Hector Barbossa was Jack's first mate aboard the Black Pearl until he led a mutiny and left Jack marooned after finding the treasure of Cortés in Isla de Muerta.

Barbossa has a pet monkey, which he has mockingly named "Jack" after his old captain.

After extracting a promise that Jack will help him find the Black Pearl, which has abducted Elizabeth, Will helps the pirate escape.

After staging a diversion by seemingly attempting to capture the HMS Dauntless, they jump aboard the Interceptor, the Royal Navy's fastest ship, and make way for open water.

William Turner, more commonly referred to as Bootstrap or Bootstrap Bill, was a loyal cohort of Captain Jack Sparrow. After the crew of the Black Pearl mutinied and fell under the Aztec curse, he sent one of the Aztec coins to his son Will, believing the crew deserved to remain cursed for betraying Jack and the Pirate's Code.

With the help of Joshamee Gibbs, a longtime comrade and former sailor in His Majesty's Royal Navy, Jack recruits a motley crew to sail aboard the Interceptor.

Immediately upon arriving in Tortuga, Jack is greeted with a slap by both Scarlett and Giselle, two women he has apparently wronged. Later, when he is trying to put together a crew, he is slapped by Anamaria, whose ship he has previously stolen.

As part of the curse, the crew has become undead, and moonlight reveals them to be living, rotting skeletons.

Knowing he needs her on his crew, Jack promises to give Anamaria the Interceptor if she will sail with him.

Although it appears to be nothing more than a useless trinket, Jack's compass, which he bartered from the voodoo mystic Tia Dalma, points to whatever he desires most.
