Maccus

"You trust us to act in your stead?" "I trust you to know what awaits you, should you fail!"

- Maccus and Davy Jones

Maccus served as First Mate aboard the Flying Dutchman under Davy Jones' command.

Biography
As with other members of Jones' crew, over time Maccus took on characteristics of the sea flora and fauna they resided amongst; most notably, his scarred head had the appearance of that of a hammerhead shark, and had sharp, fang-like teeth much like those of a shark; his lips and chin are stained red, presumably by blood caused by him accidentally biting his tongue as he transformed. He has three eyes- two on either side of his head, and one in front, with the other gone, having been migrating across his face to the side of his head. Maccus' body was covered in coral, barnacles and starfish, and his left forearm and hand was encased in a lobster-shell gauntlet. Several pairs of crab legs grew out of his back.

Maccus was one of the most trusted members of the crew, and seemed to share Jones' penchant for causing pain and destruction. When Jones ordered his crew to summon the Kraken to destroy the Black Pearl, Maccus gave the command with an evil, leering smile. He was also an expert swordsman, as evidenced during the fight for the Dead Man's Chest on Isla Cruces. Here, Maccus battled the trio of Elizabeth Swann, Pintel and Ragetti, fighting them into a corner before they were rescued by William Turner and James Norrington. His main weapon of choice seems to be a single handed axe ( which resembles a tomahawk), due to the cause of seing Maccus weilding one in every battle.

Maccus continued to serve on the Dutchman during the reign of Lord Cutler Beckett. During the battle between the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman in the maelstrom, Jack the monkey attacked Maccus, causing him to fall off the ship and into the maelstrom. He survived, however, and returned to his human form when William Turner became captain of the ship.
