Triton

Triton was a mythological Greek god and generally the son of the god of the sea, Poseidon, and Amphitrite, goddess of the sea. He wielded a sword which had supernatural powers of bringing life to the inanimate.

Behind the Scenes

 * Triton doesn't personally appear in any element of the Pirates of the Caribbean as of now, but in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, his sword was possessed by the pirate captain Blackbeard, who frequently uses its supernatural powers in his battles.
 * Triton's sword was said to be forged in Atlantis
 * It is unclear what happened to the god, the duration of his lifetime, or even how Blackbeard was in possession of the sword
 * Triton's name and image came to be associated with a class of merman-like creatures, the Tritons (Τρίτωνες), which could be male or female, and usually formed the escort of marine divinities.
