Pegleg Hastings
Peg-leg Hastings is a Jamaican pirate and one of the most wanted pirates to ever sail the seas. He is also one of the Pirate Captain's rivals. He has a peg where his right leg should be (hence his name Pegleg) and his wanted bounty is 10,000 Doubloons.
He has tried multiple times to win the Pirate Of The Year Award, but like The Pirate Captain and Cutlass Liz, he lost repeatedly to Black Bellamy, to Peg-Leg Hastings' annoyance.
Biography[]
Pegleg Hastings first appears when he crashed through a window of the tavern The Barnacle's Face, which was where The Pirate Captain and his crew had signed up for the Pirate of the Year Award. He introduces himself and announced that he has returned from plundering from the Spanish. He then reveals and boasted the excessive amount of gold he had gotten would make him Pirate of the Year. However, he was then outshined by Cutlass Liz, who had stolen the world's biggest diamond, who appeared soon after his arrival. Hastings joined with Liz and Bellamy in mocking and laughing at the Pirate Captain for his inability to plunder and also because of the amount of bounty that was placed on his head (which was 12 doubloons and a free pen). Much later, he reappears during the Pirate of the Year Award and was of the main competitors. When the Pirate Captain was declared the winner of the Award, Pegleg Hastings was stabbed in the back by an angry and frustrated Cutlass Liz and was apparently killed. However, close to the end of the movie, he is shown to still be alive and was hanging out in The Barnacle's Face with Cutlass Liz and Black Bellamy. Piglet Hastings then watched and laughed at the latter when his Pirate of the Year Award was taken from him by the Pirate King.
Relationships[]
The Pirate Captain[]
As one of the highly successful pirates in the movie, he is greatly arrogant and prideful where his arrogance also caused him to act as one of The Pirate Captain's unmerciful tormentors--often mocking and belittling the captain for being the most pathetic pirate to ever live, with a very poor bounty reward of merely 12 doubloons to boot. It is possible he might have had a change of heart and started respecting The Pirate Captain at the end of the movie after the Pirate Captain defeated Queen Victoria.
Black Bellamy[]
Being the most infamous and popular pirate in the world (until he was surpassed by the Pirate Captain), Hastings held great respect for Bellamy and even joined him in bullying The Pirate Captain along with Cutlass Liz for the captain's pitiful status of being the most unsuccessful pirate to ever exist, and often laughed hysterically whenever Black Bellamy insulted The Pirate Captain. However, he soon lost all respect for Bellamy and started mocking him as well when he witnessed The Pirate King forcefully strip Bellamy of his trophy after The Pirate Captain beat Queen Victoria and gained The Pirate King's admiration. This results in Bellamy getting put in a hopelessly humiliated state, which prompts both Hastings and Liz to laugh at him.
Cutlass Liz[]
Despite being a competitor in the awards, Hastings is on very good terms with Liz and sometimes interacts with her in a friendly way even when she brings loot much better than his. The feeling is quite mutual as well, albeit not so much, as Liz doesn't seem to have any qualms about skewering him with her cutlass when she's angered. At the end of the movie, Cutlass Liz and Pegleg Hastings are seen laughing at Bellamy when the Pirate King takes away the award from Bellamy.
