Is Davy Jones from the Pirates movie a god?

[Chaoszero]

I watched the Pirate of the Caribbean movies for the first time since they were in theaters and noticed that Davy Jones is quite powerful.

He can transport himself and his crew from ship to ship.
He commands the kraken.
He seems to know everything that happens to anyone at sea.
He can sentence souls into servitude.

He also, however, has weaknesses such as his heart and he does become subservient to a human in the third movie.

Is he therefore a god? Or perhaps an exarch or demi-god much like the demon princes? Or is he just a very powerful creature?

No.

Calypso might be, with Davy as her Exarch.

 

[S'mon]

Demon Lord, I'd say.

The closest analogue might actually be a Darklord of the shadowfell--Both cursed and empowered by the evils he's committed and the tragedies he's suffered, Granted incredible control, but only over his domain.

Davy Jones from the Pirates movies is not a god.

Davy Jones from the Monkees is.

 

[Calico_Jack73]

I'd say he most reminds me of the Mystic Navigator PrC from Skull & Bones.

Elder evil or demon lord.

Exarch of Calipso? Yes, Full Fledged God Himself? no.

One has to understand Davy Jones really is not a single entity, even if you kill Davy Jones you replace him therefore becoming the new Jones, Davy Jones is not a single individual.

 

[Aberzanzorax]

That is an excellent point.

Seconded for exarch of Calypso.

EDIT: (or thirded)

You can also just think of him as a powerful form of lich. His heart is his phylactery.

And, by the way, he doesn't sentence souls, as he seems to ask for their servitude - "Are you afraid of Death?"
