Captain Shellbreaker

Captain Shellbreaker is a character that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is a mobian otter and the leader of the Pirates of the Setting Dawn.

Creation and concept
Shellbreaker was designed with "cold" colors in order to reflect his secretive ruthlessness.

Appearance
Captain Shellbreaker is an average-sized and proportionated mobian with dark blue fur. He has light blue fur on his muzzle and belly, small and round ears, blue eyes, a diamond-shaped black nose, a thick tail, and two thick "whiskers" on each cheek. For attire, he wears a black eyepatch over his right eye, a white shirt, a yellow-rimmed black coat with coattails and no sleeves, and black boots and gloves with yellow rims.

Past
Long ago, Shellbreaker lead a large pirate fleet which comprised the Pirates of the Setting Dawn. At some point, he and his crew found Razor the Shark and his sister Blade on the the Knives trying to steal from them. Rather than executing them though, Shellbreaker and his crew took the siblings in as two of their own. However, Shellbreaker was eventually betrayed by his own crewmate―Abyss the Squid―when she joined up with the Eggman Empire and took a sizable portion of Shellbreaker's crew with her, leaving Shellbreak resentful over Abyss and only a few loyal crewmates left to follow him. Shellbreaker later lost Razor too when a "philosophical disagreement" between them made the crew throw Razor overboard.

Using some untranslatable charts Abyss had left behind, Shellbreaker and his crew would hunt for treasures and relics to sell to the highest bidder. Eventually, Shellbreaker and Blade came across Princess Undina of Meropis and held her for ransom. When he discovered that Undina could translate Abyss' charts however, Shellbreaker forgot the ransom and kept her on his crew as her navigator.

The Case of the Pirate Princess
Some time after capturing Undina, Shellbreaker and his crew came across an Amphibious Vehicle in the Setting Dawn. Bringing the vehicle onboard, the pirates came face-to-face with the Chaotix, Razor and Echo the Dolphin. After a brief scuffle however, Shellbreaker was dumbfound to hear that Razor wanted to rejoin the crew, while the Chaotix wanted to join him too. Although weary of the group's intentions, Shellbreaker was convinced by Mr. Bristles to let them onboard, although his warned the group of the consequences of betraying him. He then had the new recruits get accommodated onboard the Setting Dawn, with Shellbreaker himself showing Vector the Crocodile around.

Personality
Captain Shellbreaker can come off as suave and charismatic. In truth, however, he is secretly ruthless. He also has a curious habit of saying "otterly" instead of "utterly".

Powers and abilities
Captain Shellbreaker has some skills in swordsmanship, capable of deflecting one of Espio's kunai's with the tip of his sword.

Weapons
Captain Shellbreaker wields a standard-looking cutlass with a black blade and a silver guard.
