Armando Salazar

"Jack Sparrow. Do you know this pirate?" "Only by name." "Find Sparrow for me, and relay a message from Capitán Salazar, and tell him... Death will come straight for him. Will you say that to him? Please?"

- Salazar and Henry

Armando Salazar was a ghost capitán who operated from the 18th century. Currently not much is known about him, except that he commanded the ghost ship The Silent Mary and was an old nemesis to Jack Sparrow in his teenage years. At some point, Salazar would become imprisoned in the Devil's Triangle. He would later escape, determined to find the legendary Trident of Poseidon in order to exterminate all pirates in the world and have his vengeance on Jack.

Behind the scenes

 * Captain Salazar will be portrayed by Javier Bardem in Dead Men Tell No Tales.
 * Before officially casting Javier Bardem for Dead Men Tell No Tales, Christoph Waltz was rumored to be the original choice for the role. At that time, the character was referred to as "Captain John Brand"; a feared pirate hunter who returned from the dead as a ghost to kill Jack Sparrow whom he held responsible for the death of his brother Eric. Rumors claim that the name "Brand" was changed to "Salazar" to sound more Mediterranean to accompany Javier Bardem's Spanish descent.
 * Salazar is the first antagonist character in the series to be Spanish.
