Lore & Background
Angelica is introduced as a woman from Jack Sparrow's past and the daughter of Blackbeard. She forces Jack aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. Throughout the quest for the Fountain of Youth, Jack learns from Angelica that the Profane Ritual requires a mermaid's tear and two silver chalices located on Ponce de León's ship, the Santiago, and the person who drinks the water with the tear gets all the years of life from the other. Angelica also shows Jack Blackbeard's collection of captured, miniaturized ships in glass bottles, including the Black Pearl. After locating the Fountain of Youth, a battle between Barbossa and Blackbeard ensues, in which Angelica cuts her hand trying to remove Barbossa's poisoned blade from Blackbeard's chest. Filling the chalices with the remaining drops of water from the Fountain, adding Syrena's tear, Jack tricks Blackbeard into drinking the chalice lacking the tear. Jack maroons Angelica on a small island, unsure if he can trust her.
