Captain Roger Moore Redbeard is one of the many pirates who haunt the Tropical Sea. Unlike most of those pirates he is actually fairly friendly. But don’t be fooled, if there is gold on the line and Captain Redbeard is caught by his gold fever he can get quite ruthless. This can often be seen in his “if someone falls leave them behind” attitude. Captain bReadbeard also has the ability to smell gold. Captain Redbeard is proud of his Spanish ancestors, that’s racist, and seeks to reclaim the gold that they have hidden across the Southern Sea. Captain Redbeard is the captain of the Black Seas Barracuda, the Skull’s Eye Schooner, the Redbeard Runner and the Crossbone Clipper.

In 1992, another crew of pirates came that sailed on the Renegade Runner, The Captain smoothbore a resemblance to Captain bReadbeard, even missing the left eye and hand, but still had both of his legs; it was Captain Ironfoot. Later, in 2009, another new captain appeared, which was new replacement for Redbeard, Captain Brickbeard.

## Family

Captain Redbird has Spanish ancestors, and by name we can judge that he is English. He has three known descendants: twin daughters, Princess Argenta and Ms. Dagger, and one son, Captain Pete Nobeard. Lady Anne Anchor can be traced several times near him and could therefore even be his wife.

Since one of his twin daughters is named Ms. Dagger, he could have the same last name. According to *Lego Legacy: heroes unboxed*,his first name is Roger. If we put all of these informations together, his full name is Roger Moore - Redbeard.

The next day, as Admiral Woodhouse sets sail to locate the treasure, his ship is intercepted by Captain Redbeard, who's then made to walk the plank. As Admiral Woodhouse later uncovers the treasure, Captain Redbeard and his crocodile arrive to steal the chest, however he ends up being buried up to his neck in the sand, as Admiral Woodhouse returns to his ship with the treasure chest.
