Jolly Roger

Jolly Roger is a powerful undead pirate and the main villain of Pirates of the Caribbean Online.

Curse into the Undead
Not much is known about Jolly Roger's pirate career, except that he at one point lost his left leg, which he replaced with a peg leg, and his right hand. However he still became the captain of the enormous war frigate, the Harkaway. Some time later, Jolly Roger was competing with Jack Sparrow for a place on the Brethren Court. When Sparrow got the spot, Roger became extremely jealous, since he believed that he deserved the spot more. To get back at Sparrow, Jolly Roger plotted with a voodoo witch doctor named Amo Dorsi to draw him into a poker game, where Roger would be able to steal his Piece of Eight, thus making him the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean. But when the game turned in Sparrow's favor, Jolly Roger believed that Dorsi had betrayed him and shot him. With his last breath, the witch doctor cursed Roger, transforming him into something beyond human. As Dorsi's body turned to dust, his great voodoo powers were passed onto Jolly Roger. Now transformed into the undead, he needed to feed on human souls for eternity.

Reign of Terror
Jolly Roger began terrorizing the Caribbean, assaulting ships and ports. The Royal Navy were unable to stop him and Governor Swann offered a 1000 doubloon reward to anyone who could bring down the undead pirate lord and his officers and crew, though this didn't help. Jolly Roger would also accost pirates, threatening them with death to make them spread the word of his power and give Jack Sparrow a message: Jolly Roger was seeking his vengeance. The undead pirate now wanted to not only become a Pirate Lord, but to kill Jack Sparrow and rule the Caribbean. Jolly Roger's search for Sparrow lasted years, but he was unsuccessful and began raising sunken ships and skeleton pirates with his powers, creating a huge fleet of the dead that could spread his power over the Caribbean and bring him Sparrow's head.

War of the Carribean
However Jolly Roger discovered a force capable of threatening his plans, the East India Trading Company, lead by .Lord Cutler Beckett. Knowing that they were a powerful enemy, the undead pirate began attacking the EITC. During one such attack, Jolly Roger found out that Jack Sparrow was in the area and not wanting him to escape, he paid a captain named Bo Beck to trick Sparrow into accepting a ride on his ship, where Jolly Roger could capture him. However Jack paid him double to take another passenger, allowing him to escape. When Roger appeared on Bo Beck's boat and found that he had let Sparrow go, he was needless to say not pleased. He killed Beck and transformed him into one of his undead minions, then forced his passenger to walk the plank. The Harkaway then sent Beck's boat to the bottom of the sea. Later Jolly Roger cast a spell that caused any pirate caught in the light of the moon to be transformed into one of the undead, a curse then called the Curse of the Muertos Moon. It was eventually lifted, but it is unknown how, though rumors suggest that Jack Sparrow had something to do with it. It is unknown if the curse is truly gone. Jolly Roger later hired a group of pirates to do his dirty work for him and they destroyed the magical protection on the Caribbean's Islands, allowing him to invade Port Royal, Tortuga, and Padres del Fuego. Jolly Roger later began searching for the mythical lost weapons of El Patron, which Spanish Conquistadores had left in the Caribbean centuries before.
