Admiral Norrington is a Pirates of the Caribbean minifigure to be released in 2011 within one set, 4183 The Mill.
Background
He joined Weatherby Swann and daughter, Elizabeth crossing from London, at the time which he was a lieutenant. He assisted in rescuing child, Will Turner from the remains of a vessel attacked by the Black Pearl.
In The Curse of the Black Pearl, Norrington is promoted to rank of Commodore and presented with a sword crafted by Will Turner. He proposes to Elizabeth Swann, but does not receive an answer until later when Elizabeth convinces Norrington to pursue the cursed, Black Pearl. Norrington participates in the victorious battle against the undead pirates. He later tries to hang Jack Sparrow, who escapes by aid of Will Turner. Elizabeth then tells Norrington that her heart lies with Will. Norrington gives Jack a one day head start before heading out in pursuit.
In Dead Man's Chest, Norrington is presented with a death warrant for participating in Jack's escape. However he has disappeared and his sword remains in Port Royal. He is later found in Tortuga and it is revealed that his ship sunk in a hurricane in pursuit of Jack and he was the only one who survived. He joins the crew of the Black Pearl, but betrays Jack when he steals letters of marque and Davy Jones' Heart and delivers them to Beckett to reclaim his honour.
In At World's End, Norrington is promoted by Beckett to rank of Admiral in service of the East India Trading Company and he is reunited with his sword. He still cares for Elizabeth and frees her and her crew from the Flying Dutchman after he had imprisoned them, regretting siding with Beckett. He shares his one and only kiss with Elizabeth before a crazed Bootstrap Bill Turner stabs him. He then turns down an offer of servitude from Davy Jones by thrusting his sword into Jones' shoulder, sealing his fate. Jones keeps the sword and later uses it to kill Will Turner, ironically being the sword's maker.
Notes
- On the Pirates of the Caribbean homesite on LEGO.com, Admiral Norrington is given Philip's hairpiece.
- In the films he is played by Jack Davenport, who voices the Admiral in Lego Battles.
- The LEGO.com description states he is an admiral, which is incorrect, as in Dead Man's Chest, the set 4183 The Mill is based off, he is a pirate. He is not chronologically an admiral until the next film, At World's End.
