History[]

Captain Flynn is the most famous pirate to ever sail the Never Sea, much to Captain Hook's dismay. To pirates, and the inhabitants of Never Land altogether, Flynn is viewed as a heroic celebrity, having many fans and admirers. He sails brilliantly across both land and sea on his mechanical ship, the Barracuda, which has built-in wheels that activate when on a terrain. He is accompanied by his loyal camel companion Camille.

Flynn meets Camille after his ship the Barracuda get caught in a powerful storm that picks up the Barracuda, leaving Captain Flynn shipwrecked in the middle of the Never Land Desert. Desperate for water, Captain Flynn tries to find some by traversing the desert, but during Flynn's search, he becomes lost within in the desert, and since the heat of the desert was taking its toll on him, he could not recall where the Barracuda is and soon collapses due to intense heat of the Never Land Desert. When all looked lost, Captain Flynn was saved by Camille, who led him to a source of water within the desert and they became friends ever since.
