- "Good sirs, I'm not a witch... but I forgive your common dimwittedness and feeble brains. In short, most of you have the mind of a goat."
- ―Carina Smyth
A brain was an organ that served as the center for consciousness and reasoning. Located in the head as the most complex organ in a vertebrate's body, the brain served as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrate and most invertebrate animals.
Behind the scenes
- Actor Geoffrey Rush stated his opinion on how hats were important when it comes to creating a character.[1] On set, Rush was reluctant to part with Barbossa's wide, feathered hat "because that, to me, is the brain of the character. All his vanity and pomposity, all his danger and cunning and ego is contained in that hat".[2]
- Both Lee Arenberg (Pintel) and Mackenzie Crook (Ragetti) maintain that Pintel and Ragetti are related. As part of a backstory worked out by both actors, their characters' full names are Terry Ragetti and Abner Pintel, and that Ragetti was the son of Pintel's sister, and they shared half a brain.[3][4] Arenberg also claims Ragetti is the son of a prostitute. However, as none of it was revealed in any Pirates media, it is unknown if the information is canon or not.
