| - Captain Jack Knife is a Pirate Captain NPC who resides at the Pirate Camp in Gnarled Forest. On his sixteenth birthday, Captain Jack Knife was given the majestic Rosebrick ship by his Ma. He loved this ship but lost it in a rock-paper-scissors match with his arch-nemesis, Admiral Perriwinklebeard McCook. Jack Knife was later made captain of the Black Seas Barracuda, which once belonged to the famous pirate Captain Roger Redbeard. With this mighty pirate ship under his command, he proudly plundered the seas of LEGO Universe. He buried his most prized possession in Avant Gardens near the Launch Area. However, his crew made the mistake of believing that Maelstrom Crystals were valuable treasure and loaded the ship with large treasure chests full of the crystals. The Kraken sensed the Maelstrom's presence in the ship's cargo and attacked, throwing the Black Seas Barracuda and its crew into a tree at Pirate Cove. Since then, Captain Jack Knife has been unable to get his ship down from the tree. Worse, the Maelstrom Crystals infected most of his crew, turning them into Stromling Pirates and Stromling Admirals. Unable to get his ship out of the tree, Captain Jack Knife has instead set up the Pirate Camp around the tree. At one point, he secured the Brig Rock Tunnel so that it could only be accessed by friends of pirates. Although Venture League promised to help the pirates, Jack Knife was disappointed to learn that all they received was a launchpad to Nimbus Station but declared that the pirates can help themselves as long as their cannons still fire. Captain Jack Knife has a rivalry with Paradox Agent Numb Chuck. He once traveled to the Great Tree and stole Numb Chuck's Maelstrom Staff, hiding it in a treasure chest guarded by Ninja-detecting parrots at the Pirate Camp. He also captured four Ninjas named Hashi, Mashi, Zashi, and Steve in Gnarled Forest, though learned from them how to properly fight a Stromling Admiral. Captain Jack Knife meets players at the Pirate Camp and challenges them to score 25,000 points in the Cannon Cove Shooting Gallery. He rewards successful players with the Pirate Hook, which can be used to access the Brig Rock Tunnel and Crocodile Corner. Captain Knife reveals that he cut up the map to his most prized possession and gave the pieces to the Pirate Spies Georgie Timbershivers, Robbie Jibhanger, and Gary Grogowitz, only to learn that the three spies got lost in Forbidden Valley. He sends players to retrieve the map pieces, which he puts together and sends players to dig up his most prized possession in Avant Gardens using a Pet. After players dig up his most prized possession, Captain Jack Knife reveals that it is a photograph of his Ma, who taught him everything he knows. He sends players a letter in their Mailbox explaining that he considers the picture of Ma worth a lot more to him than gold and jewels. However, he wishes to keep this a secret from the crew, showing that although he is no longer a high sea pirate, his pride stays the same. According to Hael Storm, Captain Jack Knife is very knowledgeable in the fields of locks. Players who want to build a Property Safe must seek out Jack Knife. The Pirate Captain gives them supposedly Ninja-proof dial locks for their safe. When a Cannon Cove Shooting Gallery event was scheduled for the Nexus Force Championship, Captain Jack Knife was interviewed by a reporter from the Nexus Tower Tribune. Jack Knife denied any rumors that the Shooting Gallery would be altered for the championship. He also provided advertisements for Simon Soupspoon and Chantey Shanty, expecting business for them during the championship event.
