17
18	A notorious English pirate who operated in the West Indies throughout the 18th century. The blackest soul and the darkest heart of any pirate who ever lived, striking fear into the bravest of sailors, Blackbeard was a name uttered in terror by all who sail the sea, or any unfortunate enough to encounter him on dry land.
19	----
20	* AbusiveParents: While he treats his daughter kindly at first, [[spoiler:at one point he forces Jack to obey him by threatening to shoot her in a game of RussianRoulette. Even Jack is surprised to find out he wasn't lying. Later on, Blackbeard tries to convince Angelica to sacrifice her own life in exchange for his own.]]
21	* AdaptationalBadass:
22	** The real Blackbeard was rumored to have dabbled in voodoo, though this may have simply been Teach playing up his reputation. This Blackbeard really does practice black magic.
23	** This version of Blackbeard survived his fateful battle in Ocracoke Inlet and lived until 1750.
24	* AdaptationalWimp:
25	** Ian [=McShane=] is nearly a foot shorter than the real Blackbeard, who was a very tall man by even today's standards.
26	** This version of Blackbeard only carries a single pistol on his person, rather than the six that the real Teach was infamous for.
27	** In real life, Blackbeard's death was drawn out simply by how tough he was -- by all accounts, he was shot ''five'' times and slashed another ''twenty,'' and kept fighting until he finally passed out from blood loss and was subsequently decapitated. Here, [[spoiler: it takes one sword stab to the gut to mortally wound him, though it is justified by his age and said sword being coated with a neurotoxin]].
28	* BadBoss: He pressgangs pirates into serving on his crew, sends the most expendable ones out to serve as bait for mermaids then shoots the ones who try to escape to the shore, and burns his cook alive for taking place in the attempted mutiny. [[spoiler:He's also not above killing his First Mate, who just so happens to also be his daughter, should it serve his own purposes.]]
29	-->'''Blackbeard:''' If I don't kill a man every now and then, they forget who I am.
30	* BaitTheDog: His PapaWolf feelings for his daughter. He later [[spoiler:asks his daughter to sacrifice her life for his. He also deliberately makes the RussianRoulette so that he wouldn't know which of the two guns contained the bullet when threatening Jack Sparrow with the death of his daughter]].
31	* {{BFS}}: The Sword of Triton is ''huge'', at least compared to everyone else's cutlasses.
32	* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Edward "Blackbeard" Teach was a voodoo sorcerer with a crew of zombies in search of the Fountain of Youth.
33	* BeyondRedemption: Philip, a GoodShepherd who believes that everyone has some good in them and can be saved by God's grace, attempts to reach out to Blackbeard, acknowledging that saving his soul was "a bit of a long shot." However, by the end of the film, Blackbeard soon convinces Philip that he himself is beyond saving.
34	* BigBad: In the fourth film, the main threat to Barbossa and Jack.
35	* BigBadEnsemble: With Barbossa and the Spaniard for the fourth film.
36	* TheCaptain: Feared captain of the Queen Anne's Revenge.
37	%%* CaptainColorbeard: The TropeCodifier himself.
38	* CardCarryingVillain: He's well-aware of the kind of person he is, but doesn't care; in fact, he embraces it.
39	-->'''Blackbeard''': I'm a bad man.
40	* ColdHam: He manages to be over the top while still being cool and collected.
41	* TheCollector: Of ships from defeated crews, which he magically shrinks down and puts in bottles. Or it's implied considering he [[spoiler:has the Black Pearl among his collections.]]
42	* CompositeCharacter: In the novel that inspired the film, Blackbeard and [[spoiler:the man who plans to sacrifice his daughter, the protagonist's love interest, to gain the benefit of the Fountain of Youth]] are two separate villains.
43	* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Sure, Blackbeard knows a few secrets in the art of black magic, but even with these tricks, he is the BadassNormal among a roster of villains who have the "benefit" of curses that keep them from dying and give them supernatural abilities. While antagonists like Barbossa and Salazar seek to undo the immortality brought on by their curses, unending life is Blackbeard's endgame.
44	* CoolSword: The Sword of Triton, which gives him some level of MindOverMatter control over ships, allowing him to control them at will. It's implied that the sword is also the root of his other supernatural powers. [[spoiler:Taken from him by Barbossa at the end of the movie, along with his ship and crew.]]
45	* DisappearedDad: To his long-lost daughter, Angelica, who's devoted to him because she always wanted to know her father.
46	* DoNotGoGentle: During the climax, he [[spoiler: finds himself facing Barbossa, the one-legged man prophesied to kill him. While he realizes his fate is approaching, Blackbeard is determined not to go down without a fight]].
47	-->'''Blackbeard''': Aye. That be the cold breath of fate I feel down my nape. But, I'll have one last fight, by God.
48	* TheDreaded: "''The Pirate All Pirates Fear''".
49	* EvenEvilCanBeLoved: [[spoiler:Despite forcing his daughter into a situation where she has to sacrifice her own life to save his, she willingly does so because she loves him. She's even angry when she finds out Jack tricked them both and manipulated Blackbeard into drinking from the chalice that would kill him but save her.]]
50	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[AllThereInTheManual According to the Disney Second Screen app]], Blackbeard genuinely loved Angelica and her mother and was distraught when her mother died. Blackbeard left Angelica at a nunnery to protect her from a life of piracy, including himself, and sent money to her throughout her life. Blackbeard even said that Angelica was the only good mark he has made on the world during a private conversation with Jack Sparrow. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, his greed and selfishness got the better of him and he repeatedly put his daughter through multiple deadly situations before ultimately trying to sacrifice her life to save his own without a second's hesitation]].
51	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's visibly shocked when the Spaniard kills Groves [[KilledMidSentence mid-sentence]] while the officer is claiming the Fountain for Great Britain.
52	* EvilOldFolks: If the real-life timeline of Blackbeard holds true in the ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' verse, he'd be about 70. He's at least old enough to have an adult daughter, and he's a self-professed "bad man."
53	* EvilSorcerer: See HollywoodVoodoo. Can resurrect the dead, make Voodoo dolls, and control his ship via a magic sword.
54	* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:His flesh and blood can be seen messily being stripped away by the waters of the Fountain of Youth during his death scene.]]
55	* FatalFlaw: At his core, Blackbeard is absolutely terrified of death and will do anything he can to avoid it. He ends up earning Barbossa's wrath when he tries to stop the prophecy of being killed by him, [[spoiler: and Jack is able to trick him into giving his last chance of life to his daughter because he knows for a fact that Blackbeard will jump at the chance of safety without thinking]].
56	* FauxAffablyEvil: Particularly when around Philip, he'll talk in a very half-amused, friendly tone while committing atrocities.
57	* ForTheEvulz: He has little motive beyond causing pain and suffering, and even admits as such:
58	-->'''Blackbeard''': You know when I feel closest to our Maker? When I see suffering, pain, and anguish. That's when the true design of this world is revealed.
59	* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: The fact that none of the deckhands in the Queen's Revenge have actually seen him in person convinces Jack that they have all been fooled and they were not on Blackbeard's ship. He's wrong. Ironically, he ends up exposing himself when a mutiny is instigated by Jack Sparrow in order to lure him out.
60	* HistoricalDomainSuperperson: Here, he's portrayed as a master of HollywoodVoodoo and wields a magic cutlass that he can use to control his ship.
61	* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Even if the real Blackbeard was as violent and scary as he was reputed to be, he ''wasn't'' a HollywoodVoodoo practitioner with a crew of literal zombies.
62	* HollywoodVoodoo: A master practitioner of it and uses it to coerce Jack with a typical doll.
63	* ImmortalityImmorality: The Fountain of Youth doesn't really grant eternal life, it just lengthens it by draining another's life. Blackbeard's okay with making this sacrifice [[spoiler:even if the sacrifice is his daughter.]]
64	* KickTheMoralityPet: [[spoiler:Tries to sacrifice his seemingly beloved daughter to save his own life.]]
65	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Between poison and the fountain of youth he is definitely, permanently, dead.]]
66	* LackOfEmpathy: Blackbeard doesn't care about anyone but himself and his daughter, [[spoiler:and it turns out he's even willing to sacrifice her to save his own life, or to prove a point.]]
67	* LargeHam: He has a very intense gravitas to himself.
68	-->'''Blackbeard''': Mutineers...'''HAAAAAAAAAAAANG'''!
69	* LogicalWeakness: His sword has the power to let him magically control ships, but that power is useless when Blackbeard is on dry land with no ships around to control. Hence why Barbossa feels comfortable enough to challenge Blackbeard at the Fountain.
70	* MagicKnight: Wields a blade and employs magic.
71	* MakeAnExampleOfThem: After Jack's failed mutiny, Angelica convinces Blackbeard that they need Jack alive to find the Fountain of Youth for him, so Blackbeard decides to kill the cook who took part in the mutiny instead.
72	* NoOneSeesTheBoss: The fact that no member of the crew has ever actually seen Blackbeard in the flesh makes Jack think the infamous pirate isn't actually onboard at all and that the crew has all been conned. It's only after they mutiny that Blackbeard reveals himself.
73	* OhCrap: The look on Jack's and the mutinous crew face when he finally reveals himself is ''priceless''.
74	* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:At one point he threatens to shoot Angelica just to force Jack to obey him, then later on he takes away her one chance at survival from the Fountain of Youth in order to save his own life.]]
75	* PapaWolf: When Jack badmouths Angelica and tells Blackbeard she's only pretending to be his daughter, Blackbeard calls her the "only good thing" he's ever done in his life and starts torturing Jack with a voodoo doll. [[spoiler:Unfortunately Blackbeard really does only view her as a "thing" that belongs to him, and is willing to kill her to prove a point, or save his own life.]]
76	* RememberTheNewGuy: He shows up in the fourth film as a "legendary pirate" with no explanation about where he was in the previous entries, when the Pirate Lords convened and fought to save piracy.
77	* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: While he doesn't outright say it, the spirit of it is there on his first conversation with Jack about his historical execution.
78	* {{Sadist}}: As he admits, he just likes hurting people.
79	* ScrewDestiny: According to a prophesy, he is destined to die at the hands of the "One Legged Man". He is searching for the Fountain Of Youth to escape this fate.
80	* SelfFulfillingProphecy: [[spoiler:The Quartermaster predicted his death at the hands of the "One Legged Man". Putting aside that he earned the enmity of this man by attacking him in the first place, he opened himself to attack by searching for the Fountain of Youth to avert his fate. Furthermore, by recruiting Jack Sparrow to help find it, he brought along possibly the one man on Earth clever enough to screw him at the critical moment.]]
81	* ShownTheirWork: ''On Stranger Tides'' is set in 1750, when the real Blackbeard would have been roughly 70 years old had he lived that long. Ian [=McShane=] was in his late 60's when he played the role.
82	* ShroudedInMyth: How he escaped death? How he became a sorcerer? Why does he keep ships as trophies? Myths to the persona of Blackbeard.
83	* TheSociopath: He commits cruel actions while maintaining a charming facade, he's incapable of empathy and ultimately proves [[spoiler:he only views his daughter as an object to be sacrificed rather than someone he's genuinely capable of loving.]]
84	* StrippedToTheBone: [[spoiler:The waters of the Fountain of Youth whirl around him, gorily ripping away his blood and flesh as it takes his life, ultimately reducing him to a skeleton that crumples in on itself.]]
85	* YouCantFightFate: This is his motivation for seeking the Fountain - you can't beat Fate in a straight duel, so you're better off cheating her. [[spoiler:In the end, he is mortally wounded by the "One Legged Man", who, in a roundabout way, is still responsible for his death, even if Jack did the actual deed. In addition, he actually sealed his own fate by taking the Black Pearl, since the "One Legged Man" was a former member of the Black Pearl's crew, meaning he created the very thing that would do him in (though it's never made clear just when he got this prophecy, making it likely this prediction came as a result of that attack).]]

98
99	A beautiful but dangerous female pirate. Being a master of disguises, Angelica learned the art of the con from the best, Captain Jack Sparrow. A woman who tells lies that are truths and truths that are lies, Angelica was the daughter of the infamous pirate Blackbeard.
100	----
101	* AffablyEvil: Despite being a scary female pirate, she's pretty friendly towards Jack whenever they're not betraying and trying to kill each other. Then again, [[NewOldFlame "friendly" is not exactly the right way to describe their relationship]].
102	* AmbiguouslyChristian: Though, considering her nationality, presumably Catholic. Despite her inability to become a nun (thanks to Jack) and her current... less-than-reputable occupation, Angelica remained a devout believer in God, and spends most of the film trying to impart this belief onto her father (to no avail, which was obvious to everyone ''except'' her). It's also why she stopped Blackbeard from killing Philip, a man of God himself.
103	* AntiVillain: She's just trying to help her father, the only family she has left.
104	* ButNotTooForeign: Spanish mother, English father.
105	* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Betrays Jack numerous times throughout the film, to the point where he has had enough and maroons her to keep her from pursuing him.
106	* CreepyCrossdresser: She disguised herself as Captain Jack Sparrow to recruit various pirates and presumably gain a ship and deceiving them into joining Blackbeard to find the fountain of youth. Of course, the real Jack Sparrow is being pinned with the blame, and he fights her until she makes a move that exposes her real identity as a former flame of his.
107	* DarkActionGirl: Dressed in black, serving the main villain, and one Hell of a fighter.
108	* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was about to take her final vows to become a nun, then she met and was ditched by Jack and she's been a trickster ever since.
109	* TheDragon: Blackbeard's right-hand-woman.
110	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She's probably the only person who actually loves Blackbeard, because he's her father. And however often she betrays Jack and tries to kill him, she still loves him. And the feeling's mutual.
111	* EvenEvilHasStandards: She's a pirate, but one of the least villainous ones in the series. She's convinced her father, Blackbeard, to spare Phillip because he's a clergyman and she's concerned about the well-being of his soul.
112	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Having learned that Blackbeard is her father, she intends to stick around so they can actually have a father/daughter relationship. Jack's repeated attempts to convince her that he is a crappy father and all-around evil person fall on deaf ears, despite multiple examples that demonstrate the man has no redeeming qualities.
113	* IdiotBall: She picks it up briefly in the climax. Even though she didn't know [[spoiler:it was poisoned, trying to pull a sword out of someone by grabbing the blade]] is still pretty dumb.
114	* KickTheDog: She tricks Syrena into thinking that Philip has been killed so that when he reveals himself to be alive and tries to rescue her, Syrena will cry tears of joy that can be used for the Fountain of Youth ritual.
115	* LoveMartyr: Her father is a monster and [[spoiler:eventually makes it clear her life means nothing to him]], yet in spite of all of that, she's still willing to sacrifice herself for him and try to save his soul. [[spoiler:She's enraged when Jack tricks her into stealing her father's life-force rather than letting Blackbeard steal hers.]]
116	* LukeYouAreMyFather: Convinces Blackbeard she's his daughter... by ''actually'' being his daughter, much to Jack's surprise.
117	* ManipulativeBitch: She had a good teacher - Jack himself! It's deconstructed by the end as Jack maroons her precisely because she's ''too'' manipulative.
118	* MoralityPet: She acts as one to Blackbeard, being the only person he seems to care about. He spares a clergyman because of her moral objections and listens to her advice on sparing Jack to use him. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, his affection is mostly self-indulgent, viewing her as just a possession he's fond of, and one he's willing to throw away should the need arise.]]
119	* NewOldFlame: To Jack. In fact, she was the only woman he had ever truly loved, and would ever love -- and he still went and left her.
120	* NeverASelfMadeWoman: Blackbeard's daughter and Jack's ex-girlfriend. Her motivation is to support her father.
121	* OfCorsetsSexy: Less sexy when you're pregnant in real-life, but that's what elastic's for.
122	* PirateGirl: Seems to have been a pirate for about twenty years when we first meet her.
123	* ReligiousBruiser: Prominently wears a cross, refuses to let a priest be killed, and firmly believes Blackbeard can be redeemed. Before Jack came about, she was preparing to become a nun.
124	* SamusIsAGirl: Jack wasn't expecting ''her'' to be the false Jack Sparrow everyone was talking about.
125	* SaveTheVillain: Jack's big dilemma in the climax is how to save her from a fatal poison wound.
126	* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Finds the voodoo doll of Jack in the after-credits scene.]]
127	* SpicyLatina: Hails from Spain and is quite a sexpot. Blackbeard accounts her fiery temper on account of her mother's "Latin blood."
128	* SweetPollyOliver: She first appears in the movie disguised as [[spoiler:Captain Jack Sparrow]].
129	* TakingTheVeil:
130	** Subverted; she and Jack met in a convent where she lived and when she was about to take the veil.
131	--->'''Angelica:''' I was ready to ''take my vows''!
132	** It's implied that because of her falling in love with Jack, she couldn't become a nun anymore and turned to the pirate life.
133	* {{Tsundere}}: She alternates between being hot, cold and incredibly passive-aggressive when interacting with Jack, her former lover. She's even tried to kill him in the past, though so have most people who've met Jack.

149	A missionary spared by Blackbeard at his daughter's request and taken captive on the ''Queen Anne's Revenge''.
150	----
151	* AllLovingHero: For the first part of the movie he is firm in his belief that all pirates, no matter how ruthless, can saved by God's love. Then Blackbeard crosses the line.
152	%%* AntiNihilist: He is this with Sirena.
153	* BadassPreacher: Though [[NonActionGuy not a fighter]], he is quite bold. He stands up to ''Blackbeard'' even after he's tied to the mast!
154	* DeadpanSnarker: The man has a fine wit. For instance, when Blackbeard asks if it's true that all souls can be saved, he replies that yes, it is true but Blackbeard himself is "a bit of a long shot".
155	* TheDragAlong: Captured by the crew, spared by Angelica and tied to the mast, in hopes that he can save Blackbeard's soul. After the crew's mutiny, he's freed and dragged along on the journey.
156	* DulcineaEffect: He becomes smitten with Syrena in no time and consistently tries to protect her.
157	* {{Expy}}: For John Chandagnac, TheProtagonist of [[Literature/OnStrangerTides the novel the movie is based on]]. He's an ordinary man kidnapped by pirates and forced to join in the search for the Fountain of Youth.
158	* FantasticRomance: With Syrena, a mermaid.
159	* {{Foil}}: To Angelica. Philip is a stand-up missionary while Angelica is a former convent novice who still seems to believe in God, despite her being a pirate. They initially share the belief that the evil soul of Blackbeard can be saved. However, Philip eventually learns to accept that Blackbeard is a lost cause when he sees how cruelly the pirate is willing to treat Syrena in his quest for the Fountain of Youth. Angelica in turn blindly clings to the possibility of his father's salvation [[spoiler:even after seeing how willing he is to sacrifice his daughter just to prolong his own life]].
160	* GoodCannotComprehendEvil: He believes that everyone has some good in them and ''all'' souls can be saved, even Blackbeard's. Before the movie's over, Blackbeard's actions convince him that he was wrong and Blackbeard is evil BeyondRedemption.
161	* GoodShepherd: He sincerely attempts to persuade the pirates to turn toward the path of righteousness, and he's the only one among them to show kindness to and demand humane treatment for Syrena.
162	* TheMissionary: He was spreading the Good News when Blackbeard's crew caught him.
163	* NiceGuy: Because he's a GoodShepherd it's a proactive niceness by spreading the Good News and demanding humane treatment for others.
164	* NonActionGuy: Justified; he's a priest. He's no good at action. [[spoiler:When he fights the Spaniards, he's very quickly injured in the abdomen.]]
165	* NoNameGiven: Up until the very last scene he's in, he is referred to as [[EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep Cleric, Missionary]], HeyYou, and other such terms.
166	* SequelHook: [[spoiler:Where did Syrena take him?]]
167	* ShirtlessScene: After he gives up his shirt to [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn protect Syrena's modesty,]] he spends the rest of the movie in his unbuttoned vest.
168	* SoleSurvivor: The Queen Anne's Revenge attacked the original ship he was on and killed the crew, but he only survived because Angelica made sure he was spared and brought aboard in hopes he can help save her father Blackbeard's soul.
169	* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Philip is suspiciously similar to Will Turner in terms of characterization: token good teammate on a pirate ship whose primary motivation is protecting his love interest [[spoiler: and is killed near the climax and for this purpose may or may not have been saved from it depending on what Syrena did to him.]] Both are also introduced as sole survivors of a crew and taken aboard by ships where they meet the other protagonists.
170	* ThisIsUnforgivable: He firmly believes in the goodness of men, and believes all pirates can be saved by God's love, though he admits that saving Blackbeard's is "a bit of a long shot." When Blackbeard has Syrena tied up half in the water for a slow, painful death to extract a tear from her, Philip backpedals, declaring that he was wrong and Blackbeard has no chance of redemption.
171	* TokenGoodTeammate: He's a captured missionary on a pirate ship.

180	----
181	* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Quartermaster laughs when Jack quips about "the missionary's position".
182	* TheBrute: Gunner, whose main purpose is terrorizing the crew and their enemies.
183	* CreepyMonotone: Both speak this way.
184	* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Gunner and Quartermaster are crushed by a falling pillar. [[spoiler:And since Blackbeard dies, the powers he used to zombify and control them did too]].
185	* EvilGenius: The Quartermaster, who can see the future.
186	* GhostPirate: Technically fall under this, as they are undead beings serving aboard a pirate ship. This would make them the third variant of the trope seen in the franchise.
187	* ScaryBlackMan: Gunner is a frightening, very tall, black male.
188	* {{Seers}}: The Quartermaster can apparently see into the future. It's his prophecy concerning Blackbeard's upcoming death that motivates the infamous pirate into searching for the Fountain of Youth. PlayedForLaughs later when Jack asks him if he'll survive a suicidal leap off a cliff.
189	* TheUndead: They've been zombified and resurrected by Blackbeard.
190	* UndyingLoyalty: The reason Blackbeard had them zombified is to make them obedient. In the junior novelization, Blackbeard resurrects the Cook he earlier burned to death. Apparently the scene was going to be filmed but was cut for being "too scary."
191	* VoodooZombie: They all qualify as this. The voodoo in question is Blackbeard's magic.
192	* WalkingShirtlessScene: None of their clothes completely cover their chests.
193	* WhipOfDominance: Gunner is a ScaryBlackMan whose primary duty is to intimidate, discipline, and force the human crewmates on the ship to work, which is why he's often seen with a cat o' nine tails whip, which he ruthlessly makes use of. The process that turned him into VoodooZombie (to keep him [[UndyingLoyalty loyal and compliant to Blackbeard's willpower]]) also apparently made him [[HairTriggerTemper permanently foul-tempered]], because his [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first scene]] consists of him walking around the deck of the ''Queen Anne's Revenge'', violently whipping any deckhands who [[DisproportionateRetribution aren't scrubbing to his satisfaction]]. Just goes to show, Blackbeard's officers are as much [[BadBoss bad bosses]] as [[BigBad he]] is.

203	* AgonyOfTheFeet: When they are briefly imprisoned on ''The Silent Mary'', Jack's crew hold Scrum down so they can [[{{Squick}} pull out his long, pointy toenail]] and use it as a lockpick.
204	* ButtMonkey: Scrum becomes this quite a lot, particularly in ''Dead Men Tell No Tales'' during his service in the Royal Navy after Gibbs dupes Scrum into thinking he's the captain.
205	* DistractedByTheSexy: Scrum ignores all the warnings he's been told about mermaids the second one swims up and begins flirting with him.
206	-->'''Scrum:''' Boys! There ain't much been given to me in my brief, miserable life, there's the truth of it. But by God, I'll have it said that Scrum had himself a kiss from a proper mermaid!
207	* TheDitz: Scrum wants to marry a mermaid. ''After the mermaids have butchered half of his crew''.
208	* DueToTheDead: [[spoiler:He takes his hat off in honor of Barbossa's sacrifice to save his daughter.]]
209	* HiddenDepths: Though he's not the sharpest tool in the shed, he's a very talented at playing the mandola.

211	* LovableCoward: Scrum flees from most fights, but is also very endearing.
212	* NumberTwo: He's Angelica's go-to guy whenever she needs assistance outside from Jack, to the point that Jack recruits his help in his temptation plan to get Angelica to tell him the ritual of the Fountain of Youth and neither of them make him leave when they're plotting together.
213	* OnlySaneMan: Compared to the rest of his crew, usually. When Jack suggests to just let Barbossa and Blackbeard fight without starting a huge battle, Scrum is the only one who agrees.
214	* PluckyComicRelief: He provides a funny, dim-witted sidekick to Jack in the fourth movie.

297	Pirate Lord of the Pacific Ocean, a blind Chinese woman who is one of the most feared and respected pirates in the world.
298	----
299	* CoolOldLady: Getting on in years and blind, but still captain of her feared fleet. Can hold off pirates and sailors alike in swordplay.
300	* 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.
301	* 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.
302	* {{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.
303	* 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.
304	* 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.
305	* 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.
306	* 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.

321	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.
322	----
323	* AGodAmI: May consider himself a god, since his followers revere him like a religious figure, and he even created his own currency.
324	* EthnicMagician: Some fear Sri Sumbhajee, believing he may have magical powers.
325	* 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.
326	* 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.
327	* MagicalAsian: He is a murderous pirate, but known to be very wise.
328	* MouthOfSauron: Uses two twin brothers—one as a mouthpiece, and another as a scribe—considering how high-pitched his voice actually is.
329	* 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.
330	* 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.
331	* RedBaron: Terror of the Arabian Sea.
332	* 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.
333	* SinisterMinister: A Hindu priest who happens to be a pirate.
334	* ThirdPersonPerson:
335	** 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:

337	'''Jack''': You made that up!\
338	'''Barbossa''': Did I now? I call on Captain Teague, keeper of the Code.\
339	'''Sri Sumbhajee's Mouthpiece''': Sri Sumbhajee proclaim this all to be folly! Hang the Code! Who cares if-- [''Captain Teague shoots the minion'']
340	** Later on, when voting for the Pirate King:
341	-->'''Sri Sumbhajee's New Mouthpiece''': Sri Sumbhajee votes for Sri Sumbhajee.

351	----
352	* AffablyEvil: Seems very polite and reasonable. He is called "Gentleman" for a reason, though that is actually the stolen name of his former, deceased slave master.
353	* FireForgedFriends: With Jack Sparrow.
354	* KarmicDeath: Delivers this to King Samuel, the man who enslaved him to begin with, and inherits his piece of eight and position as Pirate Lord of the Atlantic Ocean.
355	* MacGuffin: Holds one of the nine pieces of eight which can release Calypso from her bonds. His is a tobacco clipper. Rumor has it, he took revenge on his master with it.
356	* MadeASlave: Made a slave by an English trader named Gentleman Jocard. He kicked off a SlaveLiberation, later becoming their captain.
357	* 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''.
358	* OhCrap: Reacts this way when Barbossa and Elizabeth suggest freeing Calypso.
359	* 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.
360	* SupremeChef: Proved to be a talented chef, rescued by Jack Sparrow and served as a chef aboard the ''Black Pearl'' until he turned to piracy full-time.
361	* TongueTrauma:
362	** Orders Barbossa's tongue to be cut out when he proposes releasing Calypso from her bonds.

395	* HairTriggerTemper: Has a short fuse and prone to getting into fights.

397	%%* TheRival: To Chevalle
398	* SpannerInTheWorks: In the "Legends of the Brethren Court" novels, Villanueva seriously hampers the {{Big Bad}}'s efforts by forcibly inducting the man into his crew right before he can infiltrate the Black Pearl and start a mutiny. Instead, the mutiny is on Villanueva's ship, and he spends several weeks in the brig.

425
426	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.
427	----
428	* 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.
429	* 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.
430	-->'''Sao Feng:''' I would have your gifts, if you choose to give them.\
431	'''Elizabeth:''' And if I should choose ''not''?\
432	'''Sao Feng:''' Then I will take... ''your fury!''
433	* BaldOfEvil: He's a pirate, a traitor and an attempted rapist who's bald.
434	* BatheHerAndBringHerToMe: When he mistakes Elizabeth for Calypso he meets with her in private after giving her new clothes and tries to seduce her.
435	* BeardOfEvil: He's a pirate with a beard and Fu Manchu mustache.
436	* BodyguardBabes: He has twin sisters, Lian and Park, working as his personal bodyguards. Unfortunately they're killed relatively quickly in ''At World's End''.
437	* 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.
438	* 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.
439	* 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.
440	* DirtyCoward: What Elizabeth calls him, though he generally seems less cowardly than self-interested.
441	* 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.
442	* 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.
443	* 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.
444	* {{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
445	* 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.
446	* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: He tries to seduce Elizabeth, believing her to be Calypso, then tries to force himself on her when that fails.
447	* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: He dies after being impaled with a spike of shrapnel from his ship after a canon fired on it.
448	* 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.
449	* 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.
450	* 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.
451	* 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.
452	* TattooedCrook: He's a pirate with a tattoo on the back of his head.
453	* TranquilFury: Even when notably enraged, he usually keeps his emotions under control, restraining himself to a withering DeathGlare instead.
454	* 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.

467	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.
468	----
469	* 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."
470	* 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.

473	* 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.
474	* 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?

476	* DeadpanSnarker: "Does this face look like it's been to the Fountain of Youth?"
477	* 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.
478	* 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.
479	* 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.

483	* PapaWolf: He's always there when his son needs him.
484	* 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]].
485	* {{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.
486	* RetiredBadass: It's heavily implied he used to be a very fearsome pirate before taking up the job of keeper of the code.
487	* 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."
488	* SeenItAll: According to his son, anyway, he has "seen it all, done it all" and survived.
489	* SiblingYinYang: His younger brother [[CoolUncle Jack]] is considerably more easy-going than the very serious Teague.
490	* StealthHiBye: Manages to disappear while Jack's back is turned in a cramped London pub.
491	* 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.
492	* WhatYouAreInTheDark: The advice Teague gives Jack.
493	-->'''Jack:''' What? You've seen it all, done it all. Survived. That's the trick isn't it? To survive?
494	-->'''Teague:''' It's not just about living forever, Jackie. It's about living with ''yourself'' forever.

510	* 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''.
511	* OnlySaneWoman: Anamaria openly believes she is this in Jack's ragtag crew.

525	* 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.

527	* 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.
