Artisan

The Cartographer was employed by the East India Trading Company to paint a map of the world in Lord Cutler Beckett's office when he set up residency in Port Royal.

The man was required to make daily changes to the map as ships brought reports of the company's growing power and new discoveries across the Seven Seas. As of Beckett's deal with William Turner, the countries of the map were filled in, though most ports and towns remained blank. By the time Beckett assumed control of the Flying Dutchman, the map had been completed. The fate of its artisan remains unknown.

Behind the scenes
In the original screenplay draft by Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, Joshamee Gibbs states that Jack Sparrow was the Cartographer's apprentice during Sparrow's employment with the East India Company.
