About Hector Barbossa

Captain Hector Barbossa is a fictional character of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, depicted by Geoffrey Rush and appearing in all five films in the series. Barbossa debuted in The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) as the captain of the Black Pearl and a cursed undead skeleton, where he dies at the end of the film. However, the character is revealed to have been resurrected by Tia Dalma by the end of Dead Man's Chest, and has since appeared in an anti-heroic role.
Captain Barbossa was also one of the nine Pirate Lords in At World's End (2007), a privateer in service to King George II and the British Navy while also seeking revenge against Blackbeard in On Stranger Tides (2011), as well as a rich rogue and influential leader of a prosperous pirate empire and fleet in Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017).
Throughout the series, Barbossa has been conceptualized as a "dark trickster" and the evil counterpart of Captain Jack Sparrow. In The Curse of the Black Pearl, it was revealed he was once the first mate of Jack, before he eventually betrayed him and led a mutiny to take the Black Pearl, becoming Jack's sworn enemy. However, since At World's End, he and Jack have let go of their grudge and became allies.
Ever since his appearance, Barbossa has received a highly positive reception by critics, with praise towards Rush's performance and his interesting rivalry and friendship with Jack.
