'''Pete''' is a former steamboat captain, who became a follower of [[Maleficent]] and a commander of her [[Heartless]] army in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. Pete used to live in [[Disney Town]], but was cast into another dimension by [[Minnie Mouse|Queen Minnie]] for causing mischief.  

Although he plays an antagonistic role in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', he is mostly just a comic-relief character and doesn't pose much of a threat, as [[Sora]] himself states. As Sora puts it, Pete's "not smart enough to tie his own shoes".

However, in his own way, Pete did serve a 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 [[Captain Barbossa|Barbossa]]. Instead, Pete served as a sort of emissary, delivering orders or possibly recruiting allies in the field.

Pete is a minor antagonist in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]'', and makes an appearance in  ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' as Captain Justice and Captain Dark, both as a character and as a [[Dimension Link]].

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===

''Steamboat Willie (1928)''

''A tough and mean former steamboat captain. Donald and Goofy know Pete real well - he's so bad that King Mickey was forced to banish him to another dimension.''

''Maleficent found Pete there and helped him escape from exile. Since then, he's been traveling the worlds, assembling an army of Heartless for Maleficent. It's pretty certain that the two of them are planning to take over and rule all the worlds.''

''Steamboat Willie (1928)''

''King Mickey's nemesis. Pete is collecting an army of Heartless and helping Maleficent in her scheme to take over all the worlds. He's also lending Hades a hand with his collection of Heartless.''

''Pete's using the Heartless to get control over all the worlds.''

''He's helping Scar's phantom, too. Seems like Pete's trying to cover all his bases.''

;Timeless River

''Steamboat Willie (1928)''

''King Mickey's old nemesis. He traveled back in time on Maleficent's orders.''

''As part of Maleficent's scheme to take over Disney Castle, Pete plans to destroy the Cornerstone of Light. Without the Cornerstone, Disney Castle will be defenseless.''

''Steamboat Willie (1928)''

''Pete's been a thorn in King Mickey's side ever since the days the King served on Pete's steamboat.''

''Now Pete's teamed up with Captain Barbossa and his men. He's planning something bad - that much is certain.''

*'''Captain Justice'''

''Pete -- Disney Town's biggest trouble maker -- in disguise. The truth-and-justice shtick is just a ploy to garner votes and win him the Million Dreams Award prize.''

''Sadly, this particular "hero" is better known for his deeds of derring-don't.''

*'''Captain Dark'''

''A "secret" identity assumed by Pete, Disney Town's biggest troublemaker. He is pretending to be a shadowy hero to garner votes and win the Million Dreams Award prize.''

''Unfortunately, he's more shady than shadowy, and there's nothing heroic about him.''

Many, many years before ''[[Kingdom Hearts (game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', 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."

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===

{{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 Captain Justice and Captain Dark. Captain Dark and Captain Justice are supposed to be two different people played as Pete who are entering into the Million Dreams Celebration in Disney Town. The goal is to get as many popularity votes as possible to win the Million Dreams Award.

He became Captain Justice to help people in order to gain popularity votes so that he could win the [[Million Dream Award]], but whenever someone needed help, he used an excuse and ran away.

After Queen Minnie announces that Terra, Aqua, and Ven win the award, Pete jumps on stage and creates an uproar and he is hauled away by the [[Brooms]], who are also guards. He is sent into the dark realm by Queen Minnie where he hears Maleficent's voice telling him that she can free him if he helps her conquer the worlds. She then opens the dark corridor and Pete walks into it and vanishes from his prison.

===Between ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' and ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''===

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

While searching for Jafar's Lamp in [[Agrabah]], Pete is followed by [[Axel]] and [[Roxas]] when they come across the villain in the Marketplace as he was looking for a secret entrance out of town to the [[Cave of Wonders]]. A mini-game then begins, Roxas having to stay out of Pete's sight. Pete eventually escapes [[Organization XIII]]'s sights, not appearing until Roxas finds him during another mission in Agrabah, this time with [[Xion]]. While investigating the [[Cave of Wonders]], ending up battling him.

Later, Pete appears in [[Neverland]], making fake treasure maps for [[Captain Hook]] to follow, relying on the pirate's greed to conjure up tons of Heartless in his mad quest for riches. Roxas winds up destroying these Heartless anyway, and Pete's manipulation of Hook eventually leads to the creation of the [[Ruler of the Sky]], Pete's "Prize Heartless", yet that too is defeated by Roxas.

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===

While outside [[Mysterious Tower|Yen Sid's Tower]], having sent in a squad of Heartless to turn the powerful sorcerer [[Yen Sid]] into a Heartless to act as his bodyguard, Pete is confronted by Sora's group. After [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]] explain who is is to Sora, Peter gloats on how he and Maleficent are going to rule the worlds until learning of Maleficent's demise and summoning the a group of Heartless to avenge her. However, after the fight, Sora's group run into the town, leaving Pete to lose his temper out of being ignored.

He returned to Hollow Bastion to see if what he'd heard was true and found the fortress devoid of activity, until Maleficent's pet raven, Diablo appeared, a precursor to her own return. When she finally made her way back, he informed her of the breakdown of her villain's alliance, and the pair set their sights on raising more Heartless and finding a new castle.

Pete was present to help [[Hades]] by kidnapping [[Megara]] and distracting [[Hercules]] and Sora long enough for Hades to send the [[Hydra]] to the Coliseum, and Barbossa by calling on the Illuminator to help Barbossa fight Sora and [[Jack Sparrow]] - but he doesn't fight in this world - with their respective attempts to snuff out their enemies, but all of their plots ended in failure. After being admonished by Maleficent, he began pining for the old days, causing a portal to [[Timeless River]] to open up. Going back into the past to steal Disney Castle's treasured Cornerstone of Light, which would enable Maleficent to take it over, Pete found unexpected resistance in the form of the Keyblade Master, and himself from the past.

By that point, Past-Pete had not yet turned evil, and the heroes thwarted the scheme, though Sora never considered Pete much of a threat due to Pete's incompetence (Sora once described him as "Not smart enough to tie his own shoes"). He later appears, in the form of a lion, aiding Scar in the plan to take over the [[Pride Lands]], suceeding in turning Scar into a Heartless and thus putting the Pridelands in danger. He also tried to retrieve Jafar's lamp in Agrabah which ended in predictable results.

During the invasion of Hollow Bastion, Pete fled when he saw the Nobodies. He and Maleficent turned up one last time in The [[Castle That Never Was]], seeking to take it for their own. When [[Ansem the Wise]]'s machine to encode Kingdom Hearts exploded, it caused the creation of thousands of Heartless. Knowing that the Keyblade Master and his friends were the only ones who could stop [[Xemnas]], Maleficent volunteered to hold off the Heartless, on the condition that when they'd destroyed them all the Castle would be hers. Pete suggested fleeing, causing Maleficent to dismiss him, but a conversation with Mickey convinced him to stand and fight.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''===

Having apparently survived the destruction of The Castle that Never Was, Pete later ended up 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 in a different location. He called Maleficent to him, and the two decided that the data world could be used for their plans to plunge the world in darkness.

Pete makes his first reappearance in the data versions of the Olympus Coliseum and Agrabah, and then the virtual Hollow Bastion. He takes the incarnation of Jiminy's Journal with him and makes the Data Sora fight him. In Episode 7 when the Journal is completely debugged and restored, Pete and Maleficent are apparently erased from existence.

However, in Episode 8, he is seen alongside other characters, such as Aladdin and Naminé, implying that he (and Maleficent) survived. However, whether or not it was just a Data Pete remains unknown.

Pete is very mean, selfish and, shown at the Battle of 1000 Heartless, cowardly. He usually is scared of someone that is powerful (shown at Olympus Coliseum when he wanted to leave). He is willing to follow orders from villains (i.e. Maleficent) but not heroes (i.e. King Mickey). He sometimes tries to play tough and will never admit that he is weak. He has the tendency to insult others and runs from battles that he loses. Though Pete appears incompetent, his heart has strangely been strong enough to resist the darkness.

 

Pete is a portly, black furred, anthropomorphized cat (often confused for a dog). Like [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]], he wears a heavily modified version of his usual outfit in the modern cartoons; in Pete's case, suspenders and a shirt. He wears what seems to be armor colored in shades of blue and purple overtop a red, short-sleeved shirt with a vertical pink stripe descending from the neck. He wears navy blue and white sneakers with light blue fronts and two periwinkle straps keeping each one secure. His pants are also navy blue, with light blue lining, purple lower legs, and two enormous pouches on either front side. These pouches are attached to his pants by four pins, both sporting a silver, horizontal zipper. The most distinguishing feature of these pants is the comically large zipper going down the front and reaching around to the back side of the pants.

He wears two navy blue pauldrons, each sporting two cyan bumps and a periwinkle area near on the lower section on each shoulder. Two gold buttons at the top of Pete's pants connect to two blue suspenders that intersect over his chest before connecting to two similar, albeit smaller buttons on his shoulder pauldrons. Pete also wears a pair of fingerless gauntlets. The wrists of these gauntlets are light blue with a pale yellow semi-circle on top, while the gloves are periwinkle with a bump on each knuckle. There is a dark blue-green design on the back of each glove, descending from each knuckle to the end of the glove.

As Captain Justice, Pete dons a white jumpsuit with gold highlights and two large, orange lightning bolt patterns on its front. He has a black undershirt, orange straps on his upper arms, and an orange cape pinned to the shoulders of his jumpsuit. His gloves are white, gold, and black with a silver band around each of his wrists. His boots are black with silver soles, gold straps on the legs, and orange lightning bolts decorating them. The upper half of Pete's face is covered by a white mask with a red arrowhead bent into a shape resembling the letter "P". He also wears a teal belt with silver pins lining it and a red and yellow buckle. The buckle is a stylized version of the letters "C" and "J".  

 

==In Battle==

{{main|Pete (Boss)}}

Another attack involves throwing a close-range "temper tantrum".

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 strained by the 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. And he obviously has above-average strength, and unlike Maleficent, was strong enough to resist the darkness.

===D-Link===

In the European and North American version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Pete is a D-Link ally to the player. He's the only D-Link that needs to be unlocked. To unlock, play the [[Command Board]], if you or another player lands on a [[Command Board#SpecialPanels|Special Panel]], and either Pete as Captain Justice or Captain Dark appears, get him to follow you if he isn't by passing the player that he is currently following. This allows the chance to unlock the D-Link.

His original name was Peg Leg Pete, and he holds the distinction of being the oldest continuous Disney character, appearing as early as Walt Disney's ''Alice Comedies.'' He is often times related to being the enemy of [[Mickey Mouse]] but in the modern days, he is an enemy to Goofy. While most portrayals of Pete give him an antagonistic role, in some cartoons, he was shown to have a somewhat caring side especially to his children in the show Goof Troop and to his son in the Goofy Movies and most recently in the children's show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

*"''Well, if it ain't [[Ventus|the last kid]] Captain Justice saved.''"

*"''See, it don't matter how tough [[Yen Sid|he]] is, once he's a [[Heartless]] he'll do as I say!''"

*"''What's wrong, can't fight in the [[Underworld]]? Well, boo-hoo!''"

*"''Oh, your kingdom is gonna rise again! But this time as the [[Pride Lands]] of [[Darkness]]!''"

*"''What are [[Maleficent|you]], nuts? We're never gonna win! I don't know about you, but I'm outta here sister!''"
