Stone-Eyed Sam was a pirate and ruler of the so-called City of the Dead on Isla Esquelética. He hid a cache of treasure on the island, later uncovered by Captain Jack Sparrow and the crew of the Barnacle. While Jack and Fitzwilliam P. Dalton III were traveling through time with the Timekeeper, they were brought before Stone-Eyed Sam. Later, Stone-Eyed Sam touched and released the Timekeeper during a battle, restoring order to time.
