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's command. 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. His body was covered in coral, barnacles and starfish, and his forearms and hands were encased in lobster-shell gauntlets.

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 Will Turner and James Norrington.
