He is the captain of a ghostly and feared ship featured in other nautical lore, The Flying Dutchman. In the movie, Captain Jack Sparrow owes a debt to Davy Jones for raising the Black Pearl from the depths for thirteen years in return for his soul, and the plot of the movie is his race to pay it off or else forfeit his soul for a hundred years. Davy Jones also controls the loyalties of "Bootstrap Bill" Turner, whose soul he was given in exchange for saving Bootstrap. Like his crew, Davy Jones' body is mixed with features of various aquatic fauna, with cephalopod facial features and a crustacean-style claw for his left arm, and the right leg of a crab (resembling a pegleg). In addition to his moustached face, depicted by multiple tentacles, he "breathes" through siphons at the sides of his face. He also possesses the power to summon the Kraken and speaks with a clearly distinguishable Scottish accent. He would appear to have additional powers, numbering among them a strange sort of teleportation.

Davy Jones, the supernatural ruler of the seas, hid away an item called the Dead Man's Chest. This chest is that which Captain Jack Sparrow must find as leverage in exchange for his soul. The Dead Man's Chest holds Davy Jones' heart, which he carved from his body because of the loss of his one true love. This, in turn, made Jones dedicate himself to inflicting as much cruelty and pain to others (even his crew) as possible. Davy Jones is practically invincible as long as his heart is not destroyed. Should Davy Jones die, all those who traded their souls to him and joined his crew would be free and restored to their original forms. Despite Jones' determination to cause pain and suffering, he appears to have a soft spot when love is concerned. For example, when Jack tells him of Will Turner's love for Elizabeth, Jones' expression softens noticeably. Some fans have even spotted what may be tears in his eyes.

"Damn you, Jack Sparrow..."

"Do you fear death? Do you fear that dark abyss? All your deeds lay bare, all your sins punished? "

"I *am* the sea."

"Let no joyful voice be heard! Let no man look up at the sky with hope! And let this day be cursed by we who ready to wake... the Kraken!"

"Life is cruel. Why should the afterlife be any different? "
