[edit] Background

Captain Roger Redbeard was the leader of the Pirates in the Pirates theme. He was first introduced in 1989 with the theme start and to the Pirates, he holds the same rank as Governor Broadside.

Redbeard is a fierce and bloodthirsty pirate that sails on his ship, The Black Seas Barracuda. He has several hidden hideouts and forts in which he can seek refuge, one of which being the Forbidden Island. He was cunning and smooth, and maintained a friendship with Bo'Sun Will, the youngest member of his crew. He also had a pet parrot named Popsy. He was always looking for treasure, including that belonging to the Islanders. As a pirate, Redbeard was an outlaw and was constantly chased by Governor Broadside and his imperial soldiers.

In 1992, a member of the pirate crew mutinied and started the Renegade Runner, a second faction of pirates in the area. The member bore a resemblence to Captain Redbeard, even missing the left eye and hand, but still had both of his legs.

It is not known what happened to Captain Redbeard. Some assume he was captured, killed or otherwise met a nasty end by the Imperials. Legend has it that he was last seen sailing off into the sunset on his ship.
