Read more about Culter Beckett at: Wikipedia Official Site: The Walt Disney Company :Read "Honourable East India Company" for England's actual trading company. Lord Cutler Beckett is a fictional character portrayed by Tom Hollander in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series. He appears as a main antagonist in Dead Man's Chest and in At World's End. Ruthless, manipulative and treacherous, Beckett is the chairman of the East India Trading Co., a fictitious company based heavily on the Honourable East India Company, and representative of King George II of Great Britain. Cutler Beckett has English origins. Beckett took employment in Great Britain's East India Trading Co.. Fourteen years prior to the events of Dead Man's Chest, Beckett provided Jack Sparrow (who was under the employment of the E.I.T.C.) with the Wicked Wench to transport "a certain cargo" to Port Royal for the Company. On voyage, Sparrow discovered the cargo was slaves and set them free in Africa. Beckett became enraged upon learning Sparrow's deed. Beckett ordered the Wicked Wench sunk and branded Sparrow a pirate. The Beckett character claims in Dead Man's Chest that Sparrow also left a mark on him. In the first movie, Commodore Norrington reveals a "P" branded on Jack's arm, saying Jack has had a run-in with the EITC. When William Turner asks Beckett what mark Sparrow left on him, Beckett merely changes the subject. Whatever it was, Jack surmised it was serious enough that what Beckett wants most in the world (with regards to him using Jack's compass) is to see him dead. Most of the "dirty work" Beckett desires is carried out by his right-hand man, Mercer.
