.
* WildHair: Salazar's hair has been messy and flowing ever since he became a ghost, and he's more of a vindictive vigilante than the naval officer of the King of Spain he was while he was alive, during which time his hair was neat.
* YouKilledMyFather: The reason why he wants to kill all pirates. His father and grandfather were killed by them.

!!!'''Played By:''' Juan Carlos Vellido
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales Dead Men Tell No Tales]]''

Salazar's most loyal officer onboard the ''Silent Mary''. He served Salazar during his crusade against piracy and was onboard when they chased Jack Sparrow to the Devil's Triangle. He distinguishable from the rest of the crew through the eye patch he wears over his left eye before and after becoming a ghost.

* AerithAndBob: "Lesaro" is not a known Spanish surname.
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:The way he's last seen -- calling after his capitán who's leaving Lesaro and the rest of the crew to drown -- reaches out to you.]]
* TheConsigliere: Shows signs of this trope when he advises in clear concern his capitán not to go through with his plan to [[spoiler:possess Henry's body with the risk of remaining trapped there or dying along with Henry on the land]].
* EyePatchOfPower: Wears an eye patch.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Lesaro follows his capitán's orders, but he's not unaware of how deeply revenge is influencing Salazar's judgement. During the flashback scene, Lesaro follows the order to shoot surrendering pirates struggling for their lives in the sea, but he doesn't exactly share Salazar's nonchalantness.
* NumberTwo: Lesaro is Capitán Salazar's second-in-command and most loyal crewmember.

[[header:Other Pirates]]

!Brethren Court

[[folder:General]]
->'''Appears in:''' ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]''

A governing body of pirates that inhabit Shipwreck Cove

* AggressiveNegotiations: The meetings tend to start and end this way. And can sometimes result in a crew member or two's death. Massive brawls are apparently also rather common whenever they meet.
-->'''Elizabeth:''' [''Watching the entire court beating the snot out of each other after just two of them insulted each other''] This is madness!\\
'''Jack:''' [''Matter of factly''] This is politics.
* CosmopolitanCouncil: Its members are from all around the world and you can easily identify where they come from just by looking at their attires.
* MacGuffin: Each of the nine Pirate Lords hold nine "pieces of eight" which were used to bind the sea goddess Calypso. Originally, the first Brethren Court were supposed to use nine silver coins, but since they were broke at the time, they just used whatever trinkets they had in their pockets.
* SecretCircleOfSecrets: An organization of pirates from around the world.
* WretchedHive: What did you expect from a governing body formed by a gang of pirates?

[[folder:Mistress Ching]]
!!Mistress Ching
!!!'''Played By:''' Takayo Fischer

Pirate Lord of the Pacific Ocean, a blind Chinese woman who is one of the most feared and respected pirates in the world.

* CoolOldLady: Getting on in years and blind, but still captain of her feared fleet. Can hold off pirates and sailors alike in swordplay.
* DebtDetester: In the ''Legends of the Brethren Court'' novels, Ching will loyally honor any debt to people who save her life. However, she is openly seething that anyone would ''dare'' to make her incur such a debt in the first place by not letting her win or lose a battle on her own merits.
* TheDreaded: Mistress Ching has earned her reputation as a Pirate Lord for a reason. Owning a huge fleet of junk ships[[note]] "Junk ships" [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant in this case meaning]] the type of East Asian sailing ship commonly called a junk. Junks are quite seaworthy, which is why many still sail the western Pacific even today[[/note]], loyal crews, brothels, gambling houses, and many brutal followers who would execute victims without mercy.
* {{Expy}}: Blatantly inspired by Ching Shih the female Chinese pirate who dominated the South China Sea with her the largest pirate fleet in history during the early 1800s.
* IronLady: Fits the trope to a tee. Tough, stoic, unflappable (most of the time), and has great respect for both the pirate code and from other seafarers.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Ching may be a notorious pirate, but she won't dare bad talk the pirate's code or Captain Teague, as shown when Jack Sparrow rhetorically asks if the Pirate Lords will not keep to the code when he crowns Elizabeth the Pirate King, and they all fall silent.
* MacGuffin: Holds one of the nine pieces of eight required to free Calypso from her bonds, specifically a pair of old spectacles she wore before going blind.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: She may be based on Ching Shih, a Chinese pirate queen who had a short reign but a massive fleet, and only surrendered to the Qing after successfully fending off the East India Company and Portuguese navies.
* OffWithHisHead: How her assassins and men prefer to kill their victims.
* PirateGirl: A pirate in her prime, but still has the largest fleet in the world.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She openly objects to Elizabeth being voted the Pirate King, but accepts it when Teague gives the Pirate Lords a DeathGlare and asks Elizabeth what her plans are to combat Beckett's forces.
* RetiredMonster: Ching is able to retire properly, living in Canton as a wealthy lady.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The lone female Pirate Lord until Elizabeth walts in with Sao Feng's titles.
* ThisMeansWarpaint: Sports white makeup on her face, giving her a frightening look, though it may just be per traditions of her culture.
* WretchedHive: Ran many brothels and gambling houses in her domain.

[[folder:Sri Sumbhajee Angria]]
!!Sri Sumbhajee Angria
!!!'''Played By:''' Marshall Manesh
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]''

Pirate Lord of the Indian Ocean. An elderly, bearded Hindu priest who speaks little, and has a number of followers who speak on his behalf. He is well-off, living in a palace in Bombay.

* AGodAmI: May consider himself a god, since his followers revere him like a religious figure, and he even created his own currency.
* EthnicMagician: Some fear Sri Sumbhajee, believing he may have magical powers.
* HiddenDepths: Remains silent deliberately to conceal his squeaky voice, but speaks up when the Brethren Court decide to go to war, earning a bemused smile from Jack Sparrow.
* MacGuffin: He owns one of the nine pieces of eight required to free Calypso from her bonds. His piece is a snuff box made from a calf's horn.
* MagicalAsian: He is a murderous pirate, but known to be very wise.
* MouthOfSauron: Uses two twin brothers--one as a mouthpiece, and another as a scribe--considering how high-pitched his voice actually is.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: As with the above, Sri Sumbhajee might have been based on the Maratha Navy admiral Kanhoji Angre, who raided English shipping on the Indian coast and was referred to as a pirate in English records.
* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: Sri Sumbhajee is about fifty in the "Legends of the Brethren Court" novel, which mentions that he has several brothers, but all but two of them failed to show him "proper respect" and [[CainAndAbel are now dead.]] One of the survivors is also middle-aged, but the other (a half-brother) is only seven.
* RedBaron: Terror of the Arabian Sea.
* ScrewTheRulesItsTheApocalypse: Objects to needing to follow the code to nominate a Pirate King, and the Brethren Court should just go to war anyway. Teague doesn't take kindly to this and shoots one of his minions dead for even suggesting the code should be ignored.
* SinisterMinister: A Hindu priest who happens to be a pirate.
* ThirdPersonPerson:
** Since his followers speak, sometimes in tones of boredom, on his behalf, it has this effect. When Barbossa calls for a ruling from Captain Teague:
--->'''Barbossa''': As per the code, an act of war--and this be exactly that--can only be declared by the Pirate King.\\
'''Jack''': You made that up!\\
'''Barbossa''': Did I now? I call on Captain Teague, keeper of the Code.\\
'''Sri Sumbhajee's Mouthpiece''': Sri Sumbhajee proclaim this all to be folly! Hang the Code! Who cares if-- [''Captain Teague shoots the minion'']
** Later on, when voting for the Pirate King:

Pirate Lord of the Atlantic Ocean. A former slave who insighted a revolt against his master, whose name he stole, and became the captain of the slaves he freed.

* MadeASlave: Made a slave by an English trader named Gentleman Jocard. He kicked off a SlaveLiberation, later becoming their captain.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Not as clearly as other examples, but he seems to be strongly inspired by Miguel Enríquez, a black Spanish privateer of the early 18th century who also came from a slavery background and eventually became the most powerful man in the Caribbean. Possibly an inside joke too given that Enríquez's flagship was named ''La Perla''.
* OhCrap: Reacts this way when Barbossa and Elizabeth suggest freeing Calypso.
* ScaryBlackMan: While we never see anything frightening onscreen, Jocard's reputation as a former slave-turned-Pirate Lord makes him this. We do know he was very barbaric and cut out his victims' tongues.

[[folder:Sao Feng]]
!!Captain Sao Feng
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/ChowYunFat

->''"There is no honor in remaining with the losing side, leaving it for the winning side... [[BorrowedCatchphrase that's just good business.]]"''

The Pirate Lord of Singapore and one of the nine Lords of the Brethren Court. Elizabeth and Barbossa try to recruit him (and steal his charts) at the beginning of the third movie, and he bounces back and forth between loyalty to them and working for Beckett throughout the movie, finally settling on loyalty after coming to the (incorrect) conclusion that Elizabeth is Calypso. He's killed by the ''Flying Dutchman'', but lives long enough to pass on his captaincy, lordship, and Piece of Eight to Elizabeth.

* AdvertisedExtra: The marketing for ''At World's End'' made him out to be one of the main characters of the movie, on par with Jack, Will, Elizabeth and Barbossa. In reality, he's a secondary character who's unceremoniously killed about half-way through.
* AttemptedRape: He doesn't get further than planting a ForcefulKiss on Elizabeth (whom he mistakenly believes to be Calypso), but his dialogue moments beforehand clearly implies he's going to go farther.
-->'''Sao Feng:''' I would have your gifts, if you choose to give them.\\
'''Elizabeth:''' And if I should choose ''not''?\\
'''Sao Feng:''' Then I will take... ''your fury!''
* BaldOfEvil: He's a pirate, a traitor and an attempted rapist who's bald.
* BatheHerAndBringHerToMe: When he mistakes Elizabeth for Calypso he meets with her in private after giving her new clothes and tries to seduce her.
* BeardOfEvil: He's a pirate with a beard and Fu Manchu mustache.
* BodyguardBabes: He has twin sisters, Lian and Park, working as his personal bodyguards. Unfortunately they're killed relatively quickly in ''At World's End''.
* ChekhovsGunman: His role is to provide Will and Barbossa the charts to the underworld, and to pass his piece of eight (and captaincy) onto Elizabeth after dying. Basically a walking plot device.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Tends to happen a lot among pirates, but Sao Feng betrays Jack and Barbossa to Will, then Will to Beckett, then Beckett to the Brethren Court in short order depending on which of them will get him what he wants.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: As he lays dying, he gives Elizabeth, whom he believes to be Calypso and whom he just assaulted, his Piece of Eight and his captaincy so she can free herself from her bonds. His final words are begging her to forgive him.
* DirtyCoward: What Elizabeth calls him, though he generally seems less cowardly than self-interested.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He randomly dies when ''The Flying Dutchman'' fires a cannonball through his quarters without warning. He lingers just long enough to give Elizabeth his captaincy and his Piece of Eight.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: One of the reasons he's pissed off at Barbossa and Elizabeth when they come to meet him is that he (correctly) believes they sent Will to steal his charts from his revered uncle's temple.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has ominous crisscrossing scars running down the left side of his face, one under his right eye, and more on his lower, right lip.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He's ''not'' happy when Beckett breaks his word at the drop of a hat. He doesn't seem to realise that after betraying Turner and responded to his accusation that they agreed to let him take over the Pearl that you did own the Black Pearl, it would be fitting for Mercer to reply to him the same thing
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: His reason for initially siding with Cutler Beckett over the Brethren Court. He believes Beckett has the best chance of winning the war and he wants to survive. He only defects back to the Court after Barbossa tells him about [[PhysicalGod Calypso]] and how she can help them win.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: He tries to seduce Elizabeth, believing her to be Calypso, then tries to force himself on her when that fails.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He dies after being impaled with a spike of shrapnel from his ship after a canon fired on it.
* MacGuffin: Holds one of the nine pieces of eight needed to free Calypso from her bonds. His is the Jade Captain's Knot, made from a bead of jade and silk from the Silk Road which Marco Polo traveled. He gives it to Elizabeth upon his death.
* MoralMyopia: He's outraged when Beckett betrays him and plans on taking the ''Black Pearl'' for himself, after promising it to him. This, despite the fact that Sao Feng just betrayed Will Turner and took the ''Pearl'' from him after promising it to him.
* NoodleIncident: He has a past history with Jack and claims Jack did him a great insult, to the point where he'd only help bring him back from the dead for a chance to kill Jack himself. What this incident was is never elaborated on.
* PrefersGoingBarefoot: He goes barefoot throughout the whole movie. As he's a wealthy pirate captain who definitely could afford shoes, it's very strongly implied that it's by choice.
* TattooedCrook: He's a pirate with a tattoo on the back of his head.
* TranquilFury: Even when notably enraged, he usually keeps his emotions under control, restraining himself to a withering DeathGlare instead.
* YellowPeril: He's the Pirate Lord of Singapore and there was controversy surrounding his character, with a lot of his scenes cut by Chinese censors over negative stereotypes regarding their culture.

!!!'''Appears In:''' ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]'' | ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides On Stranger Tides]]'' | ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales Dead Men Tell No Tales]]''

-> "The Code is the law."

Former Pirate Lord of Madagascar turned Keeper of the Pirate Codex, which he keeps with him at Shipwreck Cove. Still the most feared pirate in the world and Jack Sparrow's father.

* AllThereInTheManual: The fact that Teague is Jack's father is implied but not addressed in his debut film. It's rectified in ''On Stranger Tides'', with Jack outright calling him, "Dad."
* AlmightyJanitor: Used to be a Pirate Lord, now he spends his days in Shipwreck Cove. The Nine Pirate Lords are the most powerful buccaneers in the world, who rule each of their respective oceans and seas with an iron fist, and even they are terrified of Teague, who does not even need to speak to command their attention.
* BerserkButton: Doles out a summary execution when [[ShootTheMessenger one pirate (on behalf of his lord)]] attempts to suggest ignoring the Pirates' Code.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Much like Jack, he's a very strange fellow with odd behaviors, but quite a wise man.
* TheCameo: A younger Teague appears briefly in the flashback of ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales Dead Men Tell No Tales]]'', where he's shown standing behind Jack as he receives tribute.
* CastingGag: By this point, it was well-known that Johnny Depp had partially based Jack Sparrow on Keith Richards. So who better to play Sparrow's father than Richards himself?
* CoolOldGuy: Keeper of the Code and father of Jack Sparrow and three times as fearsome.
* DeadpanSnarker: "Does this face look like it's been to the Fountain of Youth?"
* DeathGlare: Gives the Court one of these when Jack points out that their protesting of Elizabeth's upset election as Pirate King was ''technically'' advocating for [[BerserkButton dismissing the laws of the Code]]. The assembled pirate lords clam up immediately when they realize their blunder.
* TheDreaded: Even pirate lords are afraid of him, due to his history and inclination towards killing people for violations of the Code. Teague's appearance at the Brethren Court is enough to get everyone in the room to sit down and be quiet (it helps that he just [[KickTheDog shot a man]]), and later forces the Court to accept Elizabeth's election as Pirate King.
* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: He has the authority to execute anyone who even suggests breaking the Code. Either that, or just no-one feels brave enough to stop him.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Based on Edward ''Teach'', aka UsefulNotes/{{Blackbeard}}. Of course, the ''real'' Blackbeard [[ExpyCoexistence later appears in the fourth film]].
* NotoriousParent: He is Jack Sparrow's father and a serial murderer whose record stands out even among the other pirates. Who ''wouldn't'' want him sent to death by the authorities?
* OneSteveLimit: Shares not only his first name but also a similar last name to Edward Teach/Blackbeard.
* PapaWolf: He's always there when his son needs him.
* PetTheDog: Seems to have adopted the jailhouse dog, and is the one person able to get the key out of its mouth. He also offers sound moral guidance to [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Jack]].
* {{Retcon}}: Clearly meant to be this universe's version of Blackbeard in his first appearance, but then the historical Blackbeard shows up in the sequel and Teague is reduced to a guy with a very similar name and appearance instead.
* RetiredBadass: It's heavily implied he used to be a very fearsome pirate before taking up the job of keeper of the code.
* RulesLawyer: The straightest example in the series and for good reason. He's the guy holding the rule book! He's [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduced]] shooting a guy for saying the code doesn't matter, [[ShootTheMessenger and this guy was only acting as his master's mouthpiece.]] "Code is the law."
* SeenItAll: According to his son, anyway, he has "seen it all, done it all" and survived.
* SiblingYinYang: His younger brother [[CoolUncle Jack]] is considerably more easy-going than the very serious Teague.
* StealthHiBye: Manages to disappear while Jack's back is turned in a cramped London pub.
* TheStoic: He doesn't speak much, but when he does, everyone pays attention. Even the slightest tinge of emotion from him -- usually anger -- is treated as [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness a dire warning]] for the people around him to fall silent.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: The advice Teague gives Jack.
-->'''Jack:''' What? You've seen it all, done it all. Survived. That's the trick isn't it? To survive?
-->'''Teague:''' It's not just about living forever, Jackie. It's about living with ''yourself'' forever.

However later when she chooses to stick by his side, they form a bond of mutual respect and he fights for her during the last war of piracy.
* EyeScream: Though both of his eyes are intact, his right eye is gray, and he has a scar across his face, meaning he's possibly been blinded on it.
* FireForgedFriends: With Elizabeth, sort of. He neither trusts nor respects her when they first meet, but after they escape the Dutchman together he acknowledges her as his captain and they seemingly get along well.

* CoolOldLady: Getting on in years and blind, but still captain of her feared fleet. Can hold off pirates and sailors alike in swordplay.
* DebtDetester: In the ''Legends of the Brethren Court'' novels, Ching will loyally honor any debt to people who save her life. However, she is openly seething that anyone would ''dare'' to make her incur such a debt in the first place by not letting her win or lose a battle on her own merits.
* TheDreaded: Mistress Ching has earned her reputation as a Pirate Lord for a reason. Owning a huge fleet of junk ships[[note]] "Junk ships" [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant in this case meaning]] the type of East Asian sailing ship commonly called a junk. Junks are quite seaworthy, which is why many still sail the western Pacific even today[[/note]], loyal crews, brothels, gambling houses, and many brutal followers who would execute victims without mercy.
* {{Expy}}: Blatantly inspired by Ching Shih the female Chinese pirate who dominated the South China Sea with her the largest pirate fleet in history during the early 1800s.
* IronLady: Fits the trope to a tee. Tough, stoic, unflappable (most of the time), and has great respect for both the pirate code and from other seafarers.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Ching may be a notorious pirate, but she won't dare bad talk the pirate's code or Captain Teague, as shown when Jack Sparrow rhetorically asks if the Pirate Lords will not keep to the code when he crowns Elizabeth the Pirate King, and they all fall silent.
* MacGuffin: Holds one of the nine pieces of eight required to free Calypso from her bonds, specifically a pair of old spectacles she wore before going blind.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: She may be based on Ching Shih, a Chinese pirate queen who had a short reign but a massive fleet, and only surrendered to the Qing after successfully fending off the East India Company and Portuguese navies.
* OffWithHisHead: How her assassins and men prefer to kill their victims.
* PirateGirl: A pirate in her prime, but still has the largest fleet in the world.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She openly objects to Elizabeth being voted the Pirate King, but accepts it when Teague gives the Pirate Lords a DeathGlare and asks Elizabeth what her plans are to combat Beckett's forces.
* RetiredMonster: Ching is able to retire properly, living in Canton as a wealthy lady.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: The lone female Pirate Lord until Elizabeth walts in with Sao Feng's titles.

Pirate Lord of the Indian Ocean. An elderly, bearded Hindu priest who speaks little, and has a number of followers who speak on his behalf. He is well-off, living in a palace in Bombay.

* AGodAmI: May consider himself a god, since his followers revere him like a religious figure, and he even created his own currency.
* EthnicMagician: Some fear Sri Sumbhajee, believing he may have magical powers.
* HiddenDepths: Remains silent deliberately to conceal his squeaky voice, but speaks up when the Brethren Court decide to go to war, earning a bemused smile from Jack Sparrow.
* MacGuffin: He owns one of the nine pieces of eight required to free Calypso from her bonds. His piece is a snuff box made from a calf's horn.
* MagicalAsian: He is a murderous pirate, but known to be very wise.
* MouthOfSauron: Uses two twin brothers--one as a mouthpiece, and another as a scribe--considering how high-pitched his voice actually is.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: As with the above, Sri Sumbhajee might have been based on the Maratha Navy admiral Kanhoji Angre, who raided English shipping on the Indian coast and was referred to as a pirate in English records.
* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: Sri Sumbhajee is about fifty in the "Legends of the Brethren Court" novel, which mentions that he has several brothers, but all but two of them failed to show him "proper respect" and [[CainAndAbel are now dead.]] One of the survivors is also middle-aged, but the other (a half-brother) is only seven.
* RedBaron: Terror of the Arabian Sea.

* SinisterMinister: A Hindu priest who happens to be a pirate.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Since his followers speak, sometimes in tones of boredom, on his behalf, it has this effect. When Barbossa calls for a ruling from Captain Teague:
-->'''Barbossa''': As per the code, an act of war-- and this be exactly that-- can only be declared by the Pirate King.
-->'''Jack''': You made that up!

* MacGuffin: Holds one of the nine pieces of eight needed to free Calypso from her bonds. His is a playing card, specifically the Queen of Spades.
* TheRival: To Villanueva.
* UpperClassTwit: Subverted. Dresses like one, but is certainly more intelligent and tactful.

[[folder:Sao Feng]]
!!Captain Sao Feng
!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/ChowYunFat
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]''

->''"There is no honor in remaining with the losing side, leaving it for the winning side... [[BorrowedCatchphrase that's just good business.]]"''

The Pirate Lord of Singapore and one of the nine Lords of the Brethren Court. Elizabeth and Barbossa try to recruit him (and steal his charts) at the beginning of the third movie, and he bounces back and forth between loyalty to them and working for Beckett throughout the movie, finally settling on loyalty after coming to the (incorrect) conclusion that Elizabeth is Calypso. He's killed by the ''Flying Dutchman'', but lives long enough to pass on his captaincy, lordship, and Piece of Eight to Elizabeth.

* AdvertisedExtra: The marketing for ''At World's End'' made him out to be one of the main characters of the movie, on par with Jack, Will, Elizabeth and Barbossa. In reality, he's a secondary character who's unceremoniously killed about half-way through.
* AttemptedRape: He doesn't get further than planting a ForcefulKiss on Elizabeth (whom he mistakenly believes to be Calypso), but his dialogue moments beforehand clearly implies he's going to go farther.
-->'''Sao Feng:''' I would have your gifts, if you choose to give them.\\
'''Elizabeth:''' And if I should choose ''not''?\\
'''Sao Feng:''' Then I will take... ''your fury!''
* BaldOfEvil: He's a pirate, a traitor and an attempted rapist who's bald.
* BatheHerAndBringHerToMe: When he mistakes Elizabeth for Calypso he meets with her in private after giving her new clothes and tries to seduce her.
* BeardOfEvil: He's a pirate with a beard and Fu Manchu mustache.
* BodyguardBabes: He has twin sisters, Lian and Park, working as his personal bodyguards. Unfortunately they're killed relatively quickly in ''At World's End''.
* ChekhovsGunman: His role is to provide Will and Barbossa the charts to the underworld, and to pass his piece of eight (and captaincy) onto Elizabeth after dying. Basically a walking plot device.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Tends to happen a lot among pirates, but Sao Feng betrays Jack and Barbossa to Will, then Will to Beckett, then Beckett to the Brethren Court in short order depending on which of them will get him what he wants.
* DeathEqualsRedemption: As he lays dying, he gives Elizabeth, whom he believes to be Calypso and whom he just assaulted, his Piece of Eight and his captaincy so she can free herself from her bonds. His final words are begging her to forgive him.
* DirtyCoward: What Elizabeth calls him, though he generally seems less cowardly than self-interested.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He randomly dies when ''The Flying Dutchman'' fires a cannonball through his quarters without warning. He lingers just long enough to give Elizabeth his captaincy and his Piece of Eight.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: One of the reasons he's pissed off at Barbossa and Elizabeth when they come to meet him is that he (correctly) believes they sent Will to steal his charts from his revered uncle's temple.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: He has ominous crisscrossing scars running down the left side of his face, one under his right eye, and more on his lower, right lip.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He's ''not'' happy when Beckett breaks his word at the drop of a hat. He doesn't seem to realise that after betraying Turner and responded to his accusation that they agreed to let him take over the Pearl that you did own the Black Pearl, it would be fitting for Mercer to reply to him the same thing
* IFightForTheStrongestSide: His reason for initially siding with Cutler Beckett over the Brethren Court. He believes Beckett has the best chance of winning the war and he wants to survive. He only defects back to the Court after Barbossa tells him about [[PhysicalGod Calypso]] and how she can help them win.
* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: He tries to seduce Elizabeth, believing her to be Calypso, then tries to force himself on her when that fails.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He dies after being impaled with a spike of shrapnel from his ship after a canon fired on it.
* MacGuffin: Holds one of the nine pieces of eight needed to free Calypso from her bonds. His is the Jade Captain's Knot, made from a bead of jade and silk from the Silk Road which Marco Polo traveled. He gives it to Elizabeth upon his death.
* MoralMyopia: He's outraged when Beckett betrays him and plans on taking the ''Black Pearl'' for himself, after promising it to him. This, despite the fact that Sao Feng just betrayed Will Turner and took the ''Pearl'' from him after promising it to him.
* NoodleIncident: He has a past history with Jack and claims Jack did him a great insult, to the point where he'd only help bring him back from the dead for a chance to kill Jack himself. What this incident was is never elaborated on.
* PrefersGoingBarefoot: He goes barefoot throughout the whole movie. As he's a wealthy pirate captain who definitely could afford shoes, it's very strongly implied that it's by choice.
* TattooedCrook: He's a pirate with a tattoo on the back of his head.
* TranquilFury: Even when notably enraged, he usually keeps his emotions under control, restraining himself to a withering DeathGlare instead.
* YellowPeril: He's the Pirate Lord of Singapore and there was controversy surrounding his character, with a lot of his scenes cut by Chinese censors over negative stereotypes regarding their culture.

[[folder:Teague, Keeper of the Code]]
!!Capt. Edward Teague
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1dabf8dc993311e090be12313b10052d_small_1160.jpg]]

!!!'''Appears In:''' ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]'' | ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanOnStrangerTides On Stranger Tides]]'' | ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales Dead Men Tell No Tales]]''

-> "The Code is the law."

Former Pirate Lord of Madagascar turned Keeper of the Pirate Codex, which he keeps with him at Shipwreck Cove. Still the most feared pirate in the world and Jack Sparrow's father.

* AllThereInTheManual: The fact that Teague is Jack's father is implied but not addressed in his debut film. It's rectified in ''On Stranger Tides'', with Jack outright calling him, "Dad."
* AlmightyJanitor: Used to be a Pirate Lord, now he spends his days in Shipwreck Cove. The Nine Pirate Lords are the most powerful buccaneers in the world, who rule each of their respective oceans and seas with an iron fist, and even they are terrified of Teague, who does not even need to speak to command their attention.
* BerserkButton: Doles out a summary execution when [[ShootTheMessenger one pirate (on behalf of his lord)]] attempts to suggest ignoring the Pirates' Code.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Much like Jack, he's a very strange fellow with odd behaviors, but quite a wise man.
* TheCameo: A younger Teague appears briefly in the flashback of ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanDeadMenTellNoTales Dead Men Tell No Tales]]'', where he's shown standing behind Jack as he receives tribute.
* CastingGag: By this point, it was well-known that Johnny Depp had partially based Jack Sparrow on Keith Richards. So who better to play Sparrow's father than Richards himself?
* CoolOldGuy: Keeper of the Code and father of Jack Sparrow and three times as fearsome.
* DeadpanSnarker: "Does this face look like it's been to the Fountain of Youth?"
* DeathGlare: Gives the Court one of these when Jack points out that their protesting of Elizabeth's upset election as Pirate King was ''technically'' advocating for [[BerserkButton dismissing the laws of the Code]]. The assembled pirate lords clam up immediately when they realize their blunder.
* TheDreaded: Even pirate lords are afraid of him, due to his history and inclination towards killing people for violations of the Code. Teague's appearance at the Brethren Court is enough to get everyone in the room to sit down and be quiet (it helps that he just [[KickTheDog shot a man]]), and later forces the Court to accept Elizabeth's election as Pirate King.
* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: He has the authority to execute anyone who even suggests breaking the Code. Either that, or just no-one feels brave enough to stop him.
* NoHistoricalFiguresWereHarmed: Based on Edward ''Teach'', aka UsefulNotes/{{Blackbeard}}. Of course, the ''real'' Blackbeard [[ExpyCoexistence later appears in the fourth film]].
* NotoriousParent: He is Jack Sparrow's father and a serial murderer whose record stands out even among the other pirates. Who ''wouldn't'' want him sent to death by the authorities?
* OneSteveLimit: Shares not only his first name but also a similar last name to Edward Teach/Blackbeard.
* PapaWolf: He's always there when his son needs him.
* PetTheDog: Seems to have adopted the jailhouse dog, and is the one person able to get the key out of its mouth. He also offers sound moral guidance to [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Jack]].
* {{Retcon}}: Clearly meant to be this universe's version of Blackbeard in his first appearance, but then the historical Blackbeard shows up in the sequel and Teague is reduced to a guy with a very similar name and appearance instead.
* RetiredBadass: It's heavily implied he used to be a very fearsome pirate before taking up the job of keeper of the code.
* RulesLawyer: The straightest example in the series and for good reason. He's the guy holding the rule book! He's [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduced]] shooting a guy for saying the code doesn't matter, [[ShootTheMessenger and this guy was only acting as his master's mouthpiece.]] "Code is the law."
* SeenItAll: According to his son, anyway, he has "seen it all, done it all" and survived.
* SiblingYinYang: His younger brother [[CoolUncle Jack]] is considerably more easy-going than the very serious Teague.
* StealthHiBye: Manages to disappear while Jack's back is turned in a cramped London pub.
* TheStoic: He doesn't speak much, but when he does, everyone pays attention. Even the slightest tinge of emotion from him -- usually anger -- is treated as [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness a dire warning]] for the people around him to fall silent.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: The advice Teague gives Jack.
-->'''Jack:''' What? You've seen it all, done it all. Survived. That's the trick isn't it? To survive?
-->'''Teague:''' It's not just about living forever, Jackie. It's about living with ''yourself'' forever.

!!!'''Played By:''' Creator/ZoeSaldana
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanTheCurseOfTheBlackPearl The Curse Of The Black Pearl]]''

A female pirate whom Jack ran afoul of in ''Curse Of The Black Pearl''. She also helps in the attempt to rescue Elizabeth from Barbossa in the same film.

* ActionGirl: The only fighting woman in Jack's crew.
* AllThereInTheManual: The creators confirm that the boat Jack stole from Anamaria, thereby earning her ire, is the one he sank during his arrival in Port Royal.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: As revealed by the short lived comic book series, she is the youngest of five sisters.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She is completely absent from the sequels.
* PirateGirl: Was born into a family of smugglers, and later becomes an official pirate to join Jack.
* RedHerring: In a meta-sense. Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and the rest of the cast were told that at the end of ''Dead Man's Chest'', it would be Anamaria who greeted them. The shocked looks on their faces when it was Geoffrey Rush were ''genuine''.
* OnlySaneWoman: Anamaria openly believes she is this in Jack's ragtag crew.
* SamusIsAGirl: Briefly disguises herself as a man so Gibbs would hire her. Jack recognized her anyway.
%%* SassyBlackWoman
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After receiving the ''Interceptor'' in exchange for her cooperation, she allows Jack to captain the ''Black Pearl''. She hasn't appeared in any of the sequels, and her fate is unknown

[[folder:Tai Huang]]
!!Tai Huang
!!!'''Played By:''' Reggie Lee
!!!'''Appears In:''' ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]''

The captain of Sao Feng's guards, stationed in Singapore at the time of the rescue attempt for Jack Sparrow.

* DirtyCoward: When Elizabeth tell him Sao Feng made her captain he refuses to aknowledge her, but as soon as Davy Jones threatens him, he sells her out as captain. However later when she chooses to stick by his side, they form a bond of mutual respect and he fights for her during the last war of piracy.
* EyeScream: Though both of his eyes are intact, his right eye is gray, and he has a scar across his face, meaning he's possibly been blinded on it.
* FireForgedFriends: With Elizabeth, sort of. He neither trusts nor respects her when they first meet, but after they escape the Dutchman together he acknowledges her as his captain and they seemingly get along well.
* MauveShirt: Doesn't get many lines, but he's somewhere in the background for the vast majority of the movie, leading Sao Feng's detachment of soldiers on the mission to Davy Jones' Locker, outliving his master, and later escaping from the ''Dutchman'' with Elizabeth.
* MookLieutenant: For Sao Feng's pirates.
* NumberTwo: Also to Sao Feng (who he outlives).
* OddFriendship: His relationship with Elizabeth, he went from threatening to either kill or rape her to risking his life fighting in the war against piracy under her command.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Sao Feng, whose death clearly shocks him, and later to Elizabeth when Feng [[YouAreInCommandNow appoints her]] as his successor.

[[folder:Bartholomew]]
A former Pirate Lord, and co-author of ''The Pirate Codex'', the other being Henry Morgan.

* WomenAreWiser: Anamaria openly believes she is the OnlySaneMan of Jack's ragtag crew, and it's true on occasion.

* BarbarousBarbaryCorsair: The Brethren Court’s representative of this pirate archetype, he comes from North Africa, uses a scimitar, and is a Muslim battling the French and Spanish in the Mediterranean.

Pirate Lord of the Black Sea. A pirate who leads the Barbary Corsair against Christian "infidels" and Captain Villanueva's own forces.
