about Jack Sparrow

Jack Sparrow is said to be returning to life in the third movie. According to the official Disney website and the game based on the film series, Jack Sparrow, the son of Captain Grant Sparrow, was born in British Colonial India and was once employed by the East India Trading Company. Sparrow helmed the Wicked Wench, an EITC merchant vessel, performing odd jobs for Cutler Beckett. When he refused to transport slaves and instead freed them in Africa, Beckett sanctioned the torching (and sinking) of the Wicked Wench, and literally branded Jack Sparrow a pirate. Sparrow came to embrace his outlaw status, becoming a successful pirate with no desire to return to life under the command of others. Later, he petitioned Davy Jones to raise his ship from the ocean floor, and rechristened her the Black Pearl. Jones granted Sparrow captaincy of the ship for thirteen years, after which Jones would own Sparrow's soul.

Disney Press began a book series for young readers in June 2006, chronicling Sparrow's adventures as a teenager. Written by Rob Kidd, the first four books follow Sparrow and a young, motley crew in many adventures aboard a tiny fishing ship called The Barnacle. The adventures included a search for the legendary Sword of Cortés, and a trip to New Orleans that turned the city into bronze. Along the way, they battled pirates, ancient curses, witchcraft, sirens, and the power of the sea.
