Pirates of the Caribbean - Maccus - LEGO Minifigure
Maccus was a sailor who served as First Mate aboard the Flying Dutchman under Captain Davy Jones. He was part of the crew during the time of Jack Sparrow's search for the Dead Man's Chest containing the heart of Davy Jones. Maccus was the crewman who was placed in charge of the other crewmen when they travelled to Isla Cruces to retrieve the Chest in Jones' stead, as the captain could only step on land once every ten years. Maccus was the one who ordered the crew to summon the Kraken, doing so with an evil, cold smile. After Jack was killed by the Kraken, Maccus remarked that not even Sparrow could best the devil.
By the time the East India Trading Company under Lord Cutler Beckettassumed command of the Flying Dutchman, Maccus was still the ship's First Mate. When Admiral James Norrington was found dead at the hands of Bootstrap Bill Turner, Maccus and the crew were shocked. When Davy Jones arrived, Maccus was the one who ordered the crew to return to the Captain's cabin. During the Battle of Calypso's maelstrom, Maccus remained aboard the Flying Dutchman while several other crewmen boarded the Black Pearl. He attacked Will Turner with his axe, but was soon tackled and knocked below deck by Jack the monkey. Maccus and the rest of the crew survived to be reverted back to their human forms after the death of Davy Jones and Will Turner's inauguration as captain.
Maccus was freed from servitude aboard the Dutchman after the destruction of the HMS Endeavour, with his debt to Jones repayed.

Lego minifigure, commonly referred to as a "mini fig", or simply just "fig", is a small plastic articulated figurine, many of which are yellow and other skin tones, available as part of the construction toy Lego, produced by Danish toy manufacturer the Lego Group. They were first produced in 1978, and have become hugely successful, with over 3.7 billion produced, and the figure appearing in a variety of media, including movies, books and video games. The figures are usually found within Lego sets, although they are also sold separately as keychains and magnets. While some are named as specific characters, either licensed from film franchises or of Lego's own creation, many are unnamed and are designed simply to fit within a certain theme (such as police officers, astronauts and pirates). Minifigures are collected by both children and adults. They are highly customizable, and parts from different figures can be mixed and matched, resulting in a large number of combinations.
