'''Captain Blackeye''' is a large human pirate who sits in the backroom of [[Jolly Roger]]'s Tavern in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] 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 served as the main antagonist of ''[[Dream: Land of Giants]]'' that was redeveloped into ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.
'''Captain Blackeye''' is a large human pirate who sits in the back of the tavern [[Jolly's]] of [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. Prior to this appearance, Captain Blackeye was planned as the main antagonist of the cancelled game, ''[[Dream: Land of Giants]]'', which was redeveloped into ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.


A portrait of Captain Blackeye's head appears in [[Mad Monster Mansion]] of ''Banjo-Kazooie''. It used artwork from ''Dream''.
Captain Blackeye is a perpetual drinker with depression, which is strongly implied to be because ''Dream'' was never released. Captain Blackeye has a minor role in the game. If [[Banjo]] talks to Captain Blackeye 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 [[Doubloon]]s to fetch him a glass of water. Captain Blackeye then faints, but can still be interacted with as he spouts off his remarks.


His purpose in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' is 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 (as hinted with his green face) and falls over on his back, so instead, he gives Banjo and Kazooie two [[Doubloon]]s to fetch him a glass of water. However, he then faints and can still be talked to as he spouts off his remarks.
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.
