Background
Mallot serves as one of Hector Barbossa's crewmen along who worked along with the cursed crew of the Black Pearl. During battle, he used a mallet, a weapon used in honor of his namesake, when he was serving the notorious captain's orders. However, during battle at Isla de Muerta, Mallot was knocked into the ocean alongside Grapple while he was still cursed. However, after the curse was lifted with Barbossa defeated, it is likely Mallot and the rest of the crew surrendered after Barbossa's defeat. It is unknown of what happened to Mallot following the aftermath.
Role in the film
Mallot was initially recruited by Jack Sparrow before beginning the search to find Isla de Muerta; however, Mallot participated during a mutiny with Barbossa commandeering the Black Pearl. He was later cursed by the treasure and attempted to find a plan to lift the curse. Later during the ritual when it was shown that Elizabeth Swann was not a relative of the Turner family and that Swann's blood did not work to lif the curse, Mallot joined a mutiny against Barbossa, which reminded him of his actions of sending Bootstrap Bill Turner during a difficult situation.
Mallot is later present during battle against the HMS Interceptor where he and Grapple attacked Elizabeth and dragged her onboard the Pearl. After Jack's craw was captured, Mallot was put in charge guarding the motley crew only for Mallot and Grapple to be distracted upon seeing a table of food which they were planning to eat once the curse is lifted during a situation where Elizabeth Swann knocked Jack the Monkey off the deck. Noticing the monkey who was falling off, Mallot noticed the monkey and then rushed to find the attacker which Elizabeth used a lifeboat to knock down Mallot and Grapple into the ocean in their skeletal forms. It is unknown what happened to him after that, even after the curse was lifted following Barbossa's defeat.
