Captain Blackeye

Captain Blackeye is a large pirate who sits in the back room of Jolly Roger's Tavern in Jolly Roger's Lagoon. He appears to be a pirate and he drinks perpetually. Captain Blackeye rants continuously about how a bear who looked just like Banjo (or so he believes) stole his glory. Captain Blackeye was originally planned as the main antagonist of Dream: Land of Giants, which was scrapped and redeveloped into Banjo-Kazooie.

A portrait of Captain Blackeye's head appears in Mad Monster Mansion of Banjo-Kazooie. The head was directly taken from Blackeye's official artwork for Dream.

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 try to attack the duo (as implied by his dialogue). Blackeye is too seasick (which is also hinted to from his green face) and falls over on his back, so instead he gives Banjo and Kazooie two Doubloons to fetch him a glass of water. However, he then faints in a comical fashion and can still be talked to as he spouts off his infamous remarks.

He makes a cameo appearance in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts on the Boot in a box weapon. His picture is also on a wanted poster and there is also a shop called "Blackeye's Boat Hire" near the Logbox 720 doors.

Trivia

 * According to Grant Kirkhope, Captain Blackeye owned a ship named "The Mudplugger".
 * Captain Blackeye breaks the fourth wall when you continue to speak to him, saying that if you press another time he will "run ye through".
 * There's an Easter egg where if you talk to him enough, he'll say three quotes: "Arr! I had a dream once...", "I were in this fine game...", and "A bear stole me glory...looked a bit like you, 'e did!". Captain Blackeye is referencing to how he was reduced to a minor character, and how Banjo took the spotlight from him.
 * Back in 2015, Gregg Mayles had a unique picture of Captain Blackeye as his Twitter profile picture. The render didn't have any hair nor beard. Gregg later said that the render was actually the one they did for Dream: Land of Giants.
