A follower of [[Maleficent]] and former captain of a steamboat, '''Pete''' has become a commander of Maleficent's [[Heartless]] army.  Pete used to live in [[Disney Castle]], but was cast into another dimension by [[King Mickey]] for causing mischief. His original name was Pegleg Pete, and he holds the distinction of being the oldest continuous Disney character, appearing as early as Walt Disney's ''Alice Comedies.'' In [[Kingdom Hearts II]], he is voiced by Jim Cummings.

Although he plays an antagonist role in Kingdom Hearts, he is mostly just a comic-relief character and doesn't pose much of a threat, as Sora himself states.

However, in his own way, Pete did serve a very unique role. In the first game, Maleficent held meetings at Hollow Bastion with the other Disney villains, in which they would receive orders from her directly. However, in the second game, Maleficent seems to have been a lot busier, looking after important matters that happened after her death. As such, she was never able to hold direct meetings, although she seems to have had connections with the other villains like [[Scar]] and [[Barbossa]]. Instead, Pete served as a sort of emissary, delivering orders or possibly recruiting allies in the field.

==History==
==History==
Many, many years before Kingdom Hearts II, Pete worked as the captain of a steamboat. His deck hand was none other than the future king of [[Disney Castle]], [[Mickey Mouse]]. This past association causes Pete to refer to Mickey as "the Boat-Boy King."

At some undetermined point, "a long time ago," Pete turned to evil, and King Mickey banished him to another dimension. He found aid in the form of Maleficent, who helped him escape his exile. In return, Pete became a commander in her [[Heartless]] army, and traveled around many worlds building up more and more legions of Heartless to help her plot of world-domination.

Pete is first encountered outside [[Yen Sid's Tower]], having sent in a squad of Heartless to turn the powerful sorcerer [[Yen Sid]] into a Heartless to act as Pete's bodyguard. But [[Sora]], [[Donald]] and [[Goofy]] showed up, informing him of Maleficent's demise, and Pete fled.

Pete's fear of Organization XIII, as opposed of Maleficent's delusory confidence, seems well-founded and his attempts to flee when facing the Nobodies may have been, in a way, the rational decision on his part.
