Henry Turner

Henry Turner was the son of Will Turner and Elizabeth Turner (née Swann). Following his first encounter with his father, Henry decided to find the legendary Trident of Poseidon to free his father from his curse, an obligation to sail the Seven Seas for all eternity as captain of the Flying Dutchman. When he grew up, Henry became a sailor in the Royal Navy, serving on the Monarch. During his adventures, he encountered the terrifying ghost crew led by Armando Salazar, who requested him to find the known pirate Jack Sparrow. Wrongfully accused of cowardly abandoning his shipmates, Henry was forced to form an alliance with Sparrow's pirate crew and the young scientist Carina Smyth. Chased by the British forces led by Lieutenant Scarfield and Salazar's bloodthirsty ghosts, Henry and his allies embarked on a perilous journey to find the legendary weapon that would give them control of the sea.

Onboard the ghost ship, Turner's body was possessed by Salazar who knew that once he had the Trident of Poseidon he could undo the spell. With Henry's body, Salazar traveled the island where he found the way to reach the Tomb of Poseidon. Salazar began to fight against Smyth and Sparrow who were unable to defeat him without harming Henry in the process. After grabbing hold of the trident, it released Salazar from Henry's body, and he laid unconscious as he was tended to by Carina. Henry soon regained consciousness as he and Carina witnessed Salazar using the Trident to torture Jack. Carina was able to remind Henry on how to break all the curses at sea. After Jack managed to hold the trident in place, Henry was able to break the Trident causing Salazar and his entire crew to turn back into their human forms, but the trio soon realized that the split sea was slowly coming to a close, and they were right in the middle. When all had seemed lost, everyone noticed Barbossa swinging in from atop of the Pearl's anchor, urging them all to climb. Quickly climbing aboard, the group proceeded to climb the anchor as the still vengeful Salazar followed them. As they climbed, Barbossa saved Carina and noticed Salazar was closing in on her but Jack took Henry's sword giving to Barbossa who relinquished his grip on the anchor and fell stabbing Salazar in the back on his way down, killing him. The stunned group watched as both Salazar and Barbossa were washed away in the consuming seas.

As the sea finally tamed itself, the group returned to the surface and with the rest of the crew mourned Barbossa's sacrifice. Henry saw the distraught in Carina's eyes as she just found and lost her father, he pondered on how to approach her as Jack helped him by giving Henry her diary so he could return it to her. With this, Henry approached her and questioned if she was alright as she stated she didn't know as she had everything she looked for, but in a moment it was gone again. Henry told her not everything as he gave her the book and she accepted the gesture since the book was given to her by her father as Henry called her "Miss Smyth" she corrected him, and told him that her name was "Barbossa". All was calm as the crew of the Pearl sailed back to Henry's home, where he realized Jack was right about how he felt and tried to kiss Carina, who slapped him, thinking he was still possessed. He forgave her and he kissed her, a sentiment she returns. Henry then witnessed the arrival of the Flying Dutchman and saw his newly-freed father walking up the hill. Will embraced his son, and Henry returned his necklace. Henry and Carina then happily watched as Henry's mother emerged from the hills and reunited with her husband. His further fate is unknown.
