Background
Captain Hector Barbossa appears in all 4 Pirates of the Caribbean movies.
Hector served as First mate on the Black Pearl under the command of Captain Jack Sparrow, until he raised a mutiny against him. He later marooned Jack on an island and took command over the Black Pearl. Soon, he and his crew became cursed by the Aztec gold they found on the Isla de Muerta, meaning that under the moonlight they were revealed as undead skeletons, and were therefore almost invincible, being able to walk under water and be shot or stabbed without dying, but they also had no sense of taste or touch. The curse could only be lifted once all 882 Aztec coins that were stolen are returned to the chest they came from, along with a blood sacrifice from each crew member. Before realising the cursed nature of the gold, the pirates threw Bill "Bootstrap" Turner overboard, (without realising he had sent what would later become the last piece of gold, to his son William). The pirates collected all but Turner's coin, and thus they need the blood of a descendant of Turner to break the curse.
In The Curse of the Black Pearl, he sets out to find the last piece of Aztec Gold and initially believes Elizabeth Swann is Bootstraps descendant, before Will Turner reveals himself to be. He maroons Jack and Elizabeth on Rumrunner's Isle and sets out to lift the curse. Jack warns him about Admiral Norrington's men attempting to catch his crew in the crossfire, Jack then deceives Barbossa and Will lifts the curse just as Jack uses his one shot to shoot the now mortal Barbossa…
In Dead Man's Chest, Jack picks up his hat in Tia Dalma's shack. After Jack the Monkey is freed from his cage, he stands at the foot of a concealed man lying down. After Jack Sparrow's death, he reveals himself to the remaining crew, having being resurrected by Tia Dalma.
In At World's End, he leads the voyage to return Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl from Davy Jones' Locker. He constantly bargains with Jack and Sao Feng in order to get the Brethren Court to conveine, so that he can fulfill his vow of freeing Heathen God, Calypso from her human form, Tia Dalma. After the pirates are victorious against the East India Trading Company, he steals the Black Pearl from Jack again.

In On Stranger Tides, he has become a privateer in the employ of King George II. He lost the Black Pearl and his right leg in a confrontation with Blackbeard. After Jack Sparrow escapes from the King, he orders Barbossa to give chase in somewhat of a race to the Template:SpL.

Captain Barbossa is back! Well, at least most of him is. Don’t be fooled by his limp or missing limb, this pegleg pirate still won’t be slowed in the race for the Fountain of Youth or to avenge the loss of his leg by hunting down the man he blames for his demise, Blackbeard. Barbossa is reformed from his outlaw ways and now sails under the flag of the Crown, as a privateer charged with finding the Fountain of Youth. |
