Scarfield

“	Your sleeves have been ripped. The mark of treason.	„
	~ Scarfield to Henry Turner.

“	Only the British Empire will hold the power of the sea.	„
	~ Scarfield as he spots the Black Pearl, and his last words moments before his ship gets crushed by the Silent Mary.

Lieutenant John Scarfield is the secondary antagonist of the 2017 fantasy swashbuckler film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, the fifth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series.

He is a vengeful, entitled, chauvinistic, and arrogant British Navy lieutenant who wants to kill Captain Jack Sparrow, Henry Turner, and everyone associated with them as well as acquire the Trident of Poseidon for the British Empire to earn great fame and promotion. He is the archenemy of Carina Smyth, to whom he also poses persecution at all costs and tries to have hung to death.

He was portrayed by David Wenham, who also played Harold Meachum in Iron Fist and Neil Fletcher in Australia.

History[]

John Scarfield is responsible for the recent capture of Carina and Captain Sparrow at St. Martin, as he plans to have both of them executed (Sparrow for piracy and Carina for alleged witchcraft, despite Carina's actual occupation as an astrologist). When Henry Turner turned up as the only survivor of a naval voyage gone awry, Scarfield slated him for hanging on account of his torn shoulders. Emphasizing his meanspirited narrowminded view by flagrantly disregarding the boy as a coward on account of an (unjust) dishonorable discharge.

Fortunately, Turner escaped while Carina had been recaptured sometime after the latter visited him while in the infirmary. Henry manages to escape trouble once again while acting as a distraction for a recaptured Jack's crew to free them. Sparrow, whom in turn, knocks out Scarfield with a block of wood from behind as the lieutenant was bragging before he could do any harm to Carina and her would=be rescuer.

Bewildered and humiliated, Scarfield assembles a crew and does everything in his power to find the three miscreants that ruined his reputation. He along with his naval men seek the help of Shansa the witch, hypocritically admitting he can discern the accused from the real thing whilst threatening his captive. One who willingly shows Scarfield the route to the Trident of Poseidon, where Henry, Carina, and Jack were headed, in exchange of him sparing her life. With that in mind, Scarfield plans to obtain the Trident for King George II so that the British Empire can rule the Seven Seas and he could receive an admiralty and great fame for this feat.

After hours of searching, Scarfield's ship known as the Essex would encounter the Dying Gull captained by then new leader of Sparrow's old crew, Mr. Gibbs, who gave the captain's hat to Scrumm in order to avoid clobbering by Scarfield's soldiers when the unscrupulous lieutenant inevitably catches up with them looking for answers.

Captain Scarfield and his fellow Red Coats would eventually spy the newly resurrected Black Pearl; having surmised their intent, the sea farer ordered the men to intercept them. After Henry Turner spots his ship on the starboard side, Hector Barbossa orders the entire crew to stand their ground and fight until the end. Scarfield stood aboard the Essex looking at the Pearl through his spyglass and ordered his men to prepare to fire. When all had seemed well, Scarfield heard a menacing sound creeping up behind him. As he slowly turned around he noticed a peculiar large object moving upward in a chilling way: the Silent Mary (led by the raging Armando Salazar and his ghastly crew). The Silent Mary opened its sides like a cage and came crashing down on top of Scarfield and his crew, igniting the powder magazine and causing the Essex to go up into flames and sink to the depths of the ocean, resulting the deaths of Scarfield and his entourage.
