Ratlin

[[File:Concept_art_Ratlin.jpg

Ratlin was a crew member serving aboard the Flying Dutchman under the command of Davy Jones around the time of the search for the Dead Man's Chest.

The crew of the Dutchman were known to gradually take on characteristics of sea creatures over time, though in Ratlin's case, it was the ship itself that became part of his biology. Rope and sailcloth became fused into his face.

Ratlin was one of the four most trusted mates aboard the Flying Dutchman, along with Maccus, Penrod, and Angler. Ratlin were aboard the wreck, where he attacked Will turner with the other crewmembers. Ratlin was one of the crewers who manned the Kraken Hammer prior to the attack on the Edinburgh Trader, and was still onboard when the East India Trading Company assumed control of Davy Jones, his ship and its crew. He fought in the battle around Calypso's maelstrom and survived.
