He's introduced as the main antagonist and captain of the Black Pearl, though as the perpetually knowledgeable Gibbs explains, Barbossa once served as Jack Sparrow's first mate aboard the ship.
What is the relationship between Jack and Barbossa?
Jack Sparrow And Hector Barbossa
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.
Ten years before the events of The Curse of the Black Pearl, Barbossa led a mutiny against Jack Sparrow and marooned him on an uncharted island. Arriving at the treasure of Isla de Muerta, 882 identical pieces of Aztec gold, they claim it and spend it all.
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.
He led the mutiny against Jack, resulting in becoming captain of the Black Pearl, but also helped rescue Jack from Davy Jones' Locker. Jack was also one of the few who called Barbossa by his first name "Hector", implying a good friendship prior to Barbossa's mutiny.
He was once the captain of the Pearl, but when he shared the bearings to a hidden chest of Aztec gold coins, First Mate Barbossa instigated a mutiny and marooned Jack on an island. Jack escaped three days later.
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.
Joshamee Gibbs!" ―Joshamee Gibbs[src] Joshamee Gibbs was the longtime comrade and devoted first mate of Captain Jack Sparrow. Teller of tales, handy with a bottle, this veteran sea salt was truly a skillful sailor who cleverly navigated his way through many deadly situations.
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.
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).
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 ...
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.
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.
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.
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.
His most powerful curse, the Black Spot, infuses his arm in uncontrollable cursed magic, but Captain Jack Sparrow was never one to let such a thing hold him back. After all, no self-respecting swashbuckler leaves the cabin without their captain's hat, pirate coat, and…

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.
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.
