Crainer (Squid Island)

Captain Crainer “BIG D 47” The Pirate, mainly known as Crainer was the main protagonist & most notably famous for perpetrating the Destruction of Squid Island. of the Squid Island series. He was usually friendly to others but usually got taken for granted by the other two to exploit him into wrongdoing, rarely getting revenge. In general, his trolls weren't very harmful, as most of them were usually time-consuming to clean up, however he received harsh consequences for most of them. Notable examples are his sand troll piled on Jelly's pyramid, his destruction of Jelly's pyramid, and putting water with fish in the 2nd floor of the Slogo Dome. Crainer then shifted toward the side of Freedom, before Jelly’s fatal lava troll, most notably killing Humpy. That caused Slogo & Crainer to move back to Squid Island. The death of Humpy deeply hit Crainer in a wave of Anger and Depression. It is uncertain if he will be sad or mad, as this series goes along. After the death of Humpy it caused the Destruction of Squid Island. They moved to The Squid Islands, he assumed the role as a Pirate..

He accidently slaughtered the new King Glowey II with an axe, resulting in the other two transporting King Glowey III. to the aquarium. Slogo and Jelly decided to partially blow up Crainer's Skyscraper as revenge. In the process, he almost destroyed Jelly Land and ignited a huge territorial war.

===The Second Squid War===
Main article: Squid War II
Crainer would put Beenny in Jelly's Lava Skyscraper to keep him "safe". However, the troll resulted in Beenny's death. Jelly would take revenge on Crainer by killing Floppy and giving him to the unsuspecting Crainer to eat. Due to this, Crainer took revenge on Jelly and Slogo. For Slogo, he sabotaged the pressure plate system on his meat factory. For Jelly, he would set up a fire trap at the Beenny Memorial Statue, which would fail. On April 3, Crainer, discovering that his troll on Jelly failed, went into Jelly Land and started to burn the Beenny Memorial Statue as Slogo tried to put the fire out. jelly, on the other hand, covered Crainer's enchantment tower in Lava as revenge, and Destroyed Crainer's boat. Crainer saved some fish that was in the boat's lake that was also being grieved and soon flooded Jelly's lava enchantment tower. Crainer also proceeded to burn down Squid City. Slogo broke up the fight, and told and Jelly the presidential election plan. Crainer's problem was that the subscriber count was unfair, but still went along with it.
===The Presidential Era===
Crainer lost the first election and was then put on trial by President Slogo over the land transfer contract being illegally broken. About a week later, he was soon released and joined the president in publicly shaming Jelly after he underpaid his tax and building the monorail that went around the island. 1 day later, however he would build the eco-friendly foundations of his rival to Bork co, HUMPy Co, as he believed that Bork Co's industrial monopoly would need competition. On May 1, he won back his own land that Jelly once owned in an auction. The next presidential voting would occur and Crainer came last in the election once again. Since Crainer forgot to pledge allegiance and pay tax, he was crushed to death with anvils. He then trolled the president's land by filling it with boats while exposing Jelly for his nefarious deeds. On May 23 Crainer got his Humpy statue shaved as per the law. President Slogo decided that the camel was out of Crainer land and the back of it had to be shaved. 
===Crainer's Presidency===
The third presidency campaign came and Crainer finally won beating only Jelly, as Slogo couldn't compete a third time. He started his presidency by giving Jelly back his land and making Slogo's land legal but he then forced jelly to change the name of his company from Jelly Inc. to Beenny Co. but what he did to Josh was kind of worse. because he asked Josh to build a communal farm in Community Land. and seeing that Slogo only made a little square farm and seeing his gigantic Bork Farm sign, Crainer was not happy and decides to burn it down in front of Slogo (who also accidentally logged on during Crainer's current solo). but seeing that Jelly has learned from his mistakes, especially during his time in prison, Crainer the President decides to forgive him and the three head to the end and take down the Ender Dragon together. He also crowned Jelly Citizen of The Week ,thus allowing him to make a new law with him. and that said law was that any Villagers that have been abused by either of the citizens is now Illegal, thus sorta shutting down Bork Co. for not following that law. Crainer would then resign his role as president, and give it it Jelly instead. Slogo would shut down his company. Jelly would then receive Crainer's message but would not accept it due to it being illegal. Crainer would then leave because of how tired he is of all of the politics on the island. 
===Crainers Arrival In The Grove===
On June 23 2024, Crainer recieves a message that Josh sent him a day earlier that invited him to join his "cult" or as Slogo put it, Jelly has gone dictator and Slogo has King Henward so crainer move in. Slogo also helped convinced crainer by resurrecting his old dogs Banton and Anton that were killed by slogo. Crainer went to the island with his 5 pets (Humpy, Tonk, Bonk, and the newly resurrected Banton and Anton), and after a while of investigating, he decides to fully move onto this land.
===Death of Humpy & Arrival Back to Squid Island===
As Crainer logged on he was met with lava & Slogo told him to come out via the tunnel. Then Slogo told Good & bad news, the good being he showed Crainer that Anton & Banton were fine, but the bad news hit him deeply with emotions,. Slogo told Crainer that Humpy was dead. Then, Jelly was elected president, and made a controversial move by connecting The Grove to the United States of Squid Island. He gave Crainer an emotionally and physically hard task, to clean up the lava. 1 episode into Jelly's presidency, and fans already don’t like him.
=== The Secret Grove, Squid Island Revolution, and Destruction of Squid Island ===
Crainer joins The Secret Grove and takes part in the Squid Island Revolution by stealing King Glowey III and putting him in The Secret Grove. He renames the squid to "King Dumb Dumb", and writes a book to Slogo asking him to build a gunpowder factory to make TNT. In the next group video, Slogo would distract Jelly in the end while Crainer would place TNT all over Squid Island. When Slogo and Jelly returned, Crainer activates all of TNT, causing the Destruction of Squid Island and ending Squid Island (Season One).
=== The Squid Isles ===
After Crainer had detonated Squid Island, him, Slogo and Jelly decided it was best to move forward. They claimed 3 seperate islands which formed The Squid Isles and they all were living peacefully, mainly going on adventures raiding shipwrecks, temples and trial chambers. A few weeks after they got there though, everything would change.
=== Crainer's Fate ===
After the server IP was leaked for the Squid Isles, the viewers had invaded and destroyed all three of the islands. Two days later, Crainer met up with Slogo to observe the damage that was caused. They had lost everything that they loved. So, at the end of the video, Crainer began a final speech on the pontoon, and drowned himself, killing him, ending his time on Squid Island after 9 months of fun.
==Trivia==
* Crainer is the member that has made the darkest jokes out of the three.
*Crainer was the most peaceful person on the server, but that now has changed drastically, with Slogo taking that role.
*Crainer since the death of Humpy, has now been more Violent and depressed at times.
*Crainer is a man who loves animals more than his friends questionable.
*He hasn’t died much on the server, clocking in at 5 or 6 deaths, higher than Slogo’s 1 but significantly lower than Jelly’s 11+.
*Crainer has the shortest presidency term in Squid Island history. Only being the president for 2 group videos. He has then given the presidency to Jelly in a solo video, which was illegal, and Jelly has since labeled Crainer as a criminal and put King Glowey in charge.
*Hypothetically, Crainer was the first person on Squid Island; because in the first ever group video, on November 8, 2023, he claims that after he left the group, he hid in another dirt shack ON the island, until Jelly and Slogo returned to him. Which could mean that Crainer unofficially spawned in Squid Island during 2022, and hasn’t said anything about it until the group got back together the year after.
