==Biography== | |||
==={{PH|-}}=== | |||
{{Term|PH|Linebeck}} is the captain of the {{Term|PH|SS Linebeck|link}}, which {{Term|PH|Link|link}} uses to travel the {{Term|PH|World of the Ocean King|link}} for the full course of the game.<ref>{{Cite|The SS Linebeck came equipped with this average anchor.|N/A|PH}}</ref> {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} travels the world seeking treasure, which seems to be his driving force in everything he does, including accompanying {{Term|PH|Link}}.<ref name= "Treasure">{{Cite|So you're trying to get your mitts on the treasure! ... If that's what this is about, I'm on board!|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> | |||
Prior to the events of {{PH|-}}, {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} visited {{Term|PH|Oshus|link}} and {{Term|PH|Ciela|link}} at their house on {{Term|PH|Mercay Island|link}} to ask them about the {{Term|PH|Ghost Ship|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|You mean that guy who came to visit, Grandpa? He asked about the Ghost Ship! I remember him!|Ciela|PH}}</ref> | |||
{{Term|PH|Link}} meets {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} in the {{Term|PH|Temple of the Ocean King|link}} on {{Term|PH|Mercay Island}} early in his journey. He is told about {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} by {{Term|PH|Oshus}}, an old man living on the island, who tells him to go to the port to see him.<ref>{{Cite|There is a port to the east of here. A sailor by the name of Linebeck should be there. He'll be willing to tell you more about the Ghost Ship.|Oshus|PH}}</ref> While the {{Term|PH|SS Linebeck}} is docked there, its captain has been gone, presumably to {{Term|PH|Mercay Tavern|link}}, the nearby {{Term|PH|Milk Bar|link}}.<ref>{{Cite|What? You're searching for Linebeck? The captain usually drops anchor at the milk bar, but I haven't seen him in days. Perhaps the bar owner knows where Linebeck has vanished to.|Doudo|PH}}</ref> However, upon entering it, {{Term|PH|Link}} discovers that {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} had left to the {{Term|PH|Temple of the Ocean King|display=Temple}} for treasure.<ref>{{Cite|Looking for Linebeck? Sure, I know him! And that chair there knew him recently! Linebeck just dashed out, saying he was off to the Temple of the Ocean King. I tried to stop that crazy fellow. But off he went to the north side of our isle.|Midori|PH}}</ref> | |||
{{Term|PH|Linebeck}} is then found on the first floor of the {{Term|PH|Temple of the Ocean King|display=Temple}}, trapped by spikes, and he asks {{Term|PH|Link}} to help him, saying that he hurt his ankle and could not do it himself.<ref>{{Cite|I know you're a kid and all, but try to listen up! I'm trapped in here, and I don't know what to do... Normally, I'd free myself without any problem, but... I sprained my ankle and I can't move. Will you help?|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> After being rescued, he runs off, telling {{Term|PH|Link}} to find the {{Term|PH|Sea Chart|link}} he was looking for inside. | |||
Eventually, {{Term|PH|Link}} and {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} agree to work together, sailing onward to the {{Term|PH|Ghost Ship}}, {{Term|PH|Link}} to rescue {{Term|PH|Tetra|link}}, and {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} to investigate the rumors of treasure on it.<ref name= "Treasure"/> After it is revealed that the treasure of the {{Term|PH|Ghost Ship}} never existed, {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} decides to no longer allow {{Term|PH|Link}} to use his ship.<ref>{{Cite|This is some kind of sick joke, old man! The treasure! What about all the TREASURE! That was the only reason I put my life on the line! And now there's no treasure? Well, I...QUIT!|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> However, {{Term|PH|Oshus}}, later revealed to be the {{Term|PH|Oshus||display= Ocean King}}, promises to grant him one wish if he continues to help {{Term|PH|Link}}.<ref>{{Cite|No, no. I would never ask you to do this for free. If you help us defeat Bellum... I will grant you one wish. What do you say to that?|Oshus|PH}}</ref> {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} has an immediate change of heart when faced with the fact that he could have any treasure in the world, and quickly moves out to continue the journey.<ref>{{Cite|HEY! Quit standing around, kid! The Ocean King is in trouble! Ship out, kid! Anchors aweigh! I said, MOVE IT!|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> | |||

Near the end of the game, {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} and {{Term|PH|Link}} board the {{Term|PH|Ghost Ship}} after attacking it, though the {{Term|PH|SS Linebeck}} becomes sunken in the fight. Suddenly, {{Term|PH|Link}} is captured by {{Term|PH|Bellum|link}}, the monster who controlled the {{Term|PH|Ghost Ship}} and was behind the petrification of {{Term|PH|Tetra}}. A terrified {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} uses the {{Term|PH|Phantom Sword|link}} dropped by {{Term|PH|Link}} to stab the weakened {{Term|PH|Bellum}} in one of his tentacles, freeing {{Term|PH|Link}}. However, {{Term|PH|Bellum}} manages to attack {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} and possess him,<ref>{{Cite|Are you OK? Linebeck! You were possessed by Bellum!|Ciela|PH}}</ref> turning him into a monstrous knight akin to a {{Term|PH|Phantom|link}}, and forces {{Term|PH|Link}} to fight him. {{Term|PH|Link}} eventually triumphs, defeating {{Term|PH|Bellum}} without injuring {{Term|PH|Linebeck}}, freeing him. {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} seems disgusted with himself for attacking {{Term|PH|Link}}, even though he had the excuse of being possessed.<ref>{{Cite|Oh, kid, I mean... Link! I'm sorry! I know I was possessed by that monster... But to think that I...|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> However, {{Term|PH|Link}} and {{Term|PH|Ciela}} forgive him.<ref>{{Cite|Shush, Linebeck! If you hadn't stood up to Bellum when you did... Who knows what might have happened to us!|Ciela|PH}}</ref> | |||
During the end of the game, {{Term|PH|Oshus}} in his true form as the {{Term|PH|Oshus||display= Ocean King}}, asks {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} to tell him what his promised wish was.<ref>{{Cite|I have to make good on a promise I made to you. I grant you one wish.|Oshus|PH}}</ref> Instead of treasure as the others were expecting, {{Term|PH|Linebeck}}'s only wish is to have his previously sunken boat fixed.<ref>{{Cite|Well, I guess, if I have to... If you insist... Can you bring back my ship? The one that sank?|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> This shocks the others, but his wish is granted, and the {{Term|PH|SS Linebeck}} is restored.<ref>{{Cite|What? That's it? You know, even if you ask for treasure later, that's it!|Oshus|PH}}</ref> The final scene of the game is shows {{Term|PH|Linebeck}}'s boat sailing away and tooting its horn. | |||
[[File:PH Linebeck Hiding from Jolene.png|thumb|right|250px|{{Term|PH|Linebeck}} coming out of hiding place after {{Term|PH|Jolene}} leaves the {{Term|PH|SS Linebeck}}]] | |||
People on the islands {{Term|PH|Link}} visits seem to have a respect or admiration for {{Term|PH|Linebeck}}, calling him brave and wishing to travel the seas like him.<ref>{{Cite|But rumors that the Ghost Ship has returned have all but shut down our harbor! Except for one brave soul who recently docked his ship, that is.|Fuchiko|PH}}</ref> However, {{Term|PH|Link}} and {{Term|PH|Ciela}} see a different side of him, different from the persona he puts up as a brave adventurer. Instead, {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} shows himself to be for the most part a coward, running away from trouble and staying with his boat instead of going into the dungeons with {{Term|PH|Link}}.<ref>{{Cite|What are you doing? Hurry up! We'd be done already if I was the one out there! But someone needs to stay here and look after the ship. A shame, really!|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> | |||
{{Term|PH|Ciela}} and {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} also constantly fight throughout the course of the game. The two rarely call each other by their real names, instead using insulting nicknames, and are almost cruel to each other at points. However, by the end of the game, they have reluctantly gained respect for each other. | |||
Because he travels with {{Term|PH|Linebeck}}, {{Term|PH|Link}} meets {{Term|PH|Jolene|link}}, a pirate girl who travels the seas to get revenge on him. When she spots the {{Term|PH|SS Linebeck}}, she immediately attacks and ambushes it, fighting {{Term|PH|Link}} while {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} hides in a crate to watch.<ref name="Inspector"/> Eventually, {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} tells {{Term|PH|Link}} how he met {{Term|PH|Jolene}}. At one point in the past, he had accidentally saved her from a monster that he was trying to escape. Because of this he and {{Term|PH|Jolene}} became friends and sailed together for a while, until {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} stole some of her treasure and ran away, which caused {{Term|PH|Jolene}} to seek revenge.<ref>{{Cite|Well, if I'm being totally honest here, I was just trying to get away, see. I sort of lost control of my ship, and it just happened to strike the beast... So after that, Jolene and I traveled together for a time, but... Pretty soon, I realized that the two of us were from different worlds. Yeah... It's kind of embarrassing, but she was a LOT tougher than I. Plus, I just wasn't cut out for the rough-and-tumble life of a pirate! Yeah, I always preferred the laid-back style of just sneaking off with treasure. Anyway, Jolene and I started seeing less and less of each other... I knew I had to end it, and well...you know... Well... I made off with some of her treasure...|Linebeck|PH}}</ref> After a final match, {{Term|PH|Jolene}} tells {{Term|PH|Link}} that he has eyes like the man who captivated her and tells {{Term|PH|Linebeck}} to take notes, which hints at an emotional attachment she holds for {{Term|PH|Linebeck}}.<ref>{{Cite|There is something about your stubborn personality that...draws me. The one who captivated me so long ago had that same look in his eyes.|Jolene|PH}}</ref> | |||

So? Find any treasure?! You want to explore a bit more?|Linebeck|SSBU}}</ref> | |||
