Captain Jack Sparrow, the assumed son of an East India Trading
Company seaman Captain Teague Sparrow and an Indian maiden, was
born in British Colonial India on a pirate ship during a typhoon
and was once employed as an agent by the East India Trading
Company. Sparrow helmed the Wicked Wench, an EITC merchant vessel,
performing odd jobs for Cutler Beckett. When he refused to
transport slaves and instead freed them in Africa, Beckett
sanctioned the torching (and sinking) of the Wicked Wench, and
literally branded Jack Sparrow a pirate. Sparrow came to embrace
his outlaw status, becoming a successful pirate with no desire to
return to life under the command of others. He soon became one of
the Nine Pirate Lords, with his territory being the Caribbean Sea.
Later, he petitioned Davy Jones to raise his ship from the ocean
floor, and rechristened her the Black Pearl. Jones granted Sparrow
captaincy of the ship for thirteen years, after which Jones would
own Sparrow's soul for one hundred years.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, (2007) is an adventure
film, the third in the Pirates of the Caribbean films, following
The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) and Dead Man's Chest
(2006).
