George

George is a Pirates minifigure that appeared in 1996.

Description
George wears a black bandana, and his torso is printed with a white shirt, green vest, and a belt. In 6249 Pirates Ambush he wears brown tricorne hat; in 6281 Pirates Perilous Pitfall, he has bicorne and a peg leg.

Background
George is a crew member of the Red Beard Runner. In the March-April 1996 The Adventures of the LEGO Maniac, Jake the Snake Blake tells George to grab the gold from the Armada Flagship. While George's appearance is not specified in the comic, this particular pirate is assumed to be George by process of elimination since the rest of the Red Beard Runner pirates are given specific names throughout this issue of LEGO Mania Magazine.

A similar pirate wearing differently-colored bandana and pants is seen in 6232 Skeleton Crew.

George and Parma Sean LaFeet seem to be very good friends, as they always appear together in all sets.

In the 1997 set 6281 Pirates Perilous Pitfall, he wears a black bicorne hat and a peg leg, giving him a similar appearance to pirate captains such as Captain Redbeard and Captain Ironhook and suggesting that George himself may have become a captain. If that is true, the set includes a shipwreck that may have been George's former ship.

In LEGO Battles, George makes a cameo appearance in the Pirates Act 1 cutscene. In a flashback sequence, George, Black Jack Hawkins, and a third unnamed pirate bury a massive bounty of gold underneath the current location of Governor Broadside's fortress. Once their work is done, George and Black Jack turn on the third pirate and fight over possession of the treasure map, accidentally tearing it into three pieces as a result.
