Jack and Barbossa have a sticky history. Barbossa was Jack's first mate while he was captain of the Black Pearl, but Barbossa led a mutiny against him and left him for dead on a deserted island. To Barbossa's great frustration, Jack always managed to come back.
Captain Barbossa was also a deadly enemy and nemesis to Captain Jack Sparrow. In his youth, Hector Barbossa was an honest sailor who left to make an easier living as a pirate. Originally a captain of the schooner Cobra, Hector would join the crew aboard the Black Pearl as Captain Jack Sparrow's first mate.
Three days into the voyage, the first mate of the Pearl, Hector Barbossa, tricked Captain Jack Sparrow into giving up the bearings to Isla de Muerta. That night, mutineers led by Barbossa overtook the Black Pearl and marooned their former captain to die on a deserted island.
Barbossa hates Jack so much because Jack is sort of like a pirate White Prince compared to him: (1) His father's already a powerful pirate, (2) Jack's spoiled and probably didn't start out by the "sweat of his brow" and all that and (3) Jack got a top-rate ship for nothing while Barbossa lost everything he had in ...
The screenwriters of The Curse of the Black Pearl confirmed that Barbossa naming the monkey "Jack" is a reference to Treasure Island, as the monkey was named after Barbossa's former captain Jack Sparrow, just as Long John Silver's parrot was named "Captain Flint", in mockery of Silver's former captain.
Named after Captain Jack Sparrow as a way of insulting the incorrigible buccaneer, the trouble-making, treasure-loving Capuchin monkey is one of the few characters to appear in all five Pirates of the Caribbean films so far.
Jack and Barbossa may have never liked each other much, but they were forced to ally themselves so often, that remaining enemies became difficult. They were always competitive, but in the end, their frienemy relationship was unavoidable.
In return for his resurrection, Barbossa struck a bargain with her to free the goddess from her human body with the help of the Brethren Court. In order to do so, it is necessary that Jack Sparrow is rescued from Davy Jones' Locker, where he was taken by the Kraken.
He makes steering the ship look difficult, while never making me doubt that he can do it. Barbossa is also a much more decisive leader than Jack Sparrow, whose magical compass that points to its holder's deepest desire can rarely maintain a direction.
In the first film, Sparrow is the former captain of the Black Pearl. After a mutiny by his first mate Hector Barbossa, he is left to die on an island. Though Barbossa and his crew are immortal as a result of a curse, Sparrow craves revenge.
In Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio's first screenplay draft of At World's End, following an encounter with Jack Sparrow in Davy Jones' Locker Hector Barbossa would have agreed to sail aboard the Black Pearl under Sparrow as his First Mate.
Right before the film's climactic battle with the pirates at Isla de Muerta, Sparrow swipes a cursed coin from the treasure chest, making himself immortal and capable of dueling Barbossa. He shoots his nemesis with the pistol he has carried for ten years just as Will breaks the curse, killing Barbossa.
While he was captain of the Black Pearl, Jack Sparrow had several different crews serving under his command. The first known crew sailed with Jack to Tortuga after he made the deal with Davy Jones. Prior to the quest for the Shadow Gold, Jack was joined by Hector Barbossa, who became his first mate.
He and his undead crew on the Black Pearl were wonderfully spooky, and his eventual death was tragic but entirely deserved. Overall, Barbossa was precisely the kind of villain that everyone loved.
Helmed by Captain Barbossa, the Black Pearl then engages in a sea battle around a maelstrom against the Flying Dutchman. The two ships are evenly matched, and both are damaged by the other's cannons and later boarded. On the Dutchman, Jack escapes the brig and engages Davy Jones in a sword fight.
Actually, they earnestly liked each other in The Price of Freedom and in the book series Jack saw Barbossa as his friend and his loyal follower, even if he mocked him very often (for his big hat, his vanity, him being the pirate lord of the Caspian Sea).
When they fell under the Aztec Curse, Barbossa and his crew suffered a living death, feeling and tasting nothing: "... drink would not satisfy; food turned to ash in our mouths." The pirate captain himself was tormented by flavorless apples.
Now a renowned pirate vessel and threat of the Caribbean, the Black Pearl would embark on many adventures on the high seas. Two years later, during the quest for the cursed treasure of Cortés, Jack Sparrow lost the Black Pearl by a mutiny led by his first mate, Hector Barbossa.
Their relationship is indeed platonic (more like chaotic) even after she let him kiss her. After all the adventures that they have been through, both of them are still willing to sacrifice one another to save themselves. A classic example would be Elizabeth cuffing Jack Sparrow to the ship as a sacrifice to the Kraken.
Davy Jones, a mortal Scottish pirate and a great sailor, fell in love with Calypso, a sea goddess. She entrusted him with the task of ferrying the souls of those who died at sea to the next world. Calypso gave him the Flying Dutchman to accomplish this task.
He was shot dead by Jack Sparrow and left to rot in that cave, surrounded by his treasure. However, at some point, a very powerful being comes across his body and uses her abilities to resurrect him: Tia Dalma.
When asked about some of the characters' health, screenwriter Terry Rossio said the likeliest cause of the yellow eyes is jaundice, a close cousin to scurvy; or, in the case of pirate captains Hector Barbossa and Chevalle, both considered ladies men, hepetitis.
This peg leg was Hector Barbossa's replacement for the limb that was lost during Blackbeard's attack on the Black Pearl. Given to him during his time as a privateer, Barbossa's first peg leg was a removable wooden leg which contained a hidden rum supply.
For the entirety of the first film, Barbossa keeps an apple upon his person, hoping it will be the first food he gets to taste when the curse is finally lifted.
