The Lookout on Mêlée Island was a balding elderly man that was handpicked by the island's Sheriff, Fester Shinetop, to be the watchman of the island, despite having poor eyesight. He was usually located on the peak of the high mountain, which was on the path to the town below. He was close to Elaine Marley and mentioned to her the arrival of Guybrush Threepwood to the island.
