Personality
" | Many things you were, Davy Jones. But never cruel. Y'all have corrupted your purpose... and then yourself. | „ |
~ Calypso. |
As the dark lord of the 7 Seas, Davy Jones is intelligent, tyrannical and heartless (both meanings). Towards his crew, he appeared to be cold, cruel and hateful. Davy Jones is known for his sadistic and destructive means.
Very arrogant, dangerous, and manipulative, Jones is shown to be a malicious creature. The only thing he seems to enjoy is to ensure the lives of those around him were as miserable and joyless as his own one. He regularly mistreated his own coiffure as well, assertive that all humans should suffer through the afterlife with much pain; this is backed upward by his declaration of "Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife exist any different?".
Yet, despite being a literally heartless wretch, he's shown having moments of genuine compassion, honor, and has a remorseful side. Despite feeling betrayed by Calypso, he nonetheless holds a warm center for her and tells her that his center will always vest to her. He shows some love to his pet Kraken, as he was left crying subsequently he killed it and he likewise showed a scrap of honor when he congratulated Volition on beating him at liar's dice for Bootstrap Neb'due south freedom in a deleted scene.
Appearance
" | Ragetti: Then, he wasn't ever so... tentacley? Calypso: No. He was a man... once. | „ |
~ Ragetti and Calypso about Davy Jones. |
Davy Jones was designed by the films' producers to be a mixture of various aquatic flora and fauna features. Jones'due south almost striking feature is his cephalopod-like head, with octopus-like tentacles giving the illusion of a thick beard, which is similar to the head of Cthulhu.
Throughout the films, Jones uses the 46 tentacles of his "beard" similar fingers to manipulate objects, such as the Expressionless Homo'due south Chest cardinal (he shows this during a game of Liar'south Dice), his hat (when his ship submerges), and the keys of his vast pipe organ; while dueling Helm Jack Sparrow in the climactic maelstrom battle sequence of the third film, he waves, wags, and wiggles all of his "bristles-tentacles" at once while screaming in frightening fashion in an endeavour to scare Sparrow, which, in context, appears humorous.
A prominent sac bulges from under the back of his barnacle-encrusted tricorne. Jones's confront lacks a nose, and instead has one short, hollow tentacle chosen a siphon (on the left side of his face) that acts as office of his respiratory system, capable of inhaling and exhaling, which nosotros see in the second film as he smokes his pipe. Davy Jones also has a crustacean - style crab - like claw for his left arm which is shown to be incredibly powerful equally he can snap a sword in two without difficulty. He has a long tentacle in place of the alphabetize finger on his right hand and his right leg is that of a crab (resembling a peg leg). He also speaks with a conspicuously distinguishable, admitting very thick, Scottish accent.
Biography
Past
Davy Jones is the captain of the Flight Dutchman (based on the feared ghost ship of the same name featured in nautical lore), and roams the seas in search of souls to serve upon his vessel for a century. He was previously the lover of Calypso, a "heathen goddess" from which a bad relationship turned him antagonistic. Jones is the legend behind the fictitious Dead Man's Chest, a major aspect of the 2nd pic. Davy Jones was once an great and ordinary human sailor who fell in love with the sea goddess Calypso. She entrusted him with the job of ferrying the souls of those who died at sea to the next earth. Calypso gave him the Flight Dutchman to accomplish this task. She swore that subsequently ten years, she would run into him and they would spend 1 solar day together earlier he returned to his duties. However, when Jones returned to shore after x years, Calypso failed to appear. Believing Calypso had betrayed him, a heartbroken and enraged Davy Jones turned the Pirate Brethren against her, saying that if she were removed from the world, they would be able to claim the seas for themselves. They assembled in the Commencement Brethren Court and Jones successfully taught them how to imprison her into her man form.
Despite betraying her, Jones still loved Calypso, and in despair and guilt for what he had done, he carved out his own centre from his torso and placed it in the "Dead Man'south Chest". The Chest was sealed and placed within a larger wooden breast, along with all other items having to do with her, except his matching musical locket. The chest was so buried on Isla Cruces. Jones kept the chest'due south primal with him at all times, leaving the locket abreast the massive piping organ aboard the Dutchman. With Calypso gone, Jones abased his duties and returned to the 7 Seas. As a consequence of this, Jones gradually became monstrous, his concrete advent merging with diverse aquatic beast. Sailors everywhere would fearfulness him to the decease, for Davy Jones had turned fierce and cruel, with an insatiable taste for all things savage. Jones recruits dying sailors by promising them a reprieve from death in commutation for 100 years of service aboard the Dutchman. During this time, he comes to control the Kraken, a feared mythological sea monster.
The Curse of The Blackness Pearl
Davy Jones doesn't appear in the first film The Curse of The Black Pearl, but he is mentioned past Will Turner when he says "Or I will pull this trigger and go down to Davy Jones' Locker!" and we can presume from this line that the feared pirate was currently killing and enslaving numerous pirates even at this time. Knowing that Helm Jack Sparrow knew of Davy Jones from his babyhood, this is nearly probable.
Expressionless Man's Breast
Davy Jones get-go appears in the second film Dead Man's Chest, where he attempts to collect on his bargain with Jack Sparrow. Sparrow argues that he was only captain for ii years before i of his coiffure members Hector Barbossa committed wildcat, but Jones rejects this caption. Sparrow then attempts to escape the deal past providing Volition Turner every bit a substitute for himself (the true plan of Sparrow was tricking Davy Jones for killing him and later gratis Volition). Jack strikes a new "deal" with Jones; Jack will be spared enslavement on the Dutchman if he brings Jones one hundred souls to replace his own within the adjacent three days. Jones accepts, removes the black spot from Jack's hand, and retains Will, keeping him as a "good organized religion payment" but will costless him if Sparrow gives to him i hundred souls.
While on the Dutchman, Will challenges Jones at a game of Liar'southward Dice. They wager Will's soul for an eternity of service against the key to the Dead Man's Chest. Bootstrap Pecker joins the game and purposefully loses to save Will. During the game, Volition learns where Jones keeps the cardinal. The side by side morn, Jones realizes the key is gone and summons the Kraken to destroy the ship carrying Turner, who actually survives. The Dutchman then sails to Isla Cruces to end Sparrow from getting the Chest.
Arriving, Jones sends his crew to retrieve the Chest; they return to him with information technology. The Dutchman then chases later the Blackness Pearl, but is outrun. Jones summons the Kraken, which drags Jack Sparrow and the Pearl to Davy Jones's Locker. He afterwards opens the Breast only to find his heart missing; Despite the fact that Sparrow was supposedly dead, Jones felt a summons from his heart and set canvass for the source of the summons, Port Royal. Upon arriving, he found the very man who had inadvertently spawned Sparrow's debt with Jones, Lord Cutler Beckett of the East Republic of india Trading Visitor. Beckett had Jones' center, presented to him by a former member of Jack Sparrow's crew, James Norrington. Jones took off his hat in respect for his new principal.
At World's Stop

Davy's send, the Flying Dutchman.
In the tertiary film, At World's Cease, Jones became Beckett's servant, since he possessed the center and could destroy it and kill Jones if he didn't obey his orders. Eventually, he and his crew fought alongside the E Bharat Trading Company against Will, Elizabeth, Barbossa, Gibbs, and other pirates in Jack'southward crew as the Black Pearl and Flying Dutchman faced off at a maelstrom created by Calypso, during which Jones dueled Jack, who eventually unlocked the Dead Man's Chest and threatened to stab Jones'southward heart with his cleaved sword (before snapped in two by Jones with his claw). He stabbed Will in the eye with his sword, twisting the blade. After seeing this, Bootstrap, previously driven insane from his imprisonment in the wall of the ship, returned to his senses and tackled Jones for what he had done to his son. However, Davy quickly overpowered Bootstrap. Before Jones could stab Bootstrap, Jack helped a dying Will stab the middle and Jones fell to his expiry into the maelstrom. As he fell, he whispered his terminal word: "Calypso". After years of sailing the sea spreading terror, Davy Jones was finally defeated and rejoined with Calypso. Bootstrap was able to bring Will back to life so Cutler would afterward be destroyed along with Jones.
Dead Human being Tell No Tales

Davy Jones, back from the dead.
In the post-credits scene of the 5th film Expressionless Man Tell No Tales, Will and Elizabeth are sleeping in their bed together when suddenly at that place are footsteps exterior their bedroom door. The person making the footsteps slowly creaks the door open up and walks into the room. His silhouette reveals that information technology is Jones, even so in his cursed form, back from the dead. Will awakens to see Jones raise his claw, ready for an attack. Suddenly, Will wakes up, then assumes that he was but dreaming and goes back to sleep. All the same, the photographic camera then pans to the floor, revealing a pool of water and barnacles, revealing that Jones has returned from the grave and will appear in the 6th film of the franchise. Information technology is unknown how this happened, but it probably happened when Jack destroyed the Trident of Poseidon in the film in lodge to defeat the evil undead ghost captain Armando Salazar. Fifty-fifty if Davy Jones is still trapped in his cursed grade, he is now able to walk on country and might be more than unsafe now than e'er.
Powers and Abilities
Powers
Being the captain of the Flying Dutchman gave Davy Jones the take chances to journeying between the country of the dead and the living. This was nearly likely the reason for his other supernatural traits, including the power to teleport himself and walk through solid objects. Jones was also able to restore the Wicked Wench when he raised the send from the depths after information technology was burned and sunk by the Due east India Trading Company. However, Jones could not step on country simply once every 10 years and by abandoning his duty equally the ferryman to the afterlife he brought a curse upon himself and his crew, which caused their transformation into fish-men.
- Psychopomp Physiology: Davy Jones is a very powerful and arguably the most powerful villain, even more than Blackbeard or Armando Salazar, in the series. Before his mutation into what he is today, he was an immortal existence, only later he forsaken his duty to ferry souls to the afterlife he mutated into hybrid of various aquatic animals like a crab and an octopus. He is able to control the legendary sea monster The Kraken, probably because of years of taming information technology and he is able to command over his ship The Flying Dutchman, which can go underwater without any negative furnishings and can "get one" with it, existence absorbed into the ship and appearing somewhere else on information technology, every bit he followed Jack Sparrow from the bottom of his ship to the upper parts of information technology. His power as the captain of The Flying Dutchman also gives him incredible strength and other concrete attributes, despite his size. After his resurrection he appeared to overcome his weaknesses and gained new powers as he can now make a man who he attacked into thinking who his appearance was simply a nightmare, despite it first appearance this is probably Jones most secret and most powerful ability.
- Immortality: Davy Jones is able to exist ageless and stay immature, but is able to die if someone kills him. After cut out his own heart out Davy Jones is nearly immortal and immune to all forms of hurting/injury. So long as his centre remains intact, Davy Jones cannot be killed by whatsoever other ways nor can he die from quondam historic period. His immortality makes it so that he ca shrug off beingness stabbed and shot past other pirates, withal this is inconsistent as Jones screamed in pain when his tentacle beard was cutting or when Will stabbed him in the chest. The chief attribute of this power is that it makes Davy so hard to kill. He is capable of regenerating any damage he received. His limbs and other parts of his body that are cut off can somehow still move around.
- Black Spot: He tin mark any private with the Black Spot and is the only one who tin can remove it. When he marks a person who owes him a dept. this allows both Jones and the Kraken to track him. Whoever agrees to become a member of his crew slowly mutates into grotesque hybrids of various sea creatures and eventually merges with the Dutchman afterward a century of slavery. His coiffure members would also have this ability simply they cannot remove information technology equally Jones tin can. It was also shown that the mark can reappear/announced on the person without concrete contact, every bit after Davy Jones himself removed the Black Spot while allowing Sparrow 3 days to assemble one hundred souls in exchange for his own. The mark instantly returned, without whatsoever physical contact from Jones or his coiffure, after William Turner stole the key to the Expressionless Man's Chest from aboard the Flight Dutchman.
- Interdimensional Travel: Before his outset death, Davy Jones had power over both the seven seas and the Davy Jones' Locker, a purgatory afterlife where those lost at ocean or taken by the Kraken dwell. This allows Davy Jones to beingness capable of switching between the world of the living and the dead. He also possesses his ain pocket dimension and own afterlife, the Davy Jones' Locker, in which he keeps his deceased enemies. Davy Jones is the ruler of the Davy Jones'due south Locker and tin make information technology to prove a person's worst fright when he puts them in there. It also impossible for fifty-fifty Calypso/Tia Dalma to retrieve souls who Davy Jones sent at that place because they were technically not expressionless in the general sense of the word. Whereas, near who died were allowed to have their souls movement on to some form of afterlife, Davy Jones' Locker acted as a course of purgatory. This is why Calypso/Tia Dalma couldn't bring Jack Sparrow back to life–similar she did with Hector Barbossa–as his soul was trapped within the Locker. Following his death information technology unknown what became of the Locker but is assuming information technology finish to exist, equally Will didn't punish any homo soul.
- Teleportation: Davy can teleport in a literal blink of an eye. However it appears he can merely teleport when there is seawater nearby. He frequently teleported from ship to send. At the outset of the search for the Dead Man's Breast, Davy Jones sent Bootstrap Beak Turner as an emissary to warn Jack Sparrow that it was fourth dimension to pay his debt. Turner teleported aboard the Blackness Pearl and gave Jack the Blackness Spot, marker him as a prey for Jones' legendary body of water beast, the Kraken. During the War Against Piracy, when Davy Jones discovered Will Turner onboard the scuttled transport, he teleported himself and several of his crew members onboard the Black Pearl to remind Jack Sparrow of his debt to him. A few months afterwards, when the Eastward India Trading Company Armada approached Shipwreck Island, Jones teleported himself to the prison cells on the Black Pearl to talk with Calypso.
- Intangibility: Davy is capable of passing through people and solid objects freely.
- Pincher Hook: Davy Jones possesses a crab-like leg, which acts like a peg leg and a pincer claw on his right paw that acts like a hook. His crab claw gives him super forcefulness to knock people down or out with a unmarried striking. His crab hook also served as weapon, with it he could easily break a person neck destroy, break, and/or curve swords when they are caught in betwixt.
- Octopus Tentacles: Davy Jones possesses a tentacle finger on his left hand and beard, using it to gouge out people's eyes or joke them past shoving them downwards the target's throat. These tentacles can be cutting off, motility on their own, and then reattach themselves to Davy Jones.
- Underwater Breathing: Similar the rest of his cursed crew, Davy Jones is able to breathe underwater and on land. This ability seems to stem from his monstrous advent.
- Clairvoyance: It is implied that Jones is clairvoyant. Multiple times has he been able to know things he shouldn't due to him not being there. For case, he was able to tell the Black Pearl's location and teleport on board even though it was out of sight and had its lanterns turned off. He besides realized William Turner Junior was sneaking around the Flying Dutchman even though he made no noticeable audio. He could tell that Jack Sparrow introduces himself as a captain afterward the ii haven't met for thirteen years.

After his resurrection he appeared to overcome this weaknesses, every bit he was able to enter Volition and Elizabeth's bedchamber.
