'''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]]''.

“Avast there, ye scurvy dogs! I be Captain Blackeye, fearless pirate and scourage of the seas...”
Captain Blackeye, Banjo-Kazooie

Captain Blackeye is a recurring character in the Banjo-Kazooie series.

Characteristics[edit]

Captain Blackeye is a large human pirate originally planned as the main antagonist of the cancelled game Dream: Land of Giants. He is a perpetual drinker with depression, which is implied to be because he "had a dream once" where a bear stole his glory.

Biography[edit]

Banjo-Kazooie[edit]

Captain Blackeye first appears in Banjo-Kazooie, although only as a cameo in the form of a portrait in the mansion of Mad Monster Mansion. The portrait depicts his artwork from Dream: Land of Giants, but is cropped to his head.

Banjo-Tooie[edit]

In Banjo-Tooie, Captain Blackeye has a minor role, sitting in the back of a bar in Jolly Roger's Lagoon. If Banjo talks to him three times, he threatens to attack him and Kazooie. On the fourth attempt, he tries to attack them (as implied by his dialogue). However, Blackeye is too seasick, as shown from his green face, and falls on his back. Instead, he gives Banjo and Kazooie two Doubloons to fetch him a glass of water. Captain Blackeye then faints, but can still be interacted with as he spouts off his remarks.

Nuts & Bolts[edit]

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, Captain Blackeye makes a cameo on the Boot in a Box weapon. His picture is on a wanted poster, and there is a shop called "Blackeye's Boat Hire" near the LOGBOX 720 doors.

Other appearances[edit]

In Grabbed by the Ghoulies, pictures of Captain Blackeye can be seen in various rooms of Ghoulhaven Hall. They look very similar to his picture in Banjo-Kazooie.
