Gentleman Jocard, formerly known as Gombo, is a character who appears in the 2007 Disney live-action film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.

Background[]

Serving as the Pirate Lord of the Atlantic Ocean, Jocard is a tall pirate who wore a brown and yellow ceremonial-style robe as well as a headdress he wears on the top of his head as well as wearing to large gold earrings and a necklace with a smaller version of a bull head. Jocard also wore three gold rings on his fingers. The weapon that Jocard used appeared to be something made of bone as well as a hook, which was unique to the Court as most members used a Westernized weapon.

Jocard appeared to show a rather aggressive behavior of the high seas, often showing restraint with Hector Barbossa during the fourth Brethren Court meeting while the Barbossa himself tried to suggest freeing Calypso - although he did show a respect for Mistress Ching by trusting her judgment and sitting beside her during the meeting.

Appearances[]

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End[]

In a plan to consult the pirate lords of the Brethren Court at Shipwreck Cove to fight against Davy Jones working for Lord Cutler Beckett, Jocard and the rest of the pirate lords are present with Jack Sparrow and his crew attending under command by Hector Barbossa where all the pirate lords hand their pieces of eight to bind Calypso in a plan to fight Davy Jones under command of Lord Cutler Beckett. During a plan to fight against Davy Jones and free Calypso, Jocard and the other pirate lords refuse to listen and fight each other in a brawl, believing Calypso is a threat to the Brethren Court. Barbossa, however, stops the fight, clarifying that it was the First Court who imprisoned Calypso, planning to release her. Jack Sparrow takes part in a speech devising a plan to fight against the EITC's forces while Barbossa summons Captain Teague who later arrives to deal with the plan.

As Captain Teague arrives, he shows Jack's crew and the Brethren Court the Codex to which all the pirate lords vote for themselves and as Elizabeth plans to fight against the EITC, Jocard and the other pirate lords accept Elizabeth's request in a plan to fight against the EITC. Later when Elizabeth commands all the pirates to raise their flags to prepare for battle, Jocard is present with the pirate lords who also raise their flags to prepare to fight against Davy Jones and the EITC under Elizabeth's command. After Davy Jones falls to his death during battle at the maelstrom and Lord Cutler Beckett is defeated for good, Jocard and the other pirate lords celebrate their freedom from the EITC, alongside Tai Huang and his men and the crew of the Black Pearl in victory.

Trivia[]

  • The symbol on Jocard's pirate flag has a striking resemblance to the that of Bartholomew Roberts, a historical real-world pirate - specifically the second flag design.
  • The name "Gombo" was used in the Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired novel series, Legends of the Brethren Court where Jocard lived his life as a slave under the name "Gombo" until he escaped from slavery with the rest of the freed slaves where he named himself "Gentleman Jocard" to remember his moments after escaping a slave owner, deciding to keep his name from this moment.
  • Jocard's piece of eight was a pair of tobacco cutters. In real-world history, the first tobacco cutters were invented in the 19th century, long after the Golden Age of Piracy.
