Davy Jones and the chaplain[src]

This man was one of the few survivors present on the scuttled ship where William Turner was sent by Jack Sparrow to settle his debt with Davy Jones.

Biography[]

At some point in his life, this man became a merchant sailor on an unknown ship, serving as a chaplain. He was in service aboard this vessel when the Kraken suddenly attacked it, killing over three quarters of the crew and splitting the entire ship in half. This man barely managed to survive this attack, but still had visible injuries such as a bloody forehead. Left paralysed from the terrifying experience, he hid, shivering.[1][2]

The survivors were later confronted by the crew of the Flying Dutchman. When offered service by Davy Jones, the chaplain encouraged the other crewmen to refuse. Angered by this and the chaplain's possession of a crucifix, Jones grabbed his throat and asked if he feared death. The chaplain promptly implied that he would not serve Jones. In response, Jones had him executed by Greenbeard, and his body was thrown overboard.[1][2]

  3. James "Jim" Carson's calendar of Henry Turner's waiting for Will Turner's return from Dead Men Tell No Tales shows that Will's first visit to his family after ten years of captaining the Flying Dutchman, which is shown in the after credits scene of At World's End, occurred in August 1739, which means Will was killed by Davy Jones during the Battle of Calypso's maelstrom in August 1729. The official At World's End novelization sets the events of At World's End a few months after the events of Dead Man's Chest which sets the Chaplain's death in 1729.
