In Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest Commadore Norrington as he was once known, ends up a drunken mess in Tortuga before joining the ragtag ranks of Jack Sparrow's crew. He displays the truth of his goals when he backstabs Sparrow and Turner, taking the still beating heart of Davy Jones to Cutler Beckett in Port Royal.

In Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End Working for Cutler Beckett, Admiral Norrington takes command of the Flying Dutchman in order to keep "Davy Jones" under control. He shows his true colors when he helps Elizabeth Swann escape the brig of the Dutchman before sacrificing his own life to prevent their recapture.
