Hector Barbossa

Hector Barbossa or Captain Barbossa is a pirate and the main villain of Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. He was Captain Jack Sparrow's first mate when Sparrow was captian of the Black Pearl, but after leading a mutiny against Jack became the captain of the Black Pearl himself. He has a strange liking for Apples.

When Barbossa was Jack Sparrow's first mate, he asked Jack for the location of Isla de Muerte, and then once he had the location led a mutiny against Jack and took over the Black Pearl. They left Jack on an island with only a single-shot pistol, while Barbossa and the rest of the crew found the Aztec gold on Isla de Muerte. They shared it among themselves bring an ancient Aztec curse down on them in the process. To lift the curse, Barbossa and the crew realized they must return all 882 pieces of the Aztec gold to Isla de Muerta, with a blood sacrifice from all who removed them. This was a task made difficult as "Bootstrap Bill" Turner, who was against the mutiny, sent a piece of the gold off to his son, believing that Barbossa and his crew deserved to be cursed and stay cursed. Not pleased with this Barbossa had Bootstrap tied to a cannon and thrown overboard afterwards realizing that they needed a blood sacrifice from him.

When under the curse, Barbossa and his crew turned in to rotting skeletons under the moonlight. They could not be killed by any weapon when cursed. It was said about Barbossa that he was so evil that hell literally spat him out. He has a pet monkey, named Jack.

Barbossa is shot by Jack Sparrow (with the same single-shot pistol Barbossa had left him) shortly before the two final coins with the necessary blood are returned to the chest. Barbossa fills cold as he falls down defeated.

Barbossa is in one scene in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest at the end of the movie, he walks in and asks what become of his ship as he takes a bite out of a green apple.

Barbossa also appears in the same role in the game Kingdom harts II.
