Theodore Groves

"That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen."

- Groves on Captain Jack Sparrow

Groves was a Lieutenant serving with the Royal Navy forces stationed at Port Royal, under the command of Commodore James Norrington.

It was Lieutenant Groves who alerted Commodore Norrington to Jack Sparrow's attempt to commandeer the HMS Dauntless from the Port Royal harbor during Will Turner's quest to rescue Elizabeth Swann. Groves accompained Norrington as he and his marines boarded the Dauntless, only to watch on helplessly as Sparrow and Turner jumped ship and fled in the HMS Interceptor. This daring maneuver impressed Groves, who voiced his admiration of Sparrow. Norrington, however, did not share the sentiment.

Groves later fought against Hector Barbossa's undead pirates aboard the Dauntless at Isla de Muerta. He survived the battle, and remained in service with the Royal Navy after Lord Cutler Beckett took control of Port Royal.
