Pirate Assistant

The Pirate Assistant is a character from the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction at the Disney Parks.
==History==
===Background===
The Pirate Assistant was a pirate who served as a crewman of the Wicked Wench. Not much is known about his early life. During his lifetime, he joined the crew of the Wicked Wench led by the Pirate Captain who raided Isla Tesoro, which led to a successful invasion on the island. After the battle, he was found in the arsenal holding up One of his crewmates in a room full of barrels of gunpowder dangling in the area while singing "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)".
===Development History===
The Pirate Assistant is one of the characters created for the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction which first opened at Disneyland in 1967. He was displayed in the Isla Tesoro scene with the other pirates and has remained in this area ever since.
Due to the success of the attraction at Disneyland, the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction was later constructed at Magic Kingdom, still featuring him in it.
Formerly in the Magic Kingdom version of the attraction, the Pirate Assistant was also featured in a treasure room scene which was in place of the arsenal scene from the California version of the attraction where he and the other pirates were celebrating their discovery of the treasure. This scene was heavily replaced by Jack Sparrow as of the post-2006 revamp in the Florida version resulting of him and the rest of the pirates from the last scene to be removed from the attraction.
