The chaplain was one of the few survivors present on the scuttled ship where William Turner was sent by Jack Sparrow to settle his debt with Davy Jones. The ship on which the chaplain served was destroyed by the Kraken and the survivors were later confronted by the crew of the Flying Dutchman. When offered service by Davy Jones, the chaplain encouraged the other crewmen to refuse. Angered by this and the chaplain's possession of a cross, Jones grabbed his throat and asked if he feared death. The chaplain promptly implied that he would not serve Jones. In response, Jones had him executed, and his body was thrown overboard.
