==Biography==
 
[[File:Cap'n.png|left]]
 
Prior to the events of the ''Oracle'' games, [[Queen Ambi]] fell in love with a sea-faring man, the Captain, who was the leader of a band of pirates.<ref name="Tower"/> However, he set sail one day and never came back, which prompted Queen Ambi to begin a project that would guide the Captain home from his lost adventure: to construct an immense tower that would be tall enough so that it could see out all across the land and act as a large beacon that would guide the Captain to [[Labrynna]]. Unbeknown to Queen Ambi, Captain originally vanished in Ambi's time because he and his crew got trapped in the [[Sea of Storms]] in the course of his exploration and could not get out.<ref>{{Cite|Sailin' the seas is every man's dream! It was great to so gallantly sail off to me dreams... But we got stuck in this Sea o' Storms and can't get out!|Piratian Captain|OoA}}</ref>
 
 
In a Linked {{OoS}}, the storyline brought up but never completed in {{OoA}} of Queen Ambi's long lost lover is concluded. After clearing the [[Ancient Ruins]], Queen Ambi will be at the Samasa Desert entrance, sent there by Nayru at the queen's request.<ref>{{Cite|Why, Link! What brings you here? I asked Nayru to send me on an eye- opening journey to different lands and different ages! Traveling alone is difficult, but it is one of a queen's many roles. However... This [[Holodrum]] is a strange place. The seasons here are so fickle. It must surely bring hardship to the people... |[[Queen Ambi]]|OoS}}</ref> Ambi ends up meeting up again with the Captain, and although he says he wished he could stay,<ref>{{Cite|Ambi??? Nay, 'tis I that must be dreamin'!!! I never thought we'd meet again after so long! Even now, when I think of our parting, it pains my heart. Though many years 'ave gone by since then, you are as beautiful as ever... Ambi... I would stay 'ere with you if I could, but...sniff! Oh, Ambi!|Captain|OoA}}</ref> Ambi interrupts him and tells him she understands why he must leave her side again: he is a seafaring man and cannot live his life on land. Before departing ways again, Ambi promises the Captain that she will always be waiting for his return.<ref>{{Cite|You need not explain--I understand. You are a seafaring man and cannot live your life on land... So I shall be your port of call, waiting always for your return!|[[Queen Ambi]]|OoS}}</ref>

===''Oracle of Ages''===
 
In ''Oracle of Ages'', the Captain appears trapped in a large ring of whirlpools within the [[Sea of Storms]] in the past,<ref>{{Cite|We got stuck in this Sea o' Storms and can't get out!|Captain|OoA}}</ref> accessible after the seventh dungeon. The Captain is able to escape the sea once [[Link]] gives him the [[Zora Scale]] he obtained recently, which is a powerful charm capable of calming the seas.<ref>{{Cite|Har! Ye've got the Zora's Scale sea charm! Aye, that could calm this Sea o' Storms! 'Ow about you give me that Zora's Scale!|Captain|OoA}}</ref> The Captain declares he and his crew are off to [[Holodrum]].<ref>{{Cite|We're off to 'Olodrum, the land o' seasons!|Captain|OoA}}</ref> Before leaving, he gives Link the [[Tokay Eyeball]] as a sign of his thanks.<ref>{{Cite|ake this as a sign o' me thanks! It's the jewel called the Tokay Eyeball!|Captain|OoA}}</ref>
 
 
===''Oracle of Seasons''===
 
In ''Oracle of Seasons'', the [[Piratian Ship]] shipwrecks in [[Samasa Desert]], plunging the crew into [[Subrosia]].<ref>{{Cite|Our ship got caught in a storm and sank. When we woke, 'ere we were. Where are we? It all looks so weird.|Piratian|OoS}}</ref> Stranded, the captain and his crew take up residence in the [[House of Pirates]]. During the shipwreck, the Captain loses [[Pirate's Bell|his bell]].<ref>{{Cite|It was so stormy that Cap'n lost the bell he got from a special someone. That's a bit o' trouble...|Piratian|OoS}}</ref> He sends some members of his crew to search for it,<ref>{{Cite|I want to get back to all me mates and dig the ship free, but Cap'n said, "Don't come back 'til ya find me bell"!

Don't be silly! You ain't an experienced adventurer yet! If you 'aven't at least proven your adventurin' skills by seein' the inside o' some ruins, I've no use for you!|Captain|OoS}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|Aye, I can see it in your eyes.
