Captain Teague is the father of Captain Jack Sparrow. Not much is known about him other
than he was once the Pirate Lord of Madagascar but resigned to become the
Keeper of the
Code
. He firmly believes the Pirate Code is law and will shoot any man who says otherwise.
He is very well feared, if not respected, amongst the Pirate Lords, and all fall silent whenever
his name is called to bring forth
the Code. The Keeper of the Code may only be summoned
when a Pirate Lord demands it.

He is rumored to be one of the true immortals, having found the secret to immortality on one of
his adventures. His crew is comprised of only older pirates who are also rumored to be
immortal.

When not fulfilling the duties of the
Keeper of the Code Teague can be found plucking and
strumming away on his favorite guitar, and despite his gruff demeanor, Teague has been heard
affectionately calling his son "Jackie."

Pirate History:
The Pirate's Code:
In the second half of the 17th century, buccaneers began operating under a set of rules variously called the Chasse-Partie, Charter
Party, Custom of the Coast, or Jamaica Discipline. These eventually became known as Articles of Agreement, or the pirate's code. Pirate articles varied from
one captain to another, and sometimes even from one voyage to another, but they were generally alike in including provisions for discipline, specifications for each
crewmate's share of treasure, and compensation for the injured.
Each crew member was asked to sign or make his mark on the articles, then swear an oath of allegiance or honor. This act formally inducted the signer into the
pirate crew, generally entitling him to vote for officers and on other "affairs of moment," to bear arms, and to his share of the plunder. The articles, having been
signed, were then posted in a prominent place, often over the door of the captain's cabin.
