Sweepy was apparently the name of a member of the Pelegostos tribe during the time of Lord Cutler Beckett's occupation of Port Royal.[1]

Biography[]

Around 1729, Captain Jack Sparrow and his Motley crew arrived on Isla de Pelegostos, and were captured by the Pelegostos Tribe. The Pelegostos were convinced that Jack was a god in human form, and planned to release him from his mortal coil by ceremonially ingesting his flesh.[2]

While the natives prepared their feast, Sweepy seemed to perform the role of a witchdoctor, dressed in a skull mask and skeletal paint on his body as he led the others in a ritual dance by the fire pit. The dance came to an end when a cannibal arrived with a torch to light the fire, over which Sparrow was tied to a spit. However, before the fire could be lit, another native alerted the tribe that the crew was escaping their bone cages, and Sweepy joined the rest of the tribe in chasing after the prisoners.

As Jack Sparrow fled aboard the Black Pearl and bade the tribespeople farewell, the natives looked on mournfully, calling out to Jack to return. With Sparrow gone, the Pelegostos were left without a chief, until they spotted a dog sitting on the beach. And so the Pelegostos accepted the dog as their new chief. Sweepy led another ceremonial dance, but the ritual would again be left unfinished when the dog somehow managed to escape the island.
