Will Turner

The swashbuckling blacksmith of the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy. Beloved of the pouting, also swashbuckling heroine, Elizabeth Swann and, arguably (at least, according to many, MANY slash-shippers) also beloved of the immensely swashbuckling, piratical, dreadlocked Captain Jack Sparrow who swashbuckles like he invented it.

Turner is played by Orlando Bloom, of Lord of the Rings fame, in which he played Legolas. This has spawned innumerable crossovers between the two continuua, and those fangirls who were not captivated by Bloom playing a blond elf with pointy ears and an ineffable attitude to delivering the exposition were instead captivated by Bloom playing a sword-fighting, good-hearted hero with, mercifully, no bad dyejob this time, and his own ears.
