{{Q|Wearin' the mask of peace and hope...comes the fearless defender and hero of this town! It is me—Captain Justice!|Pete, as Captain Justice}}

Pete appears in Disney Town as a resident and plays under disguise as the "hero" Captain Justice and the racer Captain Dark as a scheme to win the [[Million Dreams Award]] during the Million Dreams Celebration. However, despite insisting that his guises are separate people, many of the residents do not buy the ploy. After Queen Minnie announces that [[Terra]], [[Aqua]], and [[Ven]] won the award for their good deeds, with only Aqua able to accept the prize for her friends, Pete causes an uproar.

In return for his freedom, Pete became a commander in Maleficent's Heartless army, and traveled around many worlds recruiting allies and building up more and more legions of Heartless to help her plot of universal domination (considering there is more than one world).

{{Q|Your world.....no, ALL the worlds, are gonna belong to yours truly!|Pete to Sora, Donald and Goofy.}}

Hearing rumors of the powerful sorcerer [[Yen Sid]], Pete heads to the [[Mysterious Tower]], hoping to turn him into a Heartless to serve as his bodyguard. After sending his Heartless inside, Pete giddily awaits for his new Heartless to be born. To his surprise, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrive at the tower with [[Sora]]. After the duo tell Sora about Pete's past, he gloats that the worlds will soon be his thanks to Maleficent; however, they inform him that Maleficent is dead. Angered by this news, Pete calls an army of Heartless to attack. After Pete tells them who lives in the tower, Sora, Donald, and Goofy run inside in excitement, leaving Pete to lose his temper and leave.

He next appears in [[Port Royal]], where he teams up with [[Captain Barbossa]] to lend a hand in removing the curse of the gold medallions. He warns them of the Keyblade's magic being effective on their skeletal forms. Pete also helps double-cross [[Will Turner|Will]] by leaving Heartless and rigging gunpowder barrels on the ''Interceptor'' while taking him hostage. After "the tide has changed" during Barbossa's battle with [[Jack Sparrow]], Pete summons the [[Illuminator]] Heartless to absorb moonlight to assist. However, once both the Illuminator and Barbossa are defeated, Pete flees.

Deciding to resume his quest to find Jafar's lamp and turn him into a Heartless, Pete returns to [[Agrabah]] to search the Cave of Wonders. While searching, he overhears Sora's group mention [[the Peddler]] had Jafar's lamp. Leaving a squad of Heartless to keep them busy, Pete tracks the Peddler down and chases him to the palace gates. However, just when he is about to acquire the lamp, interference from [[Iago]] and [[Genie]] causes him to lose it. After the [[Blizzard Lord and Volcanic Lord]] that he summons are defeated, he runs off in a fury.

Some time later, Pete appears in Disney Castle while King Mickey, Donald, Goofy and Jiminy were trying to uncover the secrets of the Journal. The moment they were taken to the data world, Pete was taken with them, but to a different location. He calls Maleficent to him, and the two decide that the data world could be used for their plans to plunge the world in darkness.

Pete makes his first reappearance in the data version of Olympus Coliseum, where he mistakes [[Data-Sora]] for his counterpart. He then travels to Data Agrabah, where he gives the data version of Jafar a lamp created from glitches, which gives him power over his world. Maleficent and Pete then appear together, and Maleficent destroys Data-Sora's Keyblade. They then take [[Data-Riku]] hostage, infected him with bugs. In the digital Hollow Bastion, Pete fights Data-Sora, and then forces him to fight Riku. After Sora defeats them and debugs Riku's data, the Journal begins erasing itself. Maleficent and Pete attempt to fight [[Sora's Heartless]], but are quickly defeated. Before they can be erased, however, Data-Riku retrieves them, and they return to the real world shortly before Mickey.

Having been foiled in their attempt to take the [[Datascape]], Maleficent redirected their search for the genuine [[Book of Prophecies]]; according to her, it is contained within an ancient [[Black Box]].

Maleficent and Pete travel to [[Mount Olympus]] to meet with Hades, who is planning his conquest of that world along with the titans. Maleficent assures him that she is not going to interfere with his plans and asks Hades if there is a distinctive black box on Mount Olympus and where she could find it. Hades then thinks that they might be searching for the box that [[Zeus]] hid in the ground and reveal its location to them. Later, while Sora, Donald, and Goofy are fighting the Heartless in Thebes, Maleficent and Pete appear in front of them, prompting Sora to accuse them of being responsible for the Heartless attack, but Maleficent strongly denies it. Pete observes at Sora seems weaker than the last time they faced him and suggests to Maleficent to destroy him, but the witch tells him to leave Sora as he is inconsequential to them and that they have more important affairs to attend, but not before telling them they will meet again. While digging up for the box in Thebes, Pete asks if the Box with the Book of Prophecies is real, to which Maleficent silences her minion. He later find's Pandora's box in the ground, but Maleficent orders Pete to throw it away since it is not the box they are searching for. They then leave that world, unaware that [[Xigbar]] is observing them from far.

==Personality==

Pete is very mean, selfish and, shown at various points, cowardly, with Sora describing him as a bully yet not "smart enough to tie his own shoes". He tends to get scared in the presence of characters with overwhelming power, or in situations of being outnumbered. Pete is quite loyal to Maleficent, although his cowardice interferes from time to time. He has the tendency to run at the mouth, bragging and insulting, even with people such as Hades. Whenever he is defeated, he runs off in a huff, swearing revenge. Though Pete appears incompetent, his heart has strangely been strong enough to resist the darkness.  

Besides that, he does have some magical talent, as shown when he somehow conjured a portal to the Past while reminiscing, a surprising feat for Pete, and he evidently has a strong Heart as he is likely able to use the Corridors of Darkness to travel the worlds to gather Heartless without being stained by darkness. He also seems to have some power of teleportation as when he appeared alongside Maleficent to stop the Heartless and allow Sora and his friends to continue on to battle Xemnas. He obviously has above-average strength, and unlike Maleficent, was strong enough to resist the darkness. He has also shown some decent swordsmanship as the captain of Queen Minnie's royal guard.

==Origin==

While most portrayals of Pete give him an antagonistic role, in some cartoons, he was shown to have a somewhat caring side, including to his children in the show Goof Troop,  his son in the Goofy Movies, and in the children's show ''{{w|Mickey Mouse Clubhouse}}''. His design in the Country of the Musketeers is based on his look from the film ''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers'', in which he is the main antagonist.
