- "Hallo, er, Tommy. You are Tommy, aren't you?"
"They call me One Tooth Tommy. 'Cause o' me tooth." - ―Jack Sparrow and One Tooth Tommy
Tommy, also known as One Tooth Tommy, was a pirate who sailed on the Cobra under the command of Hector Barbossa in the early 18th century.
Biography
- "I seen him that night, on his ship. Lookin' for survivors, he was, in the water. Not to save 'em. To kill 'em. The smoke was so thick, it hid us. Only reason we survived. 'Cause when the devil wants ye, he takes ye. Right?"
- ―One Tooth Tommy to Jack Sparrow
It is unknown when Tommy joined the crew of Hector Barbossa onboard the Cobra. He was known as a drunkard, but he was still a good sailor. He was a good friend with the one eyed sailor, Ragetti.
When the Cobra was attacked and destroyed by another pirate ship, Tommy was one of the few of Barbossa's men who survived the battle. During the battle, he saw the rogue captain on the deck of his ship and remembered his face.
A few days later, Tommy and the surviving crewmembers found a deserted island, from which they were picked by the passing pirate ship. Tommy and his mates were taken to Tortuga, where they encountered Don Rafael, the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean. After hearing Barbossa's story, Don Rafael took them all on his ship, the Venganza, and transported them to Shipwreck Island, where Barbossa repeated his story to the assembled Pirate Lords.
A few months later, in Shipwreck City, Tommy once again saw the rogue captain. It was Boris "Borya" Palachnik, the Pirate Lord of the Caspian Sea. Though Tommy didn't know who "the devil" exactly was, he talked about that encounter with the young pirate Jack Sparrow inside the Drunken Lady tavern.
Unfortunately for Tommy, their conversation was heard by Christophe-Julien de Rapièr, another rogue captain. Knowing that Tommy was a dangerous witness, Christophe caught Tommy in the dead of night, and drowned him. Tommy's body was found two days later by Jack Sparrow, who started the investigation which resulted in the capture of all rogue pirates in Shipwreck Cove.
