[change] Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
In the first movie, he is seen as a pirate captain in command of the ship, the Black Pearl. The crew of the ship attack Port Royal looking for an Aztec Gold coin. Soon afterwards, he is shown to be a cursed, undead pirate. The captain and crew of the ship needs to find all 882 gold coins which they stole. They will remain cursed until all the coins are returned and a price in blood is paid.
They had already returned 881 coins to the chest. The daughter of Port Royal's governor, Elizabeth Swann, had the final coin. Barbossa also believes Swann to be the person whose blood they need. He later finds out she is not the person they need.
At the end of the movie, Barbossa is having a sword fight with Jack Sparrow. Sparrow had stolen one of the 881 pieces of gold in the chest. This made him also cursed. Barbossa stabs Sparrow with his sword not knowing he was also cursed. Sparrow then shoots Barbossa with his gun. As Barbossa tells Sparrow that he can not die, Will Turner cuts himself with his knife and drops the bloody coin into the chest. This removes the curse. With Barbossa now human again, he dies from the gunshot wound.

In the third movie, Barbossa leads the mission to bring Jack Sparrow back from Davey Jones' Locker. After that point, he and Jack revive their old rivalry. They both said they were the captain of the Black Pearl.
It becomes clear that Barbossa helped bring Jack back from the dead. Barbossa was also brought back from the dead. This was done so that both men could attend the Brethren Court as Pirate Lords. Barbossa wanted to get the Court to release the goddess Calypso from her human form and have her help the pirates defeat the East India Trading Company.
As acting captain of the Black Pearl, Barbossa marries Turner and Swann during the battle with the East India Trading Company and the ship, the Flying Dutchman. At the end of the movie, Barbossa again takes command of the Black Pearl. He leaves Sparrow the port of Tortuga and sails off in search of the Fountain of Youth.
[change] Kingdom Hearts II
Barbossa makes a return in the game Kingdom Hearts II where he follows his role from the first film, but instead, he and his crew also know Pete. The ending battle between him and Jack is pretty much the same, expect that Sora is also helping out Jack too.
