He was a master seaman who had excellent navigational abilities and a skilled strategist who was good at planning ahead. However, Barbossa was able to take a bite of an apple when he revealed himself in Tia Dalma's shack. At the moment of his death, Barbossa was holding an apple because he intended to eat it immediately after lifting the curse. This seemed to be one of Barbossa's simple pleasures in life - unable to feel or taste due to the curse - for this reason he always kept a number of apples on the table in his cabin on the Pearl. He offered an apple to Elizabeth during their dinner aboard the Pearl and he commented that after the curse was lifted, he would eat a whole bushel of apples. He seemed to genuinely care about the monkey, who occasionally accompanied his master everywhere and often sat on his shoulder.īarbossa’s favorite delicacy was caviar, but he also had a notable appreciation for green apples. Some time after his first mutiny on the Black Pearl, Barbossa kept a capuchin monkey, which he named " Jack" after his old captain Jack Sparrow.
Even after all they have been through, Barbossa was secretly an admirer of Jack's incredible escapes. Jack was also one of the few who called Barbossa by his first name "Hector", implying a good friendship prior to Barbossa's mutiny. He led the mutiny against Jack, resulting in becoming captain of the Black Pearl, but also helped rescue Jack from Davy Jones' Locker. Although he saw himself as an honourable man, Barbossa had a tendency to manipulate and twist deals he makes with people to his own advantage.īarbossa's relationship with Jack Sparrow was complicated. Like some pirates, Barbossa considered the Pirate Code to be "more guidelines than actual rules", but nevertheless he respected the right of parley and preferred interpreting the Code in his own favor instead of breaking it openly. He considered himself a gentleman of the seas and could act polite if he wished he possessed a certain eloquence which he frequently used to his advantage. Barbossa became a pirate because of his wish to raise his social status and his greed for wealth and power, but not because he wanted to live the adventurous life as a pirate in the way Jack Sparrow did. He had once been an honest sailor, but became corrupt upon realizing that he could gain a lot more a lot quicker if he broke the rules, even stooping to murder, which led to him becoming a pirate.Ĭonfident and persuasive, Hector Barbossa combines experience with almost reckless daring. Barbossa had a father who continually beat him and grew up in extreme poverty, but he would escape and went to sea at the age of 13. His father was of an unknown state and is mother was Irish. He was played by Academy Award winning actor Geoffrey Rush, who also played Casanova Frankenstein in Mystery Men and Steven Price in House on Haunted Hill. Among other appearances, the character appears in several books and video games. When the original Disneyland attraction was revamped in 2006, Barbossa was added to the ride. Over the course of the film series, he becomes more of an anti-hero, but at the climax of the fifth film, Barbossa turns good for real and redeems himself. The character is initially a villain who is completely willing to kill to get what he wants, but by the second film, despite still being selfish and deceitful, he is not evil like in the first film and helps Jack to defeat Davy Jones and Cutler Beckett.
He was a legendary perfidious (later good) pirate and Jack Sparrow's friend and former sworn enemy. He is the main antagonist of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, a cameo character in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, the tritagonist of both Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and the deuteragonist of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Hector Barbossa is one of the main characters of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. Too long my fate has not been in me own hands.
