Captain Blackeye

Captain Blackeye is a curious character who sits in the back room at Jolly Roger's Tavern in Jolly Roger's Lagoon. He appears to be a pirate, and he drinks perpetually. Blackeye rants continuously about how a bear who looked like Banjo (or so he believes) stole his glory. He appears to be the same individual seen in pictures in Mad Monster Mansion, albeit a bit more haggard. He is also rumored to be linked to the mysterious Stop 'n' Swop. Captain Blackeye is also suggested to be the owner of the Rusty Bucket in Rusty Bucket Bay.

His purpose in Banjo-Tooie is very minor. If the player talks to him three times, he will threaten to attack Banjo and Kazooie if they do it again. On the fourth attempt, he will attempt to attack the duo (as implied by his dialogue), but being too seasick he falls over onto his back, so instead he gives Banjo and Kazooie two doubloons to fetch him a glass of water, but then he faints in a comical fashion, and can still be talked to as he spouts off his infamous remarks.

Captain Blackeye was also meant to appear in Banjo-Kazooie's first version, Project Dream. He was expected to be the main antagonist in the game but it was never released after problems. In Banjo-Tooie he commonly recites the words "Once, I had a dream...". This may be a reference to the game.
