Foxglove

**Foxglove the Berserk Harbour Tug** was one of the antagonists in the SeventyVerse's TUGS spinoff series and a former member of the Salvage Fleet.

## Backstory

Foxglove used to work in the Salvage Fleet until he and two other tugs, Nightshade and Oleander were fired for dishonest behaviour. Years later, they were hired by Corona to kidnap Sunshine so they could murder her via a Final Firing and Corona could take her place in the Star Fleet. All four were caught by Zip, Zug, Ember, Pisces, Scorpio and Misty, however and were dry docked.

After that, the four tugs hid out at the Breaker's Yard, and they, along with Jebediah Broke, Jacob Burke and Ebenezer Blair would be recruited by Ursula Zero, who had also recruited Zak and Zeus to take over Bigg City Port. The villains were later joined by Hans and Otto. The evil group then had Zug murdered via a Final Firing (which, in Corona, Nightshade, Oleander and Foxglove's case counted as revenge for Zug foiling their plot to kill Sunshine). This was a distraction of an attack on Bigg City Port which saw Top Hat, Zilly, Kirke and Sally Seaplane killed. The group was later discovered by Ten Cents, Big Mac, Hercules, Zorran, Zip, Warrior, Venus, Captain Star, Captain Lucky and Captain Zero. Sadly, Captain Zero was killed during the confrontation and Otto was also killed after Warrior rammed him into the dockside, causing a barrel of Black Water to tip over, much to Warrior's dismay. During the hostage crisis, Nightshade, and fellow Poison Plant trio tugs, Oleander and Foxglove, held Stormy and Hail captive in a cave near Dem Der Rocks until Sunshine's group came to rescue them. During the resulting chase, Nightshade, Oleander and Foxglove accidentally ran aground and the three tugs sobbed at letting Ursula down as they sank to the bottom of the ocean. Their remains were never recovered from the ocean and they were made into homes for fish.

## Personality

While he, Nightshade and Oleander love to cause havoc, Foxglove seems to enjoy it the most. Often, he'll be itching just to get out and do anything destructive. Foxglove seems to be a version of Scorpio with all her battle lust and none of her sympathy. While Scorpio is sweeter, Foxglove has no sense of regret at all.

## Technical Details

### Basis

Foxglove is based on USS Brilliant (ID-1329), which was the proposed name and hull classification for a tug that never actually served in the United States Navy.

Brilliant was a commercial tug built in 1903 by the Neafie & Levy at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. During the period of the United States' participation in World War I, the Navy inspected her for possible acquisition and assigned her the hull classification ID-1329 in anticipation of commissioning her as USS Brilliant. However, the Navy never took possession of her, and she remained in civilian service with her owners, the Atlantic Refining Company of Philadelphia.

### Livery

Prior to his dismissal, Foxglove was painted in the Salvage Fleet's livery. Nowadays, his livery consists of a black hull, a grey superstructure, a white mast and a black funnel. He wears a dark green sailor cap.
