"Upstarts... Nincompoops... Everywhere I go, no matter what I try, it's always pirate wannabes who meddle in my plans and ruin everything!
Well, I may have lost Elaine, and my Burning Blade, but I can still have my fun... by tearing you limb from limb!"
— LeChuck, The Lair of LeChuck

LeChuck is an NPC featured in Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island. He serves as the antagonist in the series of Tall Tales.

Lore

A Dark Deception

The Journey to Mêlée Island

When the pirates read Elaine's Letter and found some Root Beer Bottles, LeChuck appears before the pirates outside the mansion and explains that the whole act of Guybrush being the "Legend of Monkey Island" and being the Governor of Mêlée Island were part of LeChuck's plan to take over the Sea of Thieves, without the worry of Guybrush getting in his way. He also reveals that he has Pendragon's Burning Blade and he is the impostor Pirate Lord who had tricked the pirates into retrieving said sword.

Seeing that the pirates mustn't interfere in his plan, LeChuck sends his ghost pirates to deal with the pirates while he sails away to Monkey Island. But armed with the Root Beer, the pirates dispatch the Ghost pirates on their way to The International House of Mojo.

The Quest For Guybrush

As the pirates return to Mêlée Island to resume their mission to save Guybrush, LeChuck boards their ship and lets them in on his plans. While disguising as the Pirate Lord, he proposes them a deal: If they don’t meddle in his affairs and swear an oath to him, he promises to make them richer and more powerful than they’ve ever dreamed of.

As LeChuck leaves, the Pirates are unmoved by LeChuck's deal and continue their mission.

The Lair of LeChuck

Once Guybrush and the pirates reach LeChuck's ghost ship deep in the catacombs of Monkey Island, he spots them and sails away, but with the help of Elaine and Kate Capsize aboard the Headless Monkey, Guybrush and the pirates chase down LeChuck through the catacombs, cornering him in a large, lava-filled chamber, forcing him to fight back. Eventually, the Headless Monkey sinks LeChuck's ghost ship with volleys of Root Beer Cannonballs, but LeChuck is able to complete the Burning Blade, and capture Guybrush and Elaine, taking them back to Mêlée Island to orchestrate having Elaine's hand in marriage.

However, his plans were halted by Captain Kate, the Pirate Lord, and the Sea of Thieves pirates. Once LeChuck is down, he loses the Burning Blade, allowing the Pirate Lord to reclaim the blade and take the others to safety. Furious at the loss of the blade and Elaine, LeChuck proceeds to fight the Sea of Thieves pirates in one last round of Insult Sword Fighting. After he is pushed back to the front of the Scumm Bar, the pirates use Root Beer Bottles to spray LeChuck with root beer and defeat him, causing him to explode in a fireworks-like display.

Dialogue

The Journey to Mêlée Island

In the Tunnel of the Damned while travelling to Mêlée Island:

LeChuck

HA HA HA HA...

After the player discovers and picks up the contents of the Mighty Pirate Chest:

LeChuck

(LeChuck's ghost ship can be seen approaching through the window)

Drop anchor, you barnacle-brained buffoons, and prepare to make land! There's treachery afoot!

After LeChuck's arrival and the player leave the Governor's Mansion:

LeChuck

Well, well, what have we here? A unwanted intrusion into my masterful delusion!
Threepwood always was pathetically easy to manipulate. Once I'd convinced him he was a mighty pirate hero, his raging ego made all this possible.
So long as he believes he's the Legend of Monkey Island, he'll never want to leave this place. And it's all thanks to this!

LeChuck pulls out a corrupted Sword of Souls.

Pirates on your precious Sea of Thieves practically tripped over themselves to deliver me this sword...

LeChuck disguises himself as the Pirate Lord.

They couldn't wait to help their beloved Pirate Lord!
It's not about the gold, it's about the glory! Oh, the Sea of Thieves is SUCH a special place. Where our sickeningly sweet stories can last for all eternity...

LeChuck removes his disguise.

And once this Burning Blade is restored, those waters'll be mine to rule as I see fit!
So you see, I really can't let you stand in my way...
Fortunately, my skeletal shipmates have gotten mighty restless keeping watch on Threepwood.
I'm sure they'll take good care of you while i set sail... for Monkey Island!
Ha ha ha ha hah!

LeChuck turns and disappears and his ship sails away.

The Quest for Guybrush

In the Tunnel of the Damned while traveling to Mêlée Island:

Bob

(LeChuck's ship, the Death Starfish, approaches the player's ship at its port side.)

(Bob appears near the bow of the player's ship.)

(Cough) Um, hello, excuse me?

So sorry to bother you, but the Captain would like a word...

(Bob steps aside and LeChuck appears.)

LeChuck

Well now, look who's back to meddle in my affairs. Ye must be even more stupid than you look!

Threepwood belongs to me now, and that's the way he likes it!

Ye can try and talk sense into him until you're blue in the face – for all the good it'll do!

But while ye waste yer breath, I'll be doing as I please on the Sea of Thieves.

(LeChuck transforms into the Pirate Lord.)

But I can be merciful... Once I'm running the place, if ye swear an oath to follow the orders of your nefarious new Pirate Lord...

...You could become richer and more powerful than you've ever dreamed of!

I'll leave ye to consider my offer... I have work to do! Ha ha ha ha!

(LeChuck and Bob fade away.)

The Lair of LeChuck

When confronting Guybrush and Co. in the Catacombs:

Guybrush

(Guybrush removes the Navigator's Necklace)

There it is... The legendary phantom ship of the Ghost Pirate LeChuck.

Huh. Looks smaller than I remember.

(LeChuck walks out onto the ship's deck)

You better wait here while I sneak aboard and save Elaine. I'm the only one who won't get-

LeChuck

Too late, Dunkwart!

Guybrush

Caught. Huh. Guess I shouldn't have taken off the necklace.

LeChuck

You shouldn't have taken off that necklace.

Guybrush

I KNEW it!

LeChuck

And you'll never catch me now. Weigh anchor, ye cretinous cadavers, we've got what we came for!

(LeChuck sails away through the caverns)

While chasing The Death Starfish through the catacombs:

LeChuck

Upon the first encounter on the lava river

Catch me if ye can!

(The Mad Monkey approaches The Death Starfish)

Fire the cannons!

(LeChuck's cannons cause a cave-in, blocking the path for The Mad Monkey)

Upon the second encounter on the lava river

I've seen rubber duckies move faster than that old tub!

(The Mad Monkey gains ground once more)

Send them our regards!

(LeChuck causes another cave-in)

Upon the third encounter on the lava river

I know these caves like the back of me hand!

(The Mad Monkey catches up again)

Ready another volley!

(LeChuck blocks the path with rocks once again)

Upon the fourth encounter on the lava river

Chasing us'll be the last mistake ye ever make!

(The Mad Monkey draws near)

Make it rain, mateys!

(LeChuck creates yet another cave-in)

upon the final encounter on the lava river

I want that ship destroyed!

(The Mad Monkey converges on the Death Starfish)

Get them off our backs!

(The Death Starfish collapses the entrance to the lava lake)

During the battle under Monkey Island:

LeChuck

When engaging The Mad Monkey

• Soon, I shall be unstoppable...
• You and your friends are doomed!
• Give up, Threepwood! You're fighting real pirates now!
• A pile of gold to whoever sinks that ship!
• Blast them to pieces!
• I want that ship destroyed!
• Can't ye aim better than that?
• Keep firing!
• Don't let them get away!
• It'll take more than Mojo to beat me!

When retreating from the battle for the first time

I need more time, you incompetent imbeciles!

When retreating from the battle for the second time

Keep firing! We're not finished here yet!

When The Death Starfish falls

At last, it's done...

After defeating LeChuck on Monkey Island

Kate Capsize

(The Mad Monkey's Capstan is lowered by an unseen force)

Wait, who dropped our anchor?!

(LeChuck appears, hovering above the bow)

LeChuck

Hold Fast ye dull-witted do-gooders!

You'll not see the back of me so easily!

(LeChuck brandishes the Burning Blade, using its power to immobilize Guybrush and Elaine

That merry chase through the fires of Monkey Island gave me all the time I needed to complete THIS... my Burning Blade!

Elaine

Guybrush! I can't move!

Guybrush

Let GO of her, LeChuck!

LeChuck

Never! Elaine has a date with destiny. Two souls together, in harmony at last.

such a pity your friends won't be alive to see it!

(LeChuck, Guybrush, and Elaine fly upwards, disappearing in a cloud of smoke)

AH HA HA HA HAH!

When confronting LeChuck inside the Mêlée Island Church

Guybrush

(The player enters the church, and begins to silently approach the altar, where LeChuck stands opposite to Elaine, clothed in a wedding dress & veil, and Guybrush serves as the officiant)

Dearly bewitched, we are gathered here tonight to bear witness to the blessed matrimony of Elaine Marley-Threepwood and the fearsome pirate LeChuck...

LeChuck

Hurry it up Dripwart! We don't have all night.

(LeChuck notices the player, who then begins running towards him, and uses the Burning Blade to stop them in their tracks, forcing them to the ground)

Wedding crashers, eh? Well, you won't stop me this time. What good are your weapons if I can command you not to move?

Resume the ceremony!

Guybrush

Do you, Elaine, take LeChuck to be your husband, to mindlessly obey for all eternity?

Elaine

I... I...

(LeChuck raises the Burning Blade, reasserting his control over Elaine)

I do.

Guybrush

And do you LeChuck...

LeChuck

YES! After all these years, I do!

Guybrush

If anyone here objects to the eternal union of this loving couple, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.

(The Pirate Lord appears)

Pirate Lord

I OBJECT!

LeChuck

Ramsey...? Blistering bilge wipes, will these infernal interruptions never end?!

Pirate Lord

I've found you at last. The man who stole that blade and tried to play at being the Pirate Lord, just to orchestrate this sham of a marriage!

Now let them go, LeChuck. It's over.

LeChuck

Over? HAH! I'm just getting started!

(LeChuck uses the Burning Blade to force the Pirate Lord to kneel)

By coming here, you've offered yourself to me as a wedding present...

(LeChuck disguises himself as the Pirate Lord)

And once I've disposed of you, I'll be free to take your place!

Your Pirate Legends will make a fine army for me and my bride-to-be — and Captain Flameheart'll never know what hit him!

(LeChuck removes his disguise)

Who could turn down the mightiest pirate on the waves?

Elaine

Oh. My love. How wonderful. You are as brilliant as you are malicious.

LeChuck

Heh heh... I know. Now, where were we?

Guybrush

Um... I ask again... If anyone who actually matters objects to the union of this loving couple...

(The player begins to raise their hand, but they are promptly stopped by LeChuck using the Burning Blade)

LeChuck

GET ON WITH IT, BOOKWEED!

Guybrush

Then, by the power invested in me as Governor, I now pronounce you man, er, evil man...

No, Lord! I now pronounce you Dread Pirate Lord and...

(Kate Capsize crashes in through the stained glass window behind the altar, along with an entourage of monkeys)

Guybrush

...Monkeys?!

(The monkeys throw Rootbeer Cannonballs at LeChuck, knocking him to the ground, causing him to drop the Burning Blade, and freeing everyone from his control)

Pirate Lord

Now's our chance! Let me take the others to safety. I know you have what it takes to deal with LeChuck.

Don't let your guard down, and remember – in this world, it's not your sword that cuts deepest...

(The Pirate Lord uses his power to transport everyone but LeChuck and the player to safety, and both parties pick themselves up off of the ground)

LeChuck

Upstarts... Nincompoops... Everywhere I go, no matter what I try, it's always pirate wannabes who meddle in my plans and ruin everything!

Well, I may have lost Elaine, and my Burning Blade, but I can still have my fun... by tearing you limb from limb!

(LeChuck draws his sword, and disappears in a cloud of smoke)
