Cutler Beckett

Lord Cutler Beckett is a villain in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and its sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. Beckett works for the East India Trading Company, and had a past with both Jack Sparrow, and Weatherby Swann.

At the time of Dead Man's Chest, Beckett was sent to Port Royal to capture the pirate Captain Jack Sparrow, as well as to arrest James Norrington (who lost his position as Commodore), Elizabeth Swann, and Will Turner for helping Jack escape in the first movie.

Beckett soon struck a deal with Will Turner; Will and Elizabeth would be pardoned and Jack made a privateer under the English crown, in exchange for Jack's compass, which would lead him to the heart of Davy Jones which would give Beckett countrol over the sea. Will agreed, and set off to locate Jack. Beckett also made similar deals with Elizabeth and her father.

At the end of movie, it is James Norrington who returns with, not the compass, but the heart itself.
