Cutler Beckett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lord Cutler Beckett, played by Tom Hollander, is an antagonist in the movies Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean: At Worlds End. He works for the East India Trading Company and he was sent to Port Royal to capture pirate Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), although he has a Letter of Marque with which to recuit Sparrow as a privateer. He also intends to arrest the former Commodore James Norrington (Jack Davenport), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) and Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) for aiding Jack's escape. However, his wider motivation is a desire to get the heart of Davy Jones (Bill Nighy), ruler of the ocean depths and captain of The Flying Dutchman.
In Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Beckett alludes to having had a "run in" with Captain Jack Sparrow while gazing upon the red-hot end of a branding iron in the shape of a "P". This implies that it was Beckett who branded Captain Sparrow, apparently some years previous to the events of the movies. He also appears to have some history with Weatherby Swann which dates back to before they reached their current ranks.
