Lieutenant Lesaro, also known as Mr. Lesaro, is a major antagonist in the 2017 live action film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
He is the personal assistant and first mate, thanks to being the most loyal member of the Crew, of Capitán Armando Salazar of the Silent Mary. Lesaro aids him on his mission to wipe out all pirates in the entire world via the powerful Trident of Poseidon, and kill Jack Sparrow for cursing the entire crew.
Lesaro was a lieutenant of the Spanish Royal Navy that served on the Silent Mary under the command of King Ferdinand VI. Fiercely loyal to his captain, Lesaro followed Salazar on his numerous pirate-hunting expeditions. Even after a battle against ten pirate ships, he informed his captain of the surrender of the pirates. Salazar coldly ordered their deaths regardless: to which which Lesaro reluctantly obliges and aids in shooting and killing them.
It wasn't until they went sailing after a young pirate named Jack Sparrow, because of whom Salazar didn't want to miss out on killing any pirates, that he would meet his match. Having taken up the mantle as captain of the ship after the previous one was killed by Salazar's cannon fire and taunting Salazar to convince him to follow them, Salazar lead his crew in pursuing them, but just as Jack planned, he lured them into the currents of the Devil's Triangle's waters, where their ship was mangled by rocks. This causes the powder stored within the ship to ignite and consume the ship with an unrelenting fire, seemingly killing Salazar, Lesaro, and the entire crew.
However, it turns out that the crew's bodies begun to sink to the bottom of the sea and were suddenly struck by streaks of eerie red light, resurrecting them as the undead by the mysterious supernatural powers of the Triangle, where they were currently trapped. Unable to escape from the Triangle, Salazar, Lesaro and his undead crew of spent over 20 years in a cave, plotting their revenge on Jack Sparrow.
Escape from the Devil's Triangle[]
25 years after their imprisonment in the Devil's Triangle, Salazar and his crew spotted the Monarch, a British Royal Navy warship, entering their cave. As the Monarch came to a halt, Salazar, Lesaro and the crew ran across the water, boarded the ship and launched a surprise attack. Due to their ghostly powers, they easily slaughtered all the British soldiers onboard.
With the battle effectively over, Salazar walked below deck finding a single young sailor named Henry Turner locked in the brig. Salazar allows Henry to escape to find Sparrow and give him a message about death coming straight for him.
Return for Revenge[]
After Jack ends up trading his prized compass away on a whim for some rum, the Devil's Triangle sinks into the sea, which allows Salazar, Lesaro and the crew to finally escape, steering the Silent Mary into the open sea for the first time in years. Though the ship was now nothing but a wreck, it was kept afloat due to magic. As such, Lesaro aids Salazar in his next plan to find the legendary Trident of Poseidon, the mythical artifact which would give them and their crew absolute control over the seas so they could continue their mission and kill all the pirates in the world, starting with Jack Sparrow.
Freed from the Devil's Triangle, Lesaro helps out in the crew's anti-piracy campaign by encountering a pirate fleet commanded by Hector Barbossa, the Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea. Without hesitation, they quickly attacked and destroyed three of its ships, the Jonty Lark, the Golden Pheasant and the Rising Phoenix.
Though the rest of the fleet managed to escape, the message the undead Spaniards sent was clear - the dead have taken command of the sea. Some time later, the Silent Mary encountered the Queen Anne's Revenge, Barbossa's flagship. As the Silent Mary approached the Revenge, Salazar and his crew used their magical powers to bend the bow of their ship backwards, opening the ship's hull like the jaws of a giant beast right in front of the pirate vessel, leaving the pirate crew stunned and unable to react. However, before they could destroy the ship, Barbossa manages to convince Salazar, if just barely, to allow him some time to lead him to Jack in return for sparing him and his crew, though not before Salazar has his men kill a considerable number of Barbossa's out of spite.
Final Battle and Death[]
Later on, Salazar and his crew spot Jack on another ship called the Dying Gull and attempt to attack. However, Jack, along with Henry Turner and Carina Smyth (who is later revealed to be be Barbossa's daughter), escapes on a lifeboat to a small island. Salazar, Lesaro and the men follow the three to the island, but they soon realize that they can't enter on dry land, as evidenced when one of the crewmembers instantly turned into dust after setting foot on dry sand. Despite this, Barbossa manages to catch up to Jack and the others, but decides to help them as he wants to use the Trident to destroy Salazar and his men for good.
Using an old map (which Carina found) that marks the location of the Trident, Jack and his gang sail to a spot called Black rock Island with the Black Pearl, where they finally spot the Trident. However, this caused the ocean to create a huge rift, which Salazar and his crew use to follow them to it, resulting in a battle between Jack and Salazar while the crew watches. However, Henry destroys the Trident to end all curses that roam the seas during the battle, causing Salazar and his men (including Lesaro) to turn back into normal people. This also causes the ocean rift to finally close, as Barbossa reels in Jack, Henry and Carina to safety by using the Black Pearl's anchor, Salazar and his crew make a run for it, but only Salazar and two other crewmen who followed him closely manage to cling to it, as the rest of the other crew, including Lesaro, beg for their captain's help, but blinded by vengeance, Salazar forgets them as the ocean closes, leaving Lesaro and the rest of the crew to drown to their deaths.
Personality[]
Lesaro is an extremely loyal and steadfast individual for Salazar, yet he knows that Salazar has become obsessed with the idea of revenge, and he knows that obsession may lead to their undoing. Despite the fact he is loyal to Salazar, he does not show the same cruel and ruthless personality as his Captain; in fact, Lesaro shows concern at certain times, especially when Salazar is about to possess Henry in order to step on land. Lesaro tells him he does not think it is a good idea because once he has possessed the living, his spirit will be trapped in that body forever. He is also slightly empathetic and vicarious for the pirates who are in the water, but after given the command by his Captain, Lesaro reluctantly followed his orders and proceeded with carrying out the order, causing the deaths of the pleading pirates.
Trivia[]
Lesaro is the only member of the crew to have an eyepatch.
