Bootstrap Bill Turner

William Turner, nicknamed Bootstrap Bill Turner, is a character in Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean.

Background
Back known as "Billy Turner," Bootstrap Bill was close friends with Jack Sparrow. While he did join the mutiny, Bootstrap did not enjoy it one bit. As Jack was left to die on a smuggler's island with only a pistol, Turner sent his gold coin to his son and said they would remain forever cursed for what they did to their former captain. Barbossa took offense to this and had him drowned by having cannon balls strapped to his bootstrap. However, it did not kill him because Bootstrap was cursed.

Twelve years later, when the curse broke, Bootstrap was suddenly made mortal and nearly died, until Davy Jones saved Boostrap from death by offering his service for one-hundred years. Desperate, Bootstrap took it and has been Jones' prisoner ever since.
