Quotes
When Tavernkeep is present: If the player is female/Any gender: During a Party
 * "Stay off me booty, ya scallywag!"
 * "I'm no landlubber, but it's better to have lubbed and lost than never to have lubbed at all." (Reference to "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" from Alfred Tennyson's In Memoriam A.H.H.)
 * "YAR! Funny ye should be mentionin' parrots b'cause...um... What t'were we talkin' 'bout?"
 * "*Yarr Blarr Harrdarr*" (Most likely drunken speech)
 * "What in blazes are ye talkin' about? Moby Dick is mine!"
 * "About time we gotta barkeep around here! Me rum was almost gone!"
 * "[Name of Player], Ye be one o' the finest lookin' lassies this here captain's seen in many a fortnight!"
 * "After all that cake, you might have to call me White Beard for a while."

Trivia

 * Many of the Pirate's possible names allude to historical captains- Edward "Blackbeard" Teach, Oruç "Redbeard" Reis David as in Davy Jones, Captain Henry Morgan, and the illustrious James T. Kirk are all paid homage through the Pirate, though the "pirate" status of many of these figures is contested to this day.
 * The name Jake could be a reference to the Jake and the Never Land Pirates musical.
 * Rarely, the Pirate and the Guide can have the same name (Jake or Jack).
 * During a Party, other than donning a party hat, his sleeves also appear different.
 * The flaming pumpkins from The Horseman's Blade will home in on the Pirate even though he is not an enemy.
