Captain Hector Barbossa! He is in the first Pirates movie and plays the main bad guy. He is played by actor Geoffery Rush. He joins the Black Pearl...he began as first mate of Sparrow. "Barbossa asked Captain Sparrow to tell him the bearings of Isla de Muerta, believed to be a stronghold of Aztec gold; trusting Barbossa, Sparrow told him the location. That night, Barbossa led a mutiny against Sparrow and took over the Black Pearl, leaving Sparrow marooned on an island with a single-shot pistol (presumably with which to commit suicide rather than to die from starvation or dehydration). " (wikipedia) The rest of the crew was cursed to live forever and not have true emotion untill all the gold they stole was returned. "Barbossa is shot by Jack Sparrow (with the same pistol Barbossa had left him when he marooned Sparrow on the island) just before the two final coins and necessary blood are returned to the chest. Barbossa looks at the blood pouring from the wound, and says that he feels cold, his first feeling since the curse was put upon him. After he falls down, a close up of his face shows he is eerily content with his fate."

"Barbossa also makes an appearance in Dead Man's Chest. In the final scene of the film, while the remaining characters are in Tia Dalma's shack, she mentions that they will need a captain who can "...steer a ship like the devil himself." Barbossa then emerges from a dark stairway, holding an apple. He speaks his only line ("So tell me, what has become of my ship?") and takes a bite of the apple before the film ends.

Barbossa has a strange passion for apples which appears several times in the films: he asks Elizabeth whether she wants one and also tells her that after the curse is lifted he'd eat a whole bushel of apples; also there are apples on his cabin table and at the end of the film when he dies an apple falls from his hand; and his entire screen appearance in Dead Man's Chest features him holding an apple. This representation of the apple could be linked to a number of things; the deadly fruit that Eve partook from the Devil disguised as a snake; a reference in the film "a man so evil that hell himself spat him back out"; or perhaps from Disney itself, being the apple that is so infamous from the Disney cartoon classic, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in which the Evil Queen attempted to kill Snow White with a poisoned apple. Indeed Elizabeth comments when she is offered an apple, "It's poisoned". Of course this later proves to be wrong as Barbossa tells her and also as Jack eats one himself later on in the film. Most obviously it is a Vanitas style reference, particularly apt for a character incapable of dying. Apart from symbolism, it may be that one of Barbossa's pleasures in life was eating apples and that several years of being unable to feel, smell, or taste turned a pleasure into a constant craving.

According to the audio commentary from the first Pirates of the Caribbean DVD featuring the scriptwriters, Barbossa and Norrington are equally skilled with a sword and tie as second best swordsmen in the film series Pirates of the Caribbean."

All the quotations are from Wikipeda.

Hope I helped!

He was the Captain from the first movie. The captain was the Owner of the monkey. He and Capt Jack had an issue.
Not mentioned much (the issues) in the earlier movie but apparently he and Jack Sparrow are nemesis, but both are good captains.
He was the one who stole the Black Pearl from Jack Sparrow. And thus he's the only other person who was able to captain the Black Pearl.
He was also the one who gave the orders to leave Jack and Elizabeth to die stranded on an island.
Jack had vow that the one bullet left in his gun will be used to killed the captain, which Capt Jack shot at the end of the movie.
In the first movie the Captain and his crew ( Two of which are in the Sequel - the two that decided to steal the chest while Capt Jack, William and Norrington was fighting) was cursed as the 'walking dead' until all the gold was returned.
How he got back from the dead, maybe that would be explained in the third installemnt. But many questtions still lurks. Perhaps there will be more than just a trilogy.

Capt. Barbosa, he was the bad guy from the first movie. Jack was supposed to have killed him but he apparently has come back to life or he never died.
