Captain João's mate Walker was driven to a life piracy, when, at the tender age of seven he watched helplessly, as his pirate parents fell off the cliffs into the sea, pursued by an angry mob in the middle of a raging thunderstorm. With parents like that and the harsh life of an orphan, he felt compelled to take up the career of a criminal. He knows that many of things he does are wrong. But his tears dried up a long time ago, so he had a single tear tattooed on his right cheek as a testimony to his cruel fate. Because of this he goes by the name of Jack "Cry-Matey" Walker.
Inspired by three items:
1. Character A:
"Jack Sparrow" from Pirates of the Caribbean, Gore Verbinski 2003, property of Walt Disney Pictures
2. Character B:
"Cry-Baby", from Cry-Baby, John Waters 1990, property of Universal Pictures
3. The universal truth, that love songs can be turned into sea shanties by replacing every instance of "baby" with "matey",
as explained here by talking dinosaurs.
