Biography[]
Not much is known of this man's life, other than he was a man who was half-blind, toothless, and became a fisherman with a small longboat. At some point prior to 1729, the fisherman heard that Captain Jack Sparrow was "drunk with a smile on his face" in Singapore. Following Lord Cutler Beckett's arrival in Port Royal, the fisherman was tying a lure on a beach when he was the second known person approached by Will Turner regarding the whereabouts of Jack Sparrow, a search which started in various island ports in or near Tortuga and with a thousand tales told about Sparrow's whereabouts.[1] The half-blind fisherman nodded with a toothless grin, that Jack Sparrow would turn up in Singapore.[2]
