===''Sonic Rush Adventure''===
While searching for the Jeweled Scepter in [[Blaze's world]], Whisker and his crew caused havoc on the seas, spreading their hostile forces everywhere. At some point, Whisker and his forces set up their hideout on [[Pirates' Island]], remodeling the local ruins to their needs.

In ''[[Sonic Rush Adventure]]'', Whisker and his crew resumed their search for the [[Jeweled Scepter]]. On the way, Whisker learned that [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] was putting a wrench in his plans by messing with his forces. Eventually, Whisker and his crew found the Jeweled Scepter in [[Coral Cave]], but as he had [[Mini & Mum]] seize the scepter, Sonic, [[Marine the Raccoon|Marine]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] appeared. As Whisker told Sonic how he had been a thorn in his side, Marine pulled Whisker's whiskers, sending him into a fury. He then barely avoided a surprise attack from [[Blaze the Cat]]. Amidst the heroes' confusing reunion, Whisker had the [[Ghost Kraken]] keep Sonic and Blaze occupied while he and his crew fled with the Jeweled Scepter.
   
  +
Later at [[Haunted Ship]], Whisker and his crew were found by Sonic and his allies, though Whisker had trouble remembering them. As Blaze demanded the Jeweled Scepter back, Whisker had the [[Ghost Pirate]] attack them. When the robot lost though, Whisker fled with his crew.
Eventually, Whisker and his crew found the Jeweled Scepter in [[Coral Cave]]. There, he ordered [[Mini & Mum]] to seize the scepter when suddenly Sonic, [[Marine the Raccoon|Marine]] and [[Miles "Tails" Prower|Tails]] arrived. As Whisker told how Sonic had been a thorn in his side, Marine pulled his whiskers in fascination, sending Whisker into a fury and knocking her away. He then barely avoided a surprise attack from [[Blaze the Cat]] before sending the [[Ghost Kraken]] to fight both Sonic and Blaze while he and his crew escaped with the Jeweled Scepter.
 
   
Whisker and his crew later came to [[Haunted Ship]], where they met Sonic and the others soon after, though Whisker had trouble remembering them. As Blaze demanded the Jeweled Scepter back, Whisker had the [[Ghost Pirate]] attack them. After the Ghost Pirate was defeated, Whisker escaped with his crew.
+
Whisker and his crew soon after came to [[Blizzard Peaks]] where they met the [[Vikings]] and fought them. In the end, Whisker won by freezing the Vikings solid with machines. When Sonic and his friends found the frozen Vikings, Whisker showed up and took responsibility for the Vikings' state, though Mini had to remind him of why he did it. Whisker then send the [[Ghost Whale]] on them, but when Sonic and Blaze destroyed it, he and his crew retreated.
   
At leaving Haunted Ship, Whisker and his crew came to [[Blizzard Peaks]] where they ended up fighting the [[Vikings]]. Whisker, however, ended the fight by freezing the Vikings solid with machines. When Sonic and his friends arrived at Blizzard Peak and saw the frozen Vikings, Whisker appeared before them and proclaimed he was responsible, though Mini had to remind him why he did it. Whisker the send the [[Ghost Whale]] to freeze them, but when Sonic and Blaze destroyed it, Whisker and his crew retreated.
+
At another point after leaving Haunted Ship, Whisker and his crew went to [[Sky Babylon]] to destroy any clues to their hideout, only to meet Sonic and his friends there. As the heroes ended up ignoring him, Whisker was almost goaded into a fight but was reminded of his mission by he minions and tried to escape the heroes. Eventually. Whisker retreated with his crew.
   
 
Eventually, Whisker and his crew withdrew to Pirates' Island. When Sonic and his friends tried to access the island through its doors, Whisker gloated on the other side about how they would never get to through the doors, but accidentally blabbered out how to unlock them. When Sonic, Blaze and Tails finally confronted Whisker on Pirates' Island, Whisker and his crew gave them a bellicose presentation, though Sonic and co. thought Whisker was a joke. As Whisker's right-hand man [[Johnny]] then showed up to explain what his enemies thought of him, Whisker teamed up with Johnny against Sonic and Blaze, but lost.
At another point after leaving Haunted Ship, Whisker and his crew traveled to [[Sky Babylon]] to destroy any clues to where their hideout were, only to Sonic and his friends there. As Sonic's group ended up ignoring him however, Whisker was almost goaded into a fight but was reminded of his and escaped. After being chased across Sky Babylon though, Whisker decided to retreat with his crew.
 
   
 
As he was cornered by Sonic and co., Whisker was abandoned by Johnny. However, Whisker refused to return the Jeweled Scepter in fear of Eggman Nega's wrath. Thanks to Mini and Mum though, Whisker fled through a secret tunnel, only to meet Marine, who had come to stop him alone. Escaping to on his ship, Whisker caught Marine and threatened to torture her with tickling (to which she responded, "anything but that!"). When Sonic and Blaze then came to rescue Marine, Whisker demanded they swore loyalty to him if they wanted him to freed her. However, Whisker was tricked by Tails into believing that the Jeweled Scepter was somewhere else, allowing Sonic and Blaze to rescue Marine from the [[Ghost Titan]]. When the Ghost Titan was destroyed, the entire ship exploded and Whisker apparently sank to the bottom of the sea with his crew.
Following these events, Whisker and his crew withdrew to Pirates' Island. When Sonic and his friends tried to access the island through its doors, Whisker appeared and gloated about how they would never get to through the doors, but accidentally blabbered out how to unlock them.

And so, it is I! The Dread Pirate Whisker!


— Captain Whisker, Sonic Rush Adventure

Captain Whisker (ウィスカー船長 Uisukā Senchou?) is the primary antagonist of Sonic Rush Adventure.[2] He is a villainous robotic pirate who is somewhat hard to detest due to his clownish nature.[3] His purpose was to find and obtain the Jeweled Scepter, but he was defeated by Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies.

Appearance

Captain Whisker is a robot that has an oval body. In the head, he wears a red and gold hat, with the symbol of a white skull with a white mustache. Only in the left eye, it has celestial, while the other does not, reflecting the band of the eye that some pirates use. The Mustache torso and his hands are covered by something like a red and gold coat, with sleeves in the shape of a skull. He also wears a brown belt.

History

Past

Captain Whisker was created at some point by Dr. Eggman Nega.[1] He was subsequently put in charge of his own robot pirate crew, miniature army and navy forces, and was assigned by Eggman Nega and Dr. Eggman to find the Jeweled Scepter. Scouring Blaze's world for the scepter, Whisker and his crew would cause havoc on the seas and spread their forces everywhere. At some point, they set up their hideout on Pirates' Island, remodeling the local ruins to suit their needs. Eventually, Whisker got the Jeweled Scepter, but somehow lost it.[4]

Sonic Rush Adventure

In Sonic Rush Adventure, Whisker and his crew resumed their search for the Jeweled Scepter. On the way, Whisker learned that Sonic the Hedgehog was putting a wrench in his plans by messing with his forces. Eventually, Whisker and his crew found the Jeweled Scepter in Coral Cave, but as he had Mini & Mum seize the scepter, Sonic, Marine and Tails appeared. As Whisker told Sonic how he had been a thorn in his side, Marine pulled Whisker's whiskers, sending him into a fury. He then barely avoided a surprise attack from Blaze the Cat. Amidst the heroes' confusing reunion, Whisker had the Ghost Kraken keep Sonic and Blaze occupied while he and his crew fled with the Jeweled Scepter.

Later at Haunted Ship, Whisker and his crew were found by Sonic and his allies, though Whisker had trouble remembering them. As Blaze demanded the Jeweled Scepter back, Whisker had the Ghost Pirate attack them. When the robot lost though, Whisker fled with his crew.

Whisker and his crew soon after came to Blizzard Peaks where they met the Vikings and fought them. In the end, Whisker won by freezing the Vikings solid with machines. When Sonic and his friends found the frozen Vikings, Whisker showed up and took responsibility for the Vikings' state, though Mini had to remind him of why he did it.

As the heroes ended up ignoring him, Whisker was almost goaded into a fight but was reminded of his mission by he minions and tried to escape the heroes. Eventually. Whisker retreated with his crew.

Eventually, Whisker and his crew withdrew to Pirates' Island. When Sonic and his friends tried to access the island through its doors, Whisker gloated on the other side about how they would never get to through the doors, but accidentally blabbered out how to unlock them. When Sonic, Blaze and Tails finally confronted Whisker on Pirates' Island, Whisker and his crew gave them a bellicose presentation, though Sonic and co. thought Whisker was a joke.

After the Super Genesis Wave, though slightly unaffected, Whisker's past became nearly identical to his game counterpart. Sometime later, Whisker attempted to steal a Sol Emerald from Captain Metal, but was forced into retreat after a battle between Blaze's allies and Metal's crew.
