Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morrus" data-source="post: 2950322" data-attributes="member: 1">Captain Jack SparrowCaptain Jack Sparrow is a fictional pirate and main character in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise.  Captain Jack Sparrow commands the legendary and accursed ship named the Black Pearl. Not much is know about how Jack's early life other than he was Captain of the Black Pearl at the time it was lost to the depths of the ocean, an event which sparked Jack to strike a deal with Davy Jones. Sparrow's most obvious characteristic is a slightly drunken stagger, accompanied by awkwardly flailing hand gestures that make him look unfocused (or possibly slightly ataxic). Attributed to the heat stroke he was rumored to have suffered while marooned—he actually spent that time cavorting with the rum runners who helped him escape and was unlikely to have suffered anything worse than a severe hangover—Sparrow's gestures are believed to be a ploy to help keep his enemies off-guard. His perpetual drunkenness could also lead to his tendency to slur his speech. Jack possesses a distinctive tattoo on his right forearm of a swallow flying in front of a setting sun over the ocean. This is apparently a well-known identifying mark for the infamous pirate as Commodore Norrington seemed to recognize it immediately. He also has had the letter "P" (for pirate) branded on his right wrist by the East India Trading Company.While atypical for a pirate, Sparrow is also known for his altruistic nature; he often puts himself in harm's way to save other people, most notably Will and Elizabeth. The film's script suggests Jack's kindness is part of the reason why his crew mutinied—when Jack offers a nonviolent way to find a piece of the cursed Aztec gold on the Navy ship Interceptor, Barbossa claims, "Now, y'see Jack, that's exactly the attitude that lost you the Pearl. People are easier to search when they're dead." Additionally, he appears highly adept at employing game theory to achieve his ends.Jack is oftened accused of fabricating stories to glorify his escapades, however several scars and pirate brandings would lend to proof to the concensus that Jack has had his fair share of dangerous outings.Jack apparently suffers from extremely bad breath. He caused Norrington to take a step back when he got a little close, and made Governor Swann gag at the end of the first film. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5b/Captain_Jack_Sparrow.jpg/250px-Captain_Jack_Sparrow.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></blockquote>
