Biography: Born to an impoverished Irish noblewoman, he hailed from the West Country in England. At 13, he ran away from home to become a sailor. Initially, he wanted to serve in the merchant navy, but upon seeing the grandeur of the captains' quarters, he realized that an honest sailor could not afford such a lifestyle and chose the pirate life. The Curse of the Aztecs. The crew found treasure, but it turned out to be "blood tribute" paid by the Aztecs to Cortés for King Montezuma. After Montezuma's murder, priests cursed the treasure with the names of pagan deities. Barbossa and his crew became the living dead—undead who cannot be killed, but who cannot taste food, feel the sea breeze, or feel other human pleasures. To get rid of him, they must return the treasure and sprinkle it with the blood of all crew members. However, by that time, the crew had already spent some of the gold. One of the pirates, Bootstrap Bill, went missing. Before this, he sent one of the medallions to his son William Turner. Barbossa, unaware of his son, assumed Elizabeth Swann (who gave her last name as Turner) was Bootstrap Bill's daughter, preventing him from completing the ritual. The curse was eventually lifted with the help of William Turner, but Jack Sparrow managed to shoot Barbossa. After his death, Barbossa was resurrected by Calypso (Tia Dalmoi). He also acquired a daughter, but he gave her, Carina, to an orphanage so she wouldn't lead a pirate's life. No one knows about this, and he doesn't tell anyone.

Tortuga, a famous pirate haunt, became a major piracy center in the Caribbean in the 17th century. Pirates found the island's convenient location in the Windward Passage, along the route of Spanish galleons sailing from Hispaniola to Europe. Ships carrying valuable cargo passing by the island were a tasty morsel for the pirates. The heyday of piracy occurred between 1640 and 1680, a period known in the history of buccaneering as the "Golden Age." Tortuga became a major center of illegal trade, receiving treasures plundered from the Spanish: gold and silver, precious stones, spices, fabrics, and luxury goods.

Calypso: In her divine guise, Calypso was described as a beautiful woman with grace and poise, fickle and capricious as the sea itself. Her strength could only be matched by the great sea god Poseidon, and only Zeus could command her. After being imprisoned in a human body, Calypso retained her immortality and remained powerful. As a mortal woman, she lived inland, in dense jungles, and was considered a dangerous ally.

Who is Calypso?: Davy Jones's lover. Calypso made him the immortal captain of the ghost ship "Flying Dutchman" and tasked him with ferrying the souls of those lost at sea to the afterlife.

She was imprisoned in human flesh after the First Pirate Council of the Brotherhood learned of her connection to Jones and decided to subjugate her so that power at sea would belong to humans, not gods.

She possessed magical abilities: she could cast spells using crab claws, which showed her the location of people, revive the dead, and manipulate biological bodies.
