Wheelback was a crew member of Davy Jones's ship The Flying Dutchman. Like the rest of the crew, over time he grew to look like a sea creature. In his case, he grew to resemble sea life, and a ship's wheel became embedded in his back. He wields one pirate sword and is only playable when Extra Toggle is on. When Will Turner became captain of the Dutchman, Wheelback was reverted back to his human form, although this does not happen in the video game.
