- ―Marty to Jack Sparrow
Little is known of El Grande other than what was in a legend told by Jack Sparrow while he and Will Turner faced the gallows at Fort Alvo Grande. In the legend, while Sparrow and Turner were finding a crew in Tortuga, they met Marty the dwarf, who told them about his brother El Grande, how he was Pequeño's right hand man, and he was looking for them. After Sparrow and Turner were confronted by Pequeño, who broke his leg, El Grande was dispatched to destroy the two pirates, but was defeated by his own bombs and escaped. Later, Pequeno attempted to blow up the Interceptor, but was foiled by the pirates and again dispatched El Grande to find them. El Grande was defeated when Pequeño collapsed on top of him.
Equipment and skills
According to Jack Sparrow, El Grande was highly skilled with bombs and explosives, using them to a high degree during his brief fight with Jack Sparrow and Will Turner.
Behind the scenes
El Grande was voiced by Keith Ferguson in the 2006 video game Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow. While unconfirmed, it is likely that El Grande was made up and never existed, having only appeared in a made-up legend by Jack Sparrow. The term "El Grande" translates into "The Big One" in Spanish.
