―Will Turner and Shrimper's brother

This man was the brother of a shrimper who spoke French. Aboard their shrimp boat, the shrimper and his brother operated somewhere around the island of Tortuga and also traded spice for "long pork". As Will Turner found a ship with black sails that was careened at Pelegosto Island, the Shrimper gave his brother a nod as Will climbed into his tiny rowboat. But halfway to the beach, the brother stopped rowing, refusing to bring Will the remainder of the journey, saying that it was too dangerous. Both the shrimper and his brother were likely aware of the cannibalistic nature of the island's inhabitants. The Shrimper's Brother told Will "Bon voyage, monsieur!" and let him jump out of the boat before turning around.
