33 The Grave of Jaime Lopez is the second lore item in the Spanish expedition sequence. The captain who buries Lopez does so without forgiveness: Lopez betrayed the Order and conspired with Davy Jones for promised eternal life that Jones did not deliver.

77 Jaime, Jaime, I pulled you out of a pit of debt and made you my first mate.And you repaid me by conspiring with the enemy, betraying the Order, betraying the faith.Whatever Jones promised you, it was a lie. Your 'eternal life' didn't last long.Today I laid you in the grave. Tomorrow I'll send Jones to Hell. It's been waiting for him.

1010 Jaime Lopez is the captain's first mate, who betrayed both the Order (the religious authority chartering the expedition) and his personal debt to the captain. The line 'Jones promised you eternal life, it was a lie' establishes that Jones is actively recruiting living crew with promises he does not honor, an in-fiction explanation for why the world is filling with unwilling Drowned.

1212 Within the Spanish expedition sequence the grave markers read as a chain of confessions left by the same captain. The Grave of Esteban Vargas and the Grave of Guillermo Sanchez sit alongside this one, while the Skeleton of Juan de la Cosa closes out the thread. Read together they trace how the expedition fractured from within before the sea took what was left of it.

1414 Lopez is the turning point of that story. His pact with Davy Jones, and the empty promise of eternal life that came with it, is the clearest in-world reason the archipelago keeps filling with unwilling Drowned. The captain's closing vow to send Jones to Hell sets up the grievance that still drives the haunting long after the burial.

1818 Like the other expedition markers, the Grave of Jaime Lopez is a world-placed lore object you pick up by exploring rather than a combat drop. Reading it adds the entry to your collection and advances your understanding of the expedition's fall. It is a Miscellaneous lore item, so it carries flavor and a stack value rather than combat stats; keep it for the record and for any collection that tracks expedition relics.
