"No, no, no, you don't understand, mate. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. The original. The only!" "Scrum. Pleasure's all mine. Now keep moving."

- Jack Sparrow and Scrum

Scrum was a Machiavellian pirate in the Caribbean.

Early life
Not much is known about Scrum's past, but it is known that he regularly goes to the Captain's Daughter Inn to tell tales of bravery. Scrum also learned how to play the mandola during his pirate career. He later joined the crew of the Queen Anne's Revenge, under the command of Blackbeard and Angelica. Scrum later became a right-hand man to Angelica.

During the search for the Fountain of Youth, Scrum helped Angelica with her scheme of luring Jack Sparrow where she could force him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. Scrum later woke Jack up from a hammock to scrub the Queen Anne's Revenge ' s deck. While doing their duties, Scrum befriended Jack aboard while showing him the ropes aboard the Revenge. He later participated in Jack's mutiny aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. In the fight, Scrum dueled with the Quartermaster. After their seeming victory, Blackbeard appeared out of his cabin, in which he hangs all of the crewmen with the Revenge's rigging, including Scrum and another pirate who were knocked together at their backs while being tied up.

Personality and Traits
Scrum is said to have half a right eye, the other half being made of glass. He also has a huge scar around his face near the half-glass eye. He is also known to be a pirate that has cheery spirits and slow wits. Scrum also is talented in playing stringed instruments, such as the mandola. In his neck, Scrum wears a necklace that includes a whistle and a lucky shark's tooth.

Behind the Scenes
Although very brave at times, he can be very stupid. When planning the mutiny with Jack, he was the first to go off and start fighting without anyone following. He was also very cowardly, as shown from Tamara showing her mermaid form before he kissed her. When coming against Jack Sparrow, he said that he was more afraid of Angelica more than of him before dueling with him.
 * Stephen Graham thought of his character, Scrum, as a proper, loveable Cockney rogue. He also said that he was going to play him as a Scouser, but decided against it because he didn’t think Americans would be able to understand the accent. He also revealed that Scrum will be the right hand man of Angelica, but that "he'll go anywhere there's a pound note and a job involved".
