Jones raised the Black Pearl from the sea in exchange for a guarantee of service as a crewman on the Flying Dutchman.

In Dead Man's Chest, it is revealed that Sparrow once made a deal with Davy Jones. With the help of Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann, he lifts the curse and kills Barbossa. Though Barbossa and his crew are immortal as a result of a curse, Sparrow craves revenge.

After a mutiny by his first mate Hector Barbossa, he is left to die on an island. In the first film, Sparrow is the former captain of the Black Pearl. He insists on being introduced as 'Captain' Jack Sparrow. Depp based his characterization on The Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and cartoon character Pepé Le Pew.

First introduced in the film Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), he later appears in the sequels Dead Man's Chest (2006), At World's End (2007), On Stranger Tides (2011), and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017). Captain Jack Sparrow is the protagonist of the series, portrayed by Johnny Depp.
