History[]

Davy Jones is the first captain of the Flying Dutchman, preceding William Turner. He was a sailor capable and kind, whose greater passion was the sea itself. So fervent was his passion for this, who came to love her literally about her. Calypso, goddess of the oceans, and the person's own personification, came to correspond. As a form of interaction with humans, it was usual that the deities adopt human form to satisfy their own instincts, generally similar to those of mortals. Thus, in the form of Aunt Dalma, he met Davy Jones to the point of falling in love with him. For years they were happy together, but Calypso, incarnation of the sea itself, faced two conflicts: the first, that continuing living as a mortal together with his beloved would abandon him to abandon his work at sea. And the second, is that as she herself confesses to the Manners from The Black Pearl, the beloved of Davy Jones was a woman so changing, hard and indomit as the sea. This brings as a consequence that Calypso can not maintain a loving relationship or stable life for a long time, in the same way that it would not be possible to put dikes to the sea. To solve both conflicts, Calypso proposed to his beloved to help her in her homework. Davy Jones captain a ship, and both he and his ship would be blessed with the powers of the goddess. The captain should use his ship and his powers to give them protection to the souls of those men and women who died in the oceans, leading them to the beyond. Any of the souls that rescued could extend its eternal rest for one hundred years by an oath to the Dutch captain, and thus help him in his noble task. In return, I could only step on land once every ten years, a high price for someone in love. Calypso thus managed to help in his duties for the sea and at the same time, be able to go free for ten years, until his beloved disembarked. After his first decade of noble and vocational, he delivered to Calypso, finally Davy Jones disembarked. But unlike what I expected to find, his beloved was not waiting for him. Apparently, its indomitable nature prevented it from meeting with the disappointment captain.

The pain you felt then was too much as for support. He torn off his heart from his chest with his own hands, but the gifts of the goddess included immortality, in such a way that the organ continued to be pouring away from his body. Far from scareing pain, what got this act becoming a ruthless, cruel and spiteful being. He kept his heart and all the memories he kept from Aunt Dalma (except the musical necklace) in a chest and buried him in crosses, a small islet lost in the sea, where he should stay hidden. He kept the key of the chest tied by a rope to his neck, hides under his facial appendices. From this moment, he resigned his task of guidance from the fallen at sea. By neglecting his obligations, Calypso had no choice but to punish him, deforming his body, his crew and his boat, making them all in feathd man, half marine creature. This demonic appearance should be a reminder of the task that was ignoring to fulfill.
