Hector Barbossa Pirates Of The Caribbean The Curse Of The Black Pearl

Barbossa is a cunning and ruthless pirate captain, initially introduced as the main antagonist in the first film, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003). Over the course of the series, his character evolves into a complex anti-hero, shifting between being an ally and a rival to Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp.

In the first film, Barbossa is the captain of the Black Pearl, leading a cursed crew doomed to live as undead skeletons under moonlight due to an ancient curse tied to Aztec gold. His goal is to lift the curse by returning the stolen coins and repaying the blood debt. As the series progresses, Barbossa’s character takes on additional layers, becoming a privateer for the British Crown and eventually revealing his backstory, including his connection to Carina Smyth, his long-lost daughter, in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017).
