[@wikuslamprecht4974]

Captain falcore can you pls reply to this. I for one belive we might see more of thr captian and mentions for the next adventure and rare is quiet FOR a reason so I'm geusing that they will bring jack sparrow back or hook. But I'm geusing it's captain jack sparrow. Cause liked you said the duchem neads a captian. So I'm thinking jack will see the captian return to the sea of thieves and warn us. But by now I'm really hoping before that we can help pendragon escape and back to the living world to help us. Cause he was there when we beaded the most now it's our time to help him.

[@tankythemagnorite9855]

I think, like Flameheart to Le Chuck, the Cap'n is A NOD to Captain Hook, rather than him himself.

I got really nervous and excited at the end because Falcore isn't wrong. The Dutchman needs a captain

[@timejack100]

Also, even if The Dutchman did sink in a gigantic explosion, it can still remain in the Sea of The Damned as a memory, and if The Captain is in the Sea of the Damned, and remembers The Dutchman, he could take it and sail to the Sea of Thieves with ease, thx to the fact that the nature of The Dutchman is to go from the world of the living to the world of the dead. Hmm... but why didnt he use The Dutchman already?... ... Well, this is a rough theory, and i dont have anything to back this up, but... what if the Captain is, or is related to, the thing that Brigsy didnt want to let out from the Sea of The Damned? That terrible monster that is told in one of the Tashas journals?

[@cryoblade9713]

Potc six? Just a thought that considering fans are predicting DJ re entering in vol. 6 of the movies , that’s just another pointer towards potentially a pirates life 2 and him being more included in the game. If that is the case it’s another big reason why rare we’re hiding the Disney colab even since before the release of the game, with the cap’n ‘s main associating character potentially being DJ, like flame heart junior and senior almost.

[@camseki9588]

@TimeJack going off the theory that the Captain is Captain Hook perhaps the monster is question is in fact the crocodile that chased after Hook but was twisted and changed by the magic of the Sea of the Damned into a hulking monstrosity that will wreak havoc on The Sea of Thieves leaving destruction upon the waves with the only warning being an ominous tick tock tick tock.

[@etiennevig8712]

Maybe the Cap'n is the mysterious rat like he use the rat to see everything in the sea of thieves but hiden in the appearance of a simple animal, exactly like the reaper bone's parrot. Could be a good explanation.

[@TheYardninja]

I hate that goddamn rat. You’ll find out why soon enough

[@luanilsonlima8100]

This could mean something but the Cap'n owns a cat and i don't know i a cat could obey a mere glowing eye rat.

[@xDracolich]

Wait... what if the Cap'n is the Cursed Captain from the Pirate's Life tall tale? He's an original character that appeared within those, and so far one of the ONLY original characters introduced in those tall tales (other than the Merqueen, but she was established before that). The Cursed Captain has no official name either, but he does say this after noticing a player: "Now that be what I call true pirate courage! Not like the scurvy sea devils who stole me plunder an' jailed me up here. Me own crew, a bunch of treacherous curs!" He got betrayed by his own crew, and later, after you saved him, he's seen hanging as a door spy outside the Tavern of the Damned, a place that is also seen in the cinematic for Shrouded Islands when Belle was introduced. He's one of the only (if not the only) skeleton we meet in the game that isn't immediately hostile, and even when helping him regain his body, he doesn't turn on us - exactly like how he welcomed the Servant of the Flame without hesitation. Not just that, but he is also seen often shortening words like "you" (ye), "holding" (holdin'), “do you” (d’ye), and "pulling" (pullin') - just like the Cap'n. Both characters are also currently in the Sea of the Damned. I always thought his appearance felt a bit out of place in the tall tale, since he is an entire side-quest. You came to the little town to signal the Ferry of the Damned, and then sneak on board, but then you have to help this guy because… why? His presence just doesn’t make sense on a story perspective, unless it was because he’s important later

[@purple_tux5661]

He does feel oddly placed to not be important, I think you're on to something.

[@EnderHunter1013]

I thought this at first too, but then I remembered something that kinda debunks the whole thing. When the Cursed Captain is reunited with his body he has a hook on his right hand, and the Cap’n’s seat in The Dark Brethren has scratch marks on the left armrest.

I like to think that the Cap'n is actually Captain Blackeye from Banjo-Tooie. He was supposed to be the main villain of Project Dream before it became Banjo-Kazooie and he was replaced by Gruntilda the Witch. It makes sense to me that he would make his grand debut in Rare's quintessential pirate game and assert himself as the main villain. Plus, it wouldn't be the first time Rare has pulled one of their old characters into the game.

[@commanderroo5145]

I would also like to think the main big bad they've been hinting at all this time is an original character, instead of Captain Hook. While Captain Hook WOULD be cool, if the Cap'n has such an involvement in the plot for this long, it'd be better to have an original character

@@everettgaspar3482 I do wish Rare could bring in the Pirate Krocs from Donkey Kong Country in a way that makes sense to the lore.

[@CrimsonFangTV]

Personally, I can foresee The Cap’n being someone similar to Cutler Beckett. The emergence of the sovereigns and the secretive notes they hold to the Sea of Thieves equivalent to the East India Trading Company leads one to believe that the pirate way of life could be in jeopardy, similarly to how it happens in the movies. Although this might follow too closely to that storyline, and The Cap’n has been defined as an entity since before Rare and Disney collaborated to bring the POTC films to the game

[@Salavax]

It’s obviously Captain Crunch. No one manipulates people as much as he does. I mean how else can he get customers to eat his crappy cereal 👀

[@Wilkinsthewest]

Keel hauling was actually created as an homage to the good Cap'n. Is was said that dragging a body through barnacles was the only thing close enough to the pain suffered by those forced to eat the Cap'n 's cereal.

The problem with the captain being hook is you're basically handing the game to Disney. This is why it's NOT Hook, not saying we won't see Hook, but I doubt they will hand over the game to Disney like that.

The thing is Captain Hook isn’t a Disney character. He was a character created for the original Peter Pan and there are many different interpretations of him.

[@MischievousMan23]

That last bit makes so much sense. The Dutchman can’t sail without a captain, and with Davy Jones being captured he could take the place.

[@colebrown4927]

[@sherlockhayden]

I think its hook from the Jake and the Neverland pirates, i know that seems unlikely but remember from the show the jolly Rodger is crewed by 4 people and Jake and all them have a crew of 3 and the jolly Rodger is much larger than than Jake's ship which is very similar to sea of their es brig and galleon.

[@Super-Sheepy]

I still think the captain is the talking skull. Think about the tall tale, he's locked away until you released him. His crew let's saying "sorry captain" yes can just be due to bein a captain but he knows how the sea of the damd works and what would happen when you put the soul flam would do the the ferry when you light it

[@FreedomAndPeaceOnly]

[@alexandredotts2303]

Considering the partnership with Disney, it would make sense for the Cap'n to be Hook and be revealed in the next month or two. Disney is releasing a new, live action Peter Pan movie on Disney+ at the end of this month (April 28th) with Jude Law starring as Hook. The chance to leverage the prior partnership for promoting the film is too good to miss.

Oh it’s Capn Hook from the movie Hook for sure. The pirate emporium gave it away years ago with the lost boy emotes from the movie and Hook was eating by the croc at the end of that movie also which in theory would be how he got to the sea of the damned. Yarr! It be true =)

When exploring the tavern at New Golden Sands to the right of the bar is a barrel that lets you place a trinket on it. I have never seen that anywhere outside of a ship so I'm curious if putting a specific trinket on there triggers something. Or it's just a place to show off your trinkets for the 1% of players who use the bars to socialise.

[@drunkpepsican5849]

See the problem with this tho is that Davy survives unless the heart is stabbed. The captain will only be replaced once the original one dies

[@luanilsonlima8100]

Just a quick note: If Flameheart's son sailed the Silver Blade into the Shroud and got stranded on the same island as the Cap'n, maybe he is not on the Sea of the Damned. He said "I'll make sail on the fastest tide." If he is saying in literal sense, his lair is outside of the Sea of Thieves indeed, but not on the boundaries between worlds but outside of the actual territory. Maybe i'm wrong. But, who knows?

[@BlakeTheGamblingHero]

so, this is coming from somebody who has not read the novelizations of SoT, nor do i have the full understanding of every character in the game. The proposed "Cap'n" to me may be some form of equivalent to Death itself, or the grim reaper. Not only has it set sights hard on characters that have somehow came back from the dead to walk amongst the living, like Flameheart, But of course theres the targetted sights of the flying dutchman, and maybe even the fort of the Damned. Maybe this Cap'n is some form of eldritch being wanting to basically eradicate the undead force that has overtaken the Seas, both Ghostly and Skeletal, in order to create a world entirely in his control, and a world where no human in the Sea of Thieves, are given a second chance at life.

[@kingofthedepths3513]

Don't forget davy jones

[@Trepidanos]

Though I would be absolutely enthralled with Captain Hook to be this "above all" villain, I was also pondering if Rare would use one of their old, unreleased IPs for this. Just like how they brought back one of their oldest games Blackwyche into the narrative and world of Sea of Thieves, I think they'd eventually use pieces from their unfinished and cancelled game "Project Dream" (Dream: Land of Giants). More than anything, it's mostly just for the sake of possibly seeing Captain Blackeye again. :B

[@cookieartist7124]

It has to be Blackbeard, because get this, in the sea of thieves skeleton concept art you can find a skeleton with the matches on the beard, and besides that. Blackbeard died irl but he could probably come back as a skeleton. Because that’s sea of thieves logic I guess

[@batmandalin2339]

Did you forget that calypso destroyed the heart, then we sunk it, even if it didn’t sunk the Dutchman goes to calypso

[@margaretballinger2484]

If the Capt'n ruled the Sea of the Damned and wanted to end Flameheart. He would need to turn him mortal again. And the Dark Brethren are seeking a cure for the skelly curse.

[@Rogue0DK]

While I agree there is evidence to support the idea that the Captain is Hook, I really really hope they dont go down that route. SoT lore is strong enough on its own. It does not need cheesy help from Disney IP. Maybe the Captain is Ramsey? Or simply someone we have not met yet. Leader of the Grand Maritime Union maybe. I hope so.

I think the Capt Hook idea holds a bit of weight and people are overlooking some easter egg foreshadow play here. So there was a game called Epic Mickey (saw my god kid playing it) and he was fighting "animatronic hook" on a ship, I did not think much of it at fist but lo and behold the capt had green eyes. You know who else has green eyes.... That damn mouse that keeps popping up as an Easter egg, what is the mouse synonymous with, Disney. That combined with the sea serpent ship set they just added what if the serpent isnt really a serpent they are adding but a giant crocodile... Or both.. Id like to see both.

[@endertuber8300]

As an avid player and huge fan of the Epic Mickey game, I'm afraid to say that Animatronic Hook has green eyes becouse of Thinner: the game's color scheme associate Blue with paint, goodness and the "right way", where Green is thinner, evilness and bad, so a lot of enemies have green eyes/color schemes

Crazy theory capn is pendragon . Hear me out before you aim your flintlocks at me. he been pulling a lot of string lately in the stories. He set out to free himself from a painting to put himself back to the world of the damned willingly. Now say the Dutchman is still in play for the story. If the ship doesn’t have a captain what would stop pendragon from easily taking over that ship?he can easy use the Dutchman for his own deeds and the swords of soul he uses can easy trap souls just as much as free them. Fair thing to note also the good guys are not always the good guy duke is a perfect example of a “good guy” that uses the player to set motion to something for him it was the start of the reapers just like stitcher Jim a trader who was once good then betrayed everyone.
