Lord Cutler Beckett〔(The "Letters of Marque", with the signature of Lord Cutler Beckett ) - Disney exhibition of the theatrical properties used in the movie〕 is a fictional character portrayed by Tom Hollander in the second and third ''Pirates of the Caribbean'' films. He makes his debut in Dead Man's Chest as a major supporting villain and has a more central part in the franchise's third installment At World's End. A devious, ruthless, manipulative, elegant, and treacherous mastermind, Beckett is the chairman of the "East India Trading Company", and representative of King George II of Great Britain. ==Backstory== Beckett's backstory wasn't fully revealed until the release of Ann C. Crispin's novel ''Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom''. Cutler Beckett was born and raised in England. At very young age, Beckett took employment in Great Britain's East India Trading Co. While on a mission for the Company, he was captured by pirates led by Christophe-Julien de Rapièr. He was tortured for several weeks, an experience which left him with eternal hatred for all maritime outlaws, before he was ransomed by the Company. Over the years, he became the EITC Director for West Africa. Thirteen years prior to the events of ''Dead Man's Chest'', Beckett provided Jack Sparrow (who was under the employment of the E.I.T.C.) with the ''Wicked Wench'' to transport "a certain cargo" to the island of New Avalon in the Bahamas for Beckett's superior Viscount Penwallow. On voyage, Sparrow discovered the cargo was slaves and set them free on the island of Kerma off the west coast of Africa. Beckett became enraged upon learning Sparrow's deed. Beckett ordered the ''Wicked Wench'' sunk and branded Sparrow a pirate. The Beckett character claims in ''Dead Man's Chest'' that Sparrow also left a mark on him. In the first movie, Commodore Norrington reveals a "P" branded on Jack's arm, saying Jack has had a run-in with the EITC. When William Turner asks Beckett what mark Sparrow left on him, Beckett merely changes the subject. Whatever it was, Turner surmised it was serious enough that what Beckett wants most in the world (with regards to him using Jack's compass) is to see him dead. Most of the "dirty work" Beckett desires is carried out by his right-hand man, Ian Mercer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cutler Beckett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
