Information AboutWill Turner |
|
Will is the son and only child of the pirate "Bootstrap Bill" Turner . He bears a great resemblance to his father, both in appearance and in physical ability. Will is an expert Blacksmith (although his oft-drunk master tends to get most of the credit) and practices with his blades every day for three hours. He is able to hold his own in combat against other experienced fighters, like Captain Jack Sparrow (though thwarted by the pirate's cheating). Will is captivated by the Governor's beautiful daughter, Miss Elizabeth Swann , but reluctant to reveal his feelings towards her. Bootstrap was a crew member on the ''Black Pearl'' under Captain Jack Sparrow 's command. When the crew mutinied under First Mate Barbossa 's leadership, Bootstrap objected to the mutiny and stated that the crew deserved to be cursed. Bootstrap sent away a piece of the Aztec gold to Will so that the crew would remain cursed forever. When Captain Barbossa learned of this, he had Bootstrap tied to a cannon (ironically, by his bootstraps) and thrown overboard. Unfortunately for him, it was afterward that Barbossa learned Turner blood would be necessary to break the Aztec curse on the gold. With Bootstrap Bill lost to the deep, Will is the last remaining source of the Turner blood needed to break the curse.
