Barnabus Blood

Barnabus Blood, better known as Captain Blood, was a villainous pirate captain in Cool Ranch. Considered one of the most infamous pirates in history, Blood is well-known for stealing the treasure Marco Pollo brought from El Dorado. Captain Blood's career of thievery and violence earned him a fantastical reputation colored by rumors of his supposed immortality and secret lair hidden in Cool Ranch.
==Biography==
===Earlier escapades===
Barnabus Blood AKA Captain Blood made a name for himself by terrorizing and pillaging various areas of Cool Ranch. Blood made his way to Haunted Skyway to establish a haven for himself away from the authorities, driving the Bison from their ancestral lands and wreaking havoc.Rogue's Gallery: Tonka In addition to sacking Cooper's Roost on multiple occasions, Blood also attacked the poor village of Santo Pollo. This led to a violent feud between the dread pirate and El Toro, self-sworn protector of Santo Pollo. The two faced off in battle many times, including a duel on the highest cliff of Gold Creek, during which El Toro severed Blood's hand. His hand and sword fell into the water and settled at the bottom of Gold Creek Lake. After his injury, Blood replaced his lost hand with a large hook.
===Stealing Marco Pollo's treasure===
After Marco Pollo returned from his expedition to El Dorado, Blood stole all the treasure Pollo had brought with him. This included all the gold Pollo had claimed, as well as his ship, the Santo Oro. Blood hid the treasure and Pollo's ship in his hideout in Motherlode Mine. Legends of the stolen gold piqued the interest of many treasure hunters, but his hideout was never found.
===A game with Death===
Before his supposed demise on his death bed, Blood challenged Death to a game of cards in the Old Sippin' Saloon in Miranda. During the game, Blood raised the stakes by betting his immortal soul. Death laid down his flush of cards, at which point Blood realized the game had been lost. Blood took his own hand of cards and excused himself for a bathroom break from which he did not return. Blood became indefinitely stuck in an undead state of limbo between life and death.
===Mutiny, defeat, and burial===
In Blood's penultimate encounter with El Toro, Blood's first mate Sabatini betrayed him and led a mutiny against the crew's former captain. While most of the crew (including Sly Winkum and Hockley) allied with Sabatini, some of Blood's crew (Bosun Budd, etc.) defended their captain. During the mutiny, Sabatini attempted to destroy Blood's cards to put an end to his reign of terror, but the cards ended up lost and scattered throughout Miranda in the confusion. As the upheaval raged on, El Toro defeated Blood and, with the help of Hockley, buried him in a shallow grave near the town.
===Blood's return and final defeat===
Many years later, the Armada came to Cool Ranch in search of the map to El Dorado. They came to Miranda and dug Blood out of his grave, setting him free again. Blood traveled to Scorpion Rock and stole the map piece hidden by Christopher Clark, leaving a ransom note in its place. The Pirate and their crew eventually discovered the note and followed it on a long quest throughout Cool Ranch to find Blood's hidden lair.
Blood's return to Cool Ranch was accompanied by an onslaught of ghost ships invading Haunted Skyway. Interpreting their arrival as a harbinger of his former captain's return, Sabatini fled his home in Fort McMurtry. Blood followed Sabatini to the Abandoned Church to get his long-awaited revenge, killing his former first mate and leaving his undead minions to fend off the Pirate.
Blood later returned to Miranda after the Pirate finished his card game against Death using the severed hand in Gold Creek Lake. His immortality broken, Blood faced off against El Toro one final time in the Old Sippin' Saloon in a last-ditch attempt to escape death. El Toro, with the help of the Pirate and their crew, defeated Captain Blood once and for all, allowing Death to finally claim his soul.
