Biography[]
- "By the way...watch out for my brother, El Grande...he's Pequeño's right hand man, and he's looking for you."
- ―Marty to Jack Sparrow
In a made up story told to Alberto Chaves while facing the gallows about how he and Will assembled a crew in Tortuga, El Grande was claimed by Jack Sparrow to live in Tortuga and was apparently known to follow his master's every whim. When Jack Sparrow arrived in Tortuga in order to assemble a crew, he was confronted by Pequeno and broke his leg. El Grande was dispatched to destroy the pirate and his associate Will Turner, but was defeated by his own bombs.
Later, Pequeno was claimed by Jack Sparrow to have attempted to blow up the HMS Interceptor but was foiled by the pirates and again dispatched El Grande to find them. He was defeated when his master collapsed on top of him.
Equipment and skills[]
According to Jack Sparrow, El Grande was highly skilled with bombs and explosives, using them to a high degree during his brief fight with Jack Sparrow and Will Turner.
Behind the scenes[]
Concept art of El Grande.
- El Grande was portrayed by Keith Ferguson in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow.
- The term "El Grande" translates literally into "The Big One" in Spanish.
- Since El Grande only appears in Jack's made up story about how he and Will assembled a crew in Tortuga, he is likely made up and never really existed.
