Shortly afterwards, Jack Sparrow became one of the nine Pirate Lords of the Brethren Court, with Sparrow himself being the new Lord of the Caribbean Sea. After striking a bargain with the fearsome Davy Jones, the ghastly captain of the ghostly Flying Dutchman, in which his beloved vessel was raised from the depths, Jack had the Wicked Wench rechristened as the Black Pearl and began the pirate life anew. However, Beckett's men managed to find Jack and branded him as a pirate, irrevocably returning Sparrow to a life of piracy, while the Wench was set aflame and sunk. When Beckett ordered him to transport a cargo of human slaves to the Bahamas, promising to sell him the Wench for just one shilling, Sparrow chose to liberate them instead and stole the Wench from Beckett. As Beckett's employee, Sparrow searched for the mystical island of Kerma and its treasure, until he decided to betray Beckett and keep the island and its inhabitants safe from Beckett and his slave traders. After five years of faithful service, he was given command of the Wicked Wench, a ship owned by Cutler Beckett, the EITC Director for West Africa. A few years after his teenage adventures, an encounter with the infamous rogue pirates forced Jack to abandon the pirate life and take employment in the East India Trading Company. Young Jack first sailed on the Barnacle with a ragtag crew on a quest to locate and procure the legendary Sword of Cortés. Before he became known as "Captain Jack Sparrow" he was simply known as Jack Sparrow, a teenage stowaway who, even then, had a desire for adventure. The son of Captain Edward Teague, Jack was born on a pirate ship in a typhoon. Captain Jack's first love was the sea, his second, his beloved ship the Black Pearl. Whether by cause or accident was a matter of debate, but the results were the same and always different. He was the quickest to seize the moment and make it his own. A captain of equally dubious morality and sobriety, a master of self-promotion and self-interest, Jack fought a constant and losing battle with his own best tendencies while living a pirate's life. Jack Sparrow was a legendary pirate of the Seven Seas, and the irreverent trickster of the Caribbean. " Gentlemen, m'lady.you will always remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!" ―Jack Sparrow
