Morey was a crew member aboard the Flying Dutchman, serving under Captain Davy Jones around the time Lord Cutler Beckett assumed control of the Flying Dutchman.
Biography[]
At some unknown point in his life, Morey found himself in servitude aboard the Flying Dutchman under Captain Davy Jones, and over time, Morey had assimilated various aquatic flora and fauna into his body. The most prominent of these transformations was that his head had turned into that of a moray eel. He fought against the crew of the Empress, engulfing one of the pirates' heads with his powerful jaws, and rocking it from side to side. The gaping hole that was once Morey's neck, seems to be a likeness to the ruffs worn during the 1500s. He was also Davy Jones's elite crewman. Morey was known to sailors as the most ruthless crewmember, never leaving any survivors. Morey was seen engulfing a Chinese pirate's face aboard the Empress.[1]
Later, Morey participated in the battle between the Flying Dutchman and the Black Pearl in a maelstrom. He managed to board the Pearl, where he dueled the ruthless pirate captain Hector Barbossa, but the ferocious captain of the Black Pearl stabbed Jelly's sword through Urchin into Morey. Morey later successfully killed a Chinese pirate, then went on to fight Captain Barbossa, engaging him in a sword fight. Morey tried to engulf Barbossa's face, but the famed captain beheaded him and stabbed him in the back.[1]
Behind the scenes[]
Early concept art for Morey for the At World's End video game, depicted here as a woman.
Morey first appeared in the video game adaptation of the 2007 film Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.[3][1] An uncredited actor or stunt performer portrayed Morey in the film.[1] The name Morey was first revealed in behind-the-scenes interviews with Industrial Light & Magic.[4][5] Crash McCreery incorrectly referred to Morey as "sea slug face" in the behind-the-scenes documentary Masters of Design.[6]
The CGI model originally used for the eel peeking out of Quittance's stomach was combined with the legs from another creature to create the aptly named Morey. Quittance's eel became Morey's head.[4][5]
In the At World's End video game, Morey appeared under the name "Electric Arm". As it shows, he is a humanoid figure with an eel's tail and head as replacements for the somewhat missing arm and head. He is the third boss of the game and the boss for the "Pearl vs Dutchman" level, but Will Turner ultimately manages to kill him. In early concept art for the game, Electric Arm was depicted as female.[3]

- ↑ James "Jim" Carson's calendar of Henry Turner's waiting for Will Turner's return from Dead Men Tell No Tales shows that Will Turner's first visit to his family after ten years of captaining the Flying Dutchman, which is shown in the after credits scene of At World's End, occurred in August 1739, which means the Battle of Calypso's maelstrom and Jones' death occurred in August 1729.
