He is still a pirate though, and often has a comically hypocritical egoistical streak. While Redbeard is occasionally portrayed as a villain, he’s normally more of a lovable rogue kind of guy. He is proud of his Spanish ancestors, and seeks to reclaim the gold that they have hidden across the Southern Sea. Captain Redbeard also has the ability to smell gold. This can often be seen in his “if someone falls, leave him behind” attitude. 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. Unlike most of those pirates, he is actually fairly friendly.
