## New Squidbeak Splatoon

The New Squidbeak Splatoon was formed by Cap'n Cuttlefish after the Great Zapfish was stolen by the Octarians. He recruited his granddaughter, Callie, who in turn recruited her cousin Marie, into the Splatoon to search for the missing Zapfish. Cap'n Cuttlefish later persuaded Agent 3 to join as well. The New Squidbeak Splatoon successfully defeated the Great Octoweapons and DJ Octavio on two different occasions, recruiting Agent 4 on the second occasion. Together, they recaptured the stolen Zapfish and restored power to Inkopolis.

### Members

* Cap'n Cuttlefish ‒ Cap'n Cuttlefish is the leader of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. He resides in a small shack in Octo Valley, wearing tattered clothing and a ragged Legendary Cap. In the *Octo Expansion*, he has a new look, wearing a new white hat, a tracksuit with headphones and some slip-ons and guides Agent 8 to get back to Inkopolis.
* Agent 1 ‒ Agent 1, or Callie, wears a pink beanie decorated with a large golden star, a pink sweatshirt, and sunglasses to conceal her identity. Agent 1 is the cousin of Agent 2. In the final boss battle of *Splatoon*, she and Agent 2 hijack DJ Octavio's transmission and play the *Calamari Inkantation*, allowing Cap'n Cuttlefish to escape. Agent 1 is never directly seen in Octo Valley; she is only acknowledged through Cap'n Cuttlefish's monologues and DJ Octavio's radio transmissions. In Octo Canyon in *Splatoon 2*, she is kidnapped and mind-controlled with "hypnoshades" by DJ Octavio, assisting him during the final boss battle. She is rescued and appears at Cuttlefish Cabin after beating the final boss.
* Agent 2 ‒ Agent 2, or Marie, wears a green hat embroidered with an orange emblem, a green shirt, and a surgical mask to conceal her identity. Agent 2 is the cousin of Agent 1. In the final boss battle of *Splatoon*, she and Agent 1 hijack DJ Octavio's transmission and play the *Calamari Inkantation*, allowing Cap'n Cuttlefish to escape. Agent 2 is never directly seen; she is only acknowledged through Cap'n Cuttlefish's monologues and DJ Octavio's radio transmissions. In Octo Canyon in *Splatoon 2*, she recruits Agent 4 and guides them throughout missions, also appearing during the final boss battle, to free Agent 1 from the mind-control of the "hypnoshades" by shooting them off with a Hero Charger.
* Agent 3 ‒ Agent 3, or the player character in *Splatoon*, enters Octo Valley to be immediately greeted by Cap'n Cuttlefish, who gives them the Hero Suit. While donning the Hero Suit, a hand-me-down from Agents 1 and 2, Agent 3 is instructed to traverse the underground Octarian bases in Octo Valley through Kettles. Agent 3 defeats the Great Octoweapons and DJ Octavio, recapturing stolen Zapfish and, eventually, the Great Zapfish along the way.
* Agent 4 ‒ Agent 4, or the player character in *Splatoon 2*, is the newest member of the New Squidbeak Splatoon. They enter Octo Canyon and promptly meet Marie, who gives them a new Hero Suit and entrusts them with finding the missing Great Zapfish and Callie. Making their way through the Octarians' new base, Agent 4 eventually finds and defeats DJ Octavio, freeing Callie from his mind control and rescuing the Great Zapfish.

#### Affiliates

These characters have all worked for/with the New Squidbeak Splatoon, but either are not full members, or their full membership status is currently unknown.

* Sheldon ‒ As noted by Marie at Cuttlefish Cabin, Sheldon was invited to be part of the New Squidbeak Splatoon in *Splatoon 2*, but declined, maintaining that the "technology team" must keep distance from the "troops on the front lines". Nevertheless, he still provides assistance, lending Agent 4 several Hero weapons and occasionally commenting and giving advice during missions.
* Agent 8 ‒ The first Octoling member of the New Squidbeak Splatoon, they were recruited by Cap'n Cuttlefish when they were knocked into the Deepsea Metro alongside him and Agent 3. Agent 8 was formerly working under the Octarians before leaving under the influence of the Calamari Inkantation; a misunderstanding led them to fight Agent 3 before the two agents and Cap'n Cuttlefish were knocked into the Deepsea Metro by an unknown attacker.
* Off the Hook
	+ Marina ‒ Helped Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish during the *Octo Expansion*, feeling that she wanted to help a fellow Octoling, in this case, Agent 8, escape. She did so through giving advice and hacking into the Metro's systems when needed.
	+ Pearl ‒ Like Marina, she wanted to help out Agent 8 and Cap'n Cuttlefish. She did so through giving advice and by cheering, as well as lending Agent 8 some C.Q. points when they run out. She also taught Cap'n Cuttlefish some rapping tips.

## Trivia

* The Squidbeak Splatoon is likely the reason *Splatoon* is named as such.
