- “I come from a golden age where wolves were kings... The name's Sabreman. Adventuring is my game... or, at least, was my game.”
- —Sabreman, Banjo-Tooie
Sabreman is the main protagonist of the Sabreman series, who has made a number of guest appearances in the Banjo-Kazooie series. He is an old British explorer wearing a pith helmet.
History
Banjo-Tooie
In Banjo-Tooie, Sabreman can be found frozen in the icy side of Hailfire Peaks. To melt the ice and rescue him, Banjo and Kazooie must use Mumbo Jumbo's help to first bring him back to life with a Mumbo Pad. This will cause the adventurer to gain consciousness again and claim to have reached there while being chased by the Sabre Wulf in 1984 (a reference to the year where Sabre Wulf, the first entry of the Sabreman series, released) and ending up getting frozen by Chilly Willy. Then, the duo needs to heat him up. This can be done in various ways, such as by firing Fire Eggs, using the Hatch move or using Dragon Kazooie. After that, he asks for Banjo to take him to his tent, where he left all his equipment. This can be done by using the Taxi Pack move. There, he rewards the bear and bird with a Jiggy and starts to sleep.
Banjo-Pilot
In Banjo-Pilot, Sabreman can be seen as an obstacle in Jolly Roger's Lagoon.
Quotes
- Sabreman: Many thanks, young sir! Why, I've been frozen in there since 1984.
Mumbo: Mumbo think seen crazy old man before perhaps?
Sabreman: It's quite possible. I come from a golden age where wolves were kings... The name's Sabreman. Adventuring is my game... or, at least, was my game.
Mumbo: What Cableman doing in ice block?
Sabreman: That cursed Sabre Wulf chased me all the way here, where I was frozen in my tracks by the ice dragon... I'm rather cold, could you see your way to warming me up?
Mumbo: Mumbo not do that, but know bear that might...
- Sabreman: That's so much better!
Banjo: Glad to help an old hero.
Sabreman: Being frozen for so long has tired me. I need a cup of tea and 40 winks. Could yo possibly help me out one more time?
Kazooie: Of course. This sounds like a job for you, Banjo!
Sabreman: Can you carry me back to my tent? It's over on the fiery side of the mountain... If it hasn't burnt down by now.
- Sabreman: My tent! My equipment! It's just as I left it all those years ago!
Banjo: It's probably worthless anyway.
Sabreman: My treasure is still here too! You may have it, kind sir. It's a fine golden jigsaw piece. No use to me - I'm hanging up my boots.
- Zzz... I wonder what adventures await me...maybe I'll ride a dolphin.
- Zzz... Bears in their own adventure... Pah!
Trivia
- While sleeping, Sabreman says that, in his next adventure, he will maybe "ride a dolphin". This is theorized to be a reference to the Nintendo GameCube, whose codename was "Dolphin". The Sabreman series did not get an entry in that console, however.
- In Banjo-Tooie, while frozen, Sabreman can be seen holding a piece of the Wulf Amulet, an important item in Sabre Wulf.
