Quartermaster (zombie)

"The Quartermaster sees things before they happen. He has foreseen my death. And so the fates have spoken. The threads of destiny woven."

- Blackbeard

Quartermaster was a pirate who served as the quartermaster aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, under the command of Blackbeard.

Early life
It is unknown how the Quartermaster became part of Blackbeard's crew or how he even became a zombie. What is known, however, is that the Quartermaster, along with the other zombie crewmen, would have began sailing with Blackbeard aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge long before the Quest for the Fountain of Youth.

When he was zombiefied by Blackbeard, the Quartermaster gained a second sight, thereby gaining the ability to see things before they happen. He was never wrong in his predictions. He was the one who predicted Blackbeard's death in the hands of a one-legged man.

Quest for the Fountain of Youth
"Oi. If I jump, will I survive?" "...The doll. [ Angelica gives him the doll, he starts chanting, and the Quartermaster throws it and Jack screams as it falls] ...Yes, now you will survive."

- Jack Sparrow and the Quartermaster

Shortly after Jack Sparrow's escape from St. James's Palace, Jack and Angelica stopped to take some rest on the shore of the River Thames. Jack was then drugged by the Quartermaster and brought aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge.

During most of the journey, the Quartermaster stayed at the helm. During the mutiny aboard the Revenge, the Quartermaster and Jack Sparrow fought for a brief moment, but the Quartermaster was kicked by Sparrow and bounded by Sparrow's comrades. Victory ultimately came to the Quartermaster's side when Blackbeard himself intervened. After the battle, the Quartermaster forcibly brought Jack to Blackbeard's cabin for a conversation.

Behind the Scenes
"The Quartermaster. The man with no eyes. He's known as eleri ipin, witness of fate. He sees things happen before they happen. He's never wrong." "I can do that too, if you don’t count women, weather, and other things that are hard to predict."
