"Bootstrap Bill" Turner

From Pirates of the Caribbean Online Wiki

William "Bootstrap Bill" Turner, Sr. is the ill-fated father of Will Turner.

Bill was once a crewman of the Black Pearl, until after Captain Jack Sparrow was marooned on Rumrunner's Isle. Expressing his feelings about the incident to new captain Hector Barbossa, Bill found himself being ejected overboard.

Barbossa tied Bill to a cannonball and fired him off the deck and into the depths. But, Turner didn't die.

He was found by Davy Jones, who offered the doomed sailor a tour aboard The Flying Dutchman to stave off death.

After serving for years, Bill has become more and more part of the ship and forgot the life he left behind. Only the thoughts of Will kept him going.
