Background[]
History[]
According to the legend revealed by the Pirate Mummy, the Pirate Pharaoh once ruled over Pharaoh Valley with cruelty and magic, and despised intruders into his kingdom. While the Pharaoh is arrogant and intimidating, it is later revealed that he is actually a kind and prideful ruler of the Never Nile before being sealed away by the wicked Queen Patracleo, before she locked all the waters of the Never Nile away in a mountain.
Personality[]
The Pirate Pharaoh is very arrogant, egotistical and vain, boasting his power and lording his title as Pharaoh over everyone, thinking very little of the feelings of others at times. Even after reconciling with Jake and his crew during his debut, he still thinks somewhat little of them despite the numerous times the young pirates have help him. He believes as pharaoh, all who reside within the Never Land Desert must follow his command without question. When refused, he can be short-tempered and even threatening, using force to those who refuse as seen in the episode "Mummy First Mate", when the Pirate Mummy initially declined the Pharaoh's offer to be his first mate and join him on his treasure hunt.
Powers and Abilities[]
With the power of his magical crook and flail, the Pirate Pharaoh can bring the dead back to life, as seen when Cubby accidentally restores the pharaoh back to life in his debut. Later, the Pirate Pharaoh would use the crook and flail to bring his familiar Otaa back to life, but also give life to a sphinx and an Anubis statue. The pharaoh also has the power to summon giant scarabs and create powerful sandstorms.
Roles in the series[]
The Pirate Pharaoh first appeared in the episode "Rise of the Pirate Pharaoh", where he is accidentally awakened by Jake and his crew. At first, the pharaoh could not believe his eyes that he was finally free and wish to set his eye upon the Never Nile but since his time sealed away, the pharaoh was shocked to see that Pharaoh's Valley was nothing but a barren wasteland. After Jake and his crew defeat the Pharaoh's Anubis from destroying a mountain, the Pirate Pharaoh asks why Jake and his forces are so bent on stopping him. They then accused the pharaoh for being evil, but the Pirate Pharaoh reveals he is not evil and only wishes to restore the waters of the Never Nile to the Pharaoh's Valley, Jake and his crew felt guilty for accusing the Pirate Pharaoh of being a villain and decided to help him restore the Never Nile to make up for their mistake. Jake and his crew learned that they should not judge others before getting to know them.
The Pirate Pharaoh reappears in the episode "Dread the Pharaoh!". While playing in the desert, Otaa stumbles upon Dread the Evil Genie's bottle and releases him. Otaa was thrilled to have all the wishes he ever wanted and wished to help his master, but Dread informs Otaa that he lost his power and cannot help. Otaa soon loses interest in the ex-genie, returning to Pharaoh's side. Later, with the assistant of Scorpio, Dread manages to steal both the Pirate Pharaoh's magical crook and flail before casting Otaa and his Pharaoh out of the desert. The Pirate Pharaoh was furious at the loss of his power and kingdom and did not know what to do, but Otaa suggests getting Jake and his crew help to deal with Dread. The Pirate Pharaoh is last seen thanking Jake and his crew and casting Dread and Scorpio out of his kingdom.
The Pirate Pharaoh in the reappears in the episode "Mummy First Mate". The Pharaoh barges into the Pirate Mummy's tomb for the mummy, demanding he become his first mate, much to the dismay of the Pirate Mummy, who reveals he finds the Pharaoh a tad intimating.

Jake and his crew tag along to keep the peace between both the mummy and pharaoh.
