'''Captain Jack Sparrow''' is a fictional character and the main [[protagonist]] in the ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean (film series)|Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' film series. The character was created by screenwriters [[Ted Elliott (screenwriter)|Ted Elliott]] and [[Terry Rossio]], and is portrayed by [[Johnny Depp]], who based his characterization on [[The Rolling Stones|Rolling Stones]] guitarist [[Keith Richards]] and cartoon character [[Pepé Le Pew]]. He first appears in the 2003 film ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl]]''. He later appears in the sequels ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest|Dead Man's Chest]]'' (2006), ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End|At World's End]]'' (2007), ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides|On Stranger Tides]]'' (2011), and ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales|Dead Men Tell No Tales]]'' (2017).
 
In the films, Sparrow is one of the nine pirate lords in the Brethren Court, the Pirate Lords of the Seven Seas. He can be treacherous and survives mostly by using wit and negotiation rather than by force, opting to flee most dangerous situations and to fight only when necessary. Sparrow is introduced seeking to regain his ship, the ''[[Black Pearl]]'', from his mutinous first mate, [[Hector Barbossa]]. Later he attempts to escape his blood debt to the legendary [[Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Davy Jones]] while battling the [[East India Trading Company]]. The character's role expanded as the films progressed.
 
The ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' series was inspired by the Disney [[Pirates of the Caribbean (attraction)|theme park ride of the same name]], and when the ride was revamped in 2006, the character of Captain Jack Sparrow was added to it. He headlines the [[The Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow (attraction)|Legend of Captain Jack Sparrow]] attraction at [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]], and is the subject of spin-off novels, including a children's book series ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: Jack Sparrow]]'', which chronicles his teenage years.
 
==Films==
 
===''The Curse of the Black Pearl''===
{{Main|Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl}}
Captain Jack Sparrow first appears in ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl|The Curse of the Black Pearl]]'' (2003) when he arrives in [[Port Royal]] in Jamaica to commandeer a ship. Despite rescuing [[Elizabeth Swann]] ([[Keira Knightley]]), the daughter of [[Weatherby Swann|Governor Weatherby Swann]] ([[Jonathan Pryce]]), from drowning, he is jailed for piracy. That night, a cursed pirate ship called the ''[[Black Pearl]]'' attacks Port Royal and Elizabeth is kidnapped. The Black Pearl's captain, [[Hector Barbossa]] ([[Geoffrey Rush]]), desperately seeks one last gold coin to break an ancient Aztec curse that he and his crew are under. A blacksmith named [[Will Turner]] ([[Orlando Bloom]]) frees Sparrow to aid him in rescuing Elizabeth. They commandeer the HMS ''Interceptor'' and recruit a motley crew in [[Tortuga (Haiti)|Tortuga]] in Haiti before heading to [[Isla de Muerta]], where Elizabeth is held captive. Along the way, Will learns that Sparrow was the ''Black Pearl's'' captain until Barbossa led a mutiny ten years earlier and took over the ship, marooning Sparrow on an island to die. Sparrow tells Turner that his father was a pirate known as "Bootstrap" Bill Turner.<ref name="curse">{{cite video | people = [[Gore Verbinski]] (director) | title = [[Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl]] | type = Film | publisher=[[Walt Disney Pictures]] |year=2003}}</ref>
 
The rescue attempt goes awry and Barbossa maroons Jack and Elizabeth on the same island he had stranded Sparrow before. Elizabeth creates a signal fire from rum barrels and they are rescued by the British [[Royal Navy]]. Sparrow cuts a deal with Commodore [[James Norrington]] ([[Jack Davenport]]) to lead Norrington to the ''Black Pearl''. Norrington refuses until Elizabeth, desperate to save Will, spontaneously accepts Norrington's earlier marriage proposal. Right before the film's climactic battle with the pirates at Isla de Muerta, Sparrow swipes a cursed coin from the treasure chest, making himself immortal and capable of dueling Barbossa. He shoots his rival with the pistol he has carried for ten years just as Will breaks the curse, killing Barbossa. Despite having assisted the Navy, Sparrow is sentenced to hang.<ref name="curse"/>
 
At Sparrow's execution in Port Royal, Will saves Sparrow, but they are quickly captured. Elizabeth intervenes, declaring her love for Will who is pardoned, while Sparrow escapes by tumbling off a sea wall. The ''Black Pearl'' and her new crew arrive in time to retrieve him, and he becomes captain once more. Impressed by the wily pirate, Norrington allows him one day's head start before giving chase.<ref name="curse"/>
 
===''Dead Man's Chest''===
{{Main|Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest}}
A year following the events of the first film, Sparrow searches for the Dead Man's Chest, which contains the heart of [[Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Captain Davy Jones]] ([[Bill Nighy]]). Sparrow made a bargain with Jones to raise the sunken ''Black Pearl'' and make Sparrow captain for thirteen years. Now the debt is due, and Sparrow must either serve one hundred years aboard the ''[[The Flying Dutchman (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Flying Dutchman]]'', or be dragged to [[Davy Jones's Locker (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Davy Jones's Locker]] by the [[Kraken (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Kraken]]. If he can find the Dead Man's Chest Sparrow can free his soul and control Jones and the seas.<ref name="chest">{{cite video | people = [[Gore Verbinski]] (director) | title = [[Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest]] | type = Film | publisher=[[Walt Disney Pictures]] |year=2006}}</ref>
 
Adding to Sparrow's woes, [[Cutler Beckett|Lord Cutler Beckett]] ([[Tom Hollander]]) of the [[East India Trading Company]] has a personal score to settle with Sparrow. Beckett wants the chest and forces Will Turner to search for Sparrow and his magic compass. Turner locates Sparrow and his crew on [[Pelegosto]], held captive by cannibals who intend to eat Sparrow. They escape, and voyage to Tia Dalma (later revealed to be the Goddess, Calypso, bound in human form as Dalma, and former lover of Jones). Dalma immediately sees destiny in Will, and provides Sparrow with a jar of dirt - Jones can only set foot on land once every 10 years, and since land is where Sparrow is safe, Dalma suggests with the dirt that he takes land with him.
 
Sparrow strikes a new deal with Jones to deliver one hundred souls in exchange for his own. Jones agrees but keeps Turner as a "good faith payment". Sparrow is recruiting sailors in Tortuga when he encounters Elizabeth Swann and James Norrington, the latter having succumbed to alcohol. Sparrow convinces Elizabeth that Turner can be freed by using the magic compass to find the chest. The duo head for [[Isla Cruces]] and find Will, who escaped Jones's ship and has stolen the key to the Chest. Turner wants to stab Jones's heart and free his father from Jones's servitude, while Norrington plots to restore his career by delivering the heart to Beckett. Sparrow wants it to convince Jones to call off the Kraken.<ref name="chest"/>
 
Norrington escapes with the heart amid a battle with Jones's crew, and Jones summons the Kraken. Realizing Sparrow is the target, Elizabeth traps him aboard the ''Black Pearl'' as the crew abandons the ship, and kisses him while she handcuffs him to the mast. Then, the monster devours Sparrow and drags the ship and his soul to Davy Jones's Locker. The surviving crew seeks refuge with [[Tia Dalma]] ([[Naomie Harris]]), a magic woman, who produces a captain she says can rescue Sparrow: it was her doing that brought Barbossa back to life.<ref name="chest"/>
 
===''At World's End''===
{{Main|Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End}}
With Davy Jones's heart in his possession and the
''Flying Dutchman'' under his command, Cutler Beckett begins exterminating all pirates. To combat Beckett, the nine pirate lords of the [[Brethren Court]] convene at Shipwreck Cove. Only Jack Sparrow is missing, killed and sent to Davy Jones's Locker at the end of the previous film. Sparrow, as Pirate Lord of the Caribbean, must attend, as he did not bequeathe to a designated heir his "[[Spanish dollar|piece of eight]]", a pirate lord's marker. The collective "nine pieces of eight" are needed to free sea goddess [[Calypso (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Calypso]] to defeat Beckett. With [[Elizabeth Swann]] ([[Keira Knightley]]) and Will Turner, Barbossa leads Sparrow's crew to Davy Jones's Locker using stolen navigational charts from the pirate lord [[Sao Feng]] ([[Chow Yun-fat]]). After the crew locate him, Sparrow deciphers a clue on the charts allowing them to escape the Locker.<ref name="world">{{cite video | people = [[Gore Verbinski]] (director) | title = [[Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End]] | type = Film | publisher=[[Walt Disney Pictures]] |year=2007}}</ref>
 
At the Brethren Court, Elizabeth has succeeded Captain Sao Feng as a Pirate Lord and is elected "Pirate King" after Sparrow breaks a stalemate vote. Sparrow is briefly reunited with his father, Captain Teague ([[Keith Richards]]). During a [[parley]] with Beckett and Jones, Sparrow is traded for Turner, whom Jones and Beckett had captured. When Sparrow negotiates with Beckett in the extended version of the film, it is revealed that he once sailed the ''Black Pearl'' under Beckett's command, but deserted after refusing to carry slave cargo. The ''Black Pearl'' battles the ''Flying Dutchman'' during a maelstrom created by Calypso, during which Sparrow steals Jones's heart to become immortal. When Jones mortally wounds Turner, Sparrow instead chooses to save Turner by helping him stab the heart, which kills Jones and makes Turner the ''Dutchman''{{'}}s captain. Together, the ''Pearl'' and the ''Dutchman'' destroy Beckett's ship. At the end, Barbossa again commandeers the ''Pearl'' and Sao Feng's charts, stranding Sparrow and Gibbs in Tortuga.
 
===''On Stranger Tides''===
{{Main|Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides}}
 
After failing to find the Fountain of Youth, Sparrow arrives in London only to learn someone is gathering a crew by using his name. While searching for the imposter, he saves Gibbs from being hanged but is captured by the Royal Guards. They present him to King [[George II of Great Britain|George&nbsp;II]]. Sparrow is surprised to learn Captain Barbossa is now a privateer in the Royal Navy. Sparrow refuses to negotiate with them to locate the Fountain of Youth and escapes. Soon he crosses paths with his impersonator, an old flame named [[Angelica (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Angelica]] ([[Penélope Cruz]]). She [[Shanghaiing|shanghais]] him to serve aboard the ''[[Queen Anne's Revenge]]'', the ship captained by her father [[Blackbeard (Pirates of the Caribbean)|Blackbeard]] ([[Ian McShane]]), who forces Sparrow to search for the Fountain of Youth.<ref name="world"/>
 
Sparrow fails in his attempt to take over the ship in a mutiny against Blackbeard and save the naive Angelica from her evil father. After encountering dangerous mermaids, Barbossa, and the Spanish Navy, Sparrow locates the Fountain of Youth. When Angelica is wounded, he tricks Blackbeard into sacrificing himself to save her, and Angelica blames Sparrow for her father's death. Sparrow and Angelica acknowledge their feelings for one another, but Sparrow maroons Angelica on an island, believing she may avenge her father's death. Gibbs, meanwhile, has retrieved the shrunken ''Black Pearl'' from Blackbeard's collection of shrunken ships in the hope of restoring it to normal size. Though he has forfeited his opportunity for immortality, Sparrow settles for being famous as the one who found the Fountain of Youth. Following the film's end credits, Angelica's voodoo doll of Sparrow has drifted to the island that she is marooned on.<ref>{{cite press release |title=Production Begins on "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" in 3D |publisher=Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures |url=http://www.mouseinfo.com/forums/movies-television/92045-production-begins-pirates-caribbean-stranger-tides-3d.html |date=June 21, 2010 | accessdate=June 21, 2010 }}</ref>

==Concept and creation==
 
===Characters===
When writing the screenplay for ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'', [[Ted Elliott (screenwriter)|Ted Elliott]] and [[Terry Rossio]] envisioned Captain Jack Sparrow as a supporting character in the vein of [[Bugs Bunny]] and [[Groucho Marx]].<ref name="writers curse"/> The producers saw him as a young [[Burt Lancaster]].<ref name="depp gold">{{cite news | author=Sean Smith | title = A Pirate's Life |work=Newsweek | date = June 26, 2006 | url = http://www.newsweek.com/id/52442 | accessdate=May 30, 2007}}</ref> Director [[Gore Verbinski]] admitted, "The first film was a movie, and then Jack was put into it almost. He doesn't have the obligations of the plot in the same ways that the other characters have. He meanders his way through, and he kind of affects everybody else."<ref name="chest verb">{{cite news | author=Jeff Otto | title = IGN Interviews Gore Verbinski | publisher=IGN | date = June 28, 2006 | url = http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/714/714964p1.html | accessdate=May 31, 2007}}</ref> Sparrow represents an ethical pirate, with [[Captain Barbossa]] as his corrupt [[foil (literature)|foil]].<ref name="writers curse">{{cite video | people = [[Ted Elliott (screenwriter)|Ted Elliott]], [[Terry Rossio]], [[Stuart Beattie]], [[Jay Wolpert]] | title = Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl: Audio Commentary | type = DVD | publisher=Buena Vista |year=2003}}</ref> His true motives usually remain masked, and whether he is honorable or evil depends on the audience's perspective.<ref>{{cite web | title = Shipload of Characters Both New and Familiar | publisher=''Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest'' Production Notes | url = http://madeinatlantis.com/pirates/production/production3.htm | accessdate=May 31, 2007}}</ref> This acts as part of Will Turner's arc, in which Sparrow tells him a pirate can be a good man, like [[Bootstrap Bill Turner|his father]].<ref name="writers curse"/>
 
Following the success of ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'', the challenge to creating a sequel was, according to Verbinski, "You don't want just the Jack Sparrow movie. It's like having a garlic milkshake. He's the spice and you need a lot of straight men&nbsp;... Let's not give them too much Jack. It's like too much dessert or too much of a good thing."<ref name="chest verb"/> Although ''Dead Man's Chest'' was written to propel the trilogy's plot,<ref name="desperate"/> Sparrow's state-of-mind as he is pursued by Davy Jones becomes increasingly edgy, and the writers concocted the cannibal sequence to show that he was in danger whether on land or at sea. Sparrow is perplexed over his attraction to Elizabeth Swann, and attempts to justify it throughout the film.<ref name="writers chest"/>
 
''At World's End'' was meant to return it tonally to a [[character piece]]. Sparrow, in particular, is tinged with madness after extended solitary confinement in Davy Jones's Locker,<ref name="desperate">{{cite news | author=Ian Nathan | title = Pirates 3 | work=[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]] | pages = 88–92 | date = April 27, 2007}}</ref> and now desires immortality.<ref name="immortality">{{cite web | title = Characters (video) | publisher=Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Official site | url = http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/pirates/atworldsend/ | accessdate=May 31, 2007}}</ref> Sparrow struggles with what it takes to be a moral person,<ref name="success"/> after his honest streak caused his doom in the second film. This is mainly shown by his increasingly erratic behaviour and Jack's hallucinations which appeared to be simply his deranged mind in the beginning where dozens of "Jack Sparrows" appeared to crew the ship in his solitary exile, but later the hallucinations grew more important and there were mainly two "Jacks" constantly arguing about which path to follow: the immortality or the mortality. The last hallucination took place while Jack was imprisoned on the Dutchman where his honest streak won (possibly due to not liking his sea creature-like "future" which comedically dropped his brain and searched for it around the Brig).<ref>{{cite web | title = Chapter 3 – Revealing the True Nature of all the Characters |work=Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Production Notes | url = http://numberonestars.com/pirates3/production3.htm | accessdate=June 2, 2007}}</ref> By the end of ''At World's End'' Sparrow is sailing to the Fountain of Youth, an early concept for the second film.<ref>{{cite video | title = Charting the Return | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2006}}</ref> Rossio said in 2007 that a fourth film was possible,<ref>{{cite news | title = Exclusive interview: Terry Rossio | publisher=Moviehole | date = February 12, 2007 | url = http://www.moviehole.net/interviews/20070212_exclusive_interview_terry_ross.html | accessdate =February 12, 2007 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071011163402/http://www.moviehole.net/interviews/20070212_exclusive_interview_terry_ross.html |archivedate=October 11, 2007 }}</ref> and producer [[Jerry Bruckheimer]] expressed interest in a spin-off.<ref>{{cite news | title = Bruckheimer talks Pirates spin-off | work=Moviehole | date = May 10, 2007 | url = http://www.moviehole.net/news/20070510_bruckheimer_talks_pirates_spin.html |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070512134248/http://www.moviehole.net/news/20070510_bruckheimer_talks_pirates_spin.html |archivedate=May 12, 2007}}</ref> Gore Verbinski concurred that "all of the stories set in motion by the first film have been resolved.

''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides|On Stranger Tides]]'' was first announced on September 28, 2008, during a Disney event at the [[Kodak Theater]]. Verbinski did not return to direct the fourth installment and was replaced by [[Rob Marshall]]. The movie uses elements from [[Tim Powers]]' novel [[On Stranger Tides|of the same name]], particularly [[Blackbeard]] and the Fountain of Youth, but the film is not a straight adaptation of the novel.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/herocomplex/2009/09/johnny-depp-jack-sparrow-disney-costume-.html |title=Johnny Depp (in Captain Jack Sparrow costume) surprises Disney D23 Expo audience |work=Los Angeles Times |date=September 11, 2009 |accessdate=May 11, 2011}}</ref>
 
===Johnny Depp===
[[File:Johnny depp blurry CC-BY-cropped.jpg|thumb|left|Depp with a 'goatee' similar to the one seen in the films]]
Looking to do a [[family film]], Johnny Depp visited the [[Walt Disney Studios (Burbank)|Walt Disney Studios]] in 2001 when he heard of plans to adapt the [[Pirates of the Caribbean (theme park ride)|Pirates of the Caribbean]] ride into a film. Depp was excited by the possibility of reviving an old Hollywood genre,<ref name="depp gold"/> and found the script met his quirky sensibilities: the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' were not in search of treasure but trying to return it to lift a curse on them, and the traditional mutiny had already occurred.<ref name="depp commentary">{{cite video | people = [[Gore Verbinski]], [[Johnny Depp]] | title = Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl Audio Commentary | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2003}}</ref> Depp was cast on June 10, 2002.<ref>{{cite web | author=[[Greg Dean Schmitz]] | title = Greg's Previews – Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) |publisher=Yahoo! | url = http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&cf=prev&id=1808405416&gpt=ch| archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20050713090935/http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hp&cf=prev&id=1808405416&gpt=ch| archivedate = July 13, 2005| accessdate=August 9, 2008}}</ref> Producer Jerry Bruckheimer felt Depp would give the film an edge that could draw teenage and adult audiences despite Disney's reputation for soft children's fare.<ref name="talk"/>

Depp collaborated with costume designer Penny Rose on his character's appearance, handpicking a [[tricorne]] as Sparrow's signature leather hat; to make Sparrow's unique, the other characters did not wear leather hats. A rubber version was used for the scene in ''Dead Man's Chest'' when the hat floats on water.<ref name="hat">{{cite video | title = Jack's Hat | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2006}}</ref> Depp liked to stick to one costume, wearing one lightweight silk tweed frock coat throughout the series,<ref>{{cite video | title = Jack's Pirate Coat | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2006}}</ref> and he had to be coaxed out of wearing his boots for a version without a sole or heel in beach scenes.<ref>{{cite video | title = Jack's Boots | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2006}}</ref> The official line is that none of the costumes from ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'' survived, which allowed the opportunity to create tougher linen shirts for stunts.<ref>{{cite video | title = Jack's Shirt | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2006}}</ref> However, one remains which has been displayed in an exhibition of screen costumes in [[Worcester]], England.<ref>{{cite web | title = Starstruck: the Costumes | url = http://www.worcestercathedral.co.uk/media/List_of_costumes.pdf | accessdate=August 4, 2010}}</ref> It was a nightmare for Rose to track down the same makers of Sparrow's sash in Turkey.

Sparrow's weapons are genuine 18th century pieces: his sword dates to the 1740s and his pistol is from the 1760s. Both were made in London.<ref name="epic"/><ref>{{cite video | title = Jack's Sword | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2006}}</ref> Depp used two pistols on set, one of rubber.

The other two are props to which Depp gave backstories: the gold-and-black ring is stolen from a Spanish widow Sparrow seduced and the green dragon ring recalls his adventures in the Far East.<ref>{{cite video | title = Jack's Rings | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2006}}</ref> Among Depp's additional ideas was the necklace made of human toes that Sparrow wears as the Pelegosto prepare to eat him,<ref>{{cite video | title = Jack's Cannibal Toe Necklace | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2006}}</ref> and the sceptre was based on one a friend of Depp's owned.<ref>{{cite video | title = Jack's Cannibal Scepter | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2006}}</ref>
 
During the course of the trilogy, Sparrow undergoes physical transformations. In ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'', Sparrow curses himself to battle the undead Barbossa. Like all the actors playing the ''Black Pearl'' crew, Depp had to shoot scenes in costume as a reference for the animators, and his shots as a skeleton were shot again without him. Depp reprised the scene again on a [[motion capture]] stage.<ref name="epic"/> In ''At World's End'', Sparrow hallucinates a version of himself as a member of Davy Jones's crew, adhered to a wall and encrusted with barnacles. Verbinski oversaw that the design retained Sparrow's distinctive look,<ref>{{cite news | author=Scott Collura, Eric Moro | title = Designing At World's End | publisher=IGN | date = May 29, 2007 | url = http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/792/792383p3.html | accessdate=June 2, 2007}}</ref> and rejected initial designs which portrayed him as over 100 years old.<ref>{{cite news | author=[[Drew McWeeny]] | title = AICN Exclusive!

==Characterization==
According to screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, Sparrow is a [[trickster]] who uses wit and deceit to attain his goals, preferring to end disputes verbally instead of by force.<ref name="iconic">{{cite news | title = Pirates Dead Man's Chest: Depp's Iconic Role | publisher=Emanuel Levy | year = 2006 | url = http://www.emanuellevy.com/article.php?articleID=2688 | accessdate=May 31, 2007}}</ref> He walks with a slightly drunken swagger and has slurred speech and flailing hand gestures. Sparrow is shrewd, calculating, and eccentric. He fools Norrington and his crew to set sail on the royal ship ''Interceptor'', which compels the admiration of Lieutenant Groves as he concedes: "That's got to be the best pirate I have ever seen". Norrington himself acquiesces to this praise: "So it would seem", in sharp contrast to what he had previously proclaimed: "You are without doubt the worst pirate I have ever heard of". In the third film, while he leaves Beckett's ship stranded and makes off, Lieutenant Groves asks him: "Do you think he plans it all out, or just makes it up as he goes along?"<ref name="world"/>
 
Though a skilled swordsman, Sparrow prefers to use his superior intelligence during combat, exploiting his environment to turn the tables on his foes, reasoning "Why fight when you can negotiate?" He uses strategies of non-violent negotiation and turning his enemies against each other.<ref name="chest"/> He invokes parleys and tempts his enemies away from their murderous intentions, encouraging them to see the bigger picture, as he does when he persuades Barbossa to delay returning to mortal form so he can battle the Royal Navy.<ref name="curse"/> He often uses complex wordplay and vocabulary to confound his enemies,<ref name="curse"/><ref name="chest"/> and it is suggested that his pacifism may be one reason Barbossa and the crew of the ''Black Pearl'' mutinied.<ref name="curse"/>

The character is portrayed as having created, or at least contributed to, his own reputation. When Gibbs tells Will that Sparrow escaped from a desert island by strapping two sea turtles together, Sparrow embellishes the story by claiming the rope was made from hair from his own back, while in reality, Sparrow escaped the island by bartering with rum traders. The video game ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow]]'' bases itself on these [[tall tale]]s, including the sacking of [[Nassau, Bahamas|Nassau]] port without firing a shot.<ref name="curse"/> Depp has likened pirates to rock stars in that their fame preceded them.<ref name="iconic"/> Sparrow insists on being addressed as "Captain"<ref name="curse"/> and often gives the farewell, "This is the day you will always remember as the day that you ''almost'' caught Captain Jack Sparrow!" which is sometimes humorously cut off.<ref name="curse"/><ref name="chest"/> When Norrington accuses him of being the worst pirate he has ever heard of, Sparrow replies, "But you ''have'' heard of me."<ref name="curse"/> In a deleted scene from ''The Curse of the Black Pearl'' Sparrow ponders being "the immortal Captain Jack Sparrow",<ref>{{cite video | title = The Immortal Captain Jack | type = DVD | publisher=[[Buena Vista (Walt Disney Company)|Buena Vista]] |year=2003}}</ref> and during ''At World's End'' he again is interested in immortality, although his father, Captain Teague, warns it can be a terrible curse. Sparrow ponders being "Captain Jack Sparrow, the last pirate," as the East India Trading Company purges piracy.<ref name="world"/>
 
Despite his many heroics, Sparrow is a pirate and a morally ambiguous character.<ref name="success">{{cite web | title = Success Can Be a Tough Taskmaster |work=Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Production Notes | url = http://numberonestars.com/pirates3/production1.htm | accessdate=May 31, 2007}}</ref> When agreeing to trade 100 souls, including Will, to Davy Jones in exchange for his freedom, Jones asks Sparrow whether he can, "condemn an innocent man—a ''friend''—to a lifetime of servitude in your name while you roam free?" After a hesitation Sparrow merrily replies, "Yep! I'm good with it!"<ref name="chest"/> He carelessly runs up debts with [[Anamaria]],<ref name="curse"/> Davy Jones, and the other pirate lords.<ref name="world"/> Sao Feng, pirate lord of [[Singapore]], is particularly hateful towards him.<ref name="world"/> In a cowardly moment, Sparrow abandons his crew during the Kraken's attack, but underlying loyalty and morality compel him to return and save them.<ref>''Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest'' comic book adaptation, [[Disney Adventures]], 2006</ref> Sparrow claims to be a man of his word,<ref name="curse"/> and expresses surprise that people doubt his truthfulness;<ref name="chest"/> there is no murder on his criminal record.<ref name="crimes"/><ref name="curse"/>
 
Depp partly based the character on [[Pepé Le Pew]], a [[Promiscuity#Male promiscuity|womanizing]] skunk from ''[[Looney Tunes]]''.<ref name="depp gold"/> Sparrow claims to have a "tremendous intuitive sense of the female creature,"<ref name="chest"/> although his conquests are often left with a sour memory of him.

==Impact on pop culture==
 
When ''Dead Man's Chest'' grossed over {{Nowrap|$1 billion}} worldwide, Ian Nathan attributed this to Sparrow's popularity: "''Pirates'', the franchise, only had to turn up.
