Biography
TUGS
Sea Rogue's Uncle was once trapped in an old warehouse by some Pirates who made his nephew, Sea Rogue, steal barges for them in order to set him free. Otherwise, they would sink him.
One night, Sea Rogue was found by Grampus, Ten Cents, and Sunshine. After some explaining, they devised a plan to capture the Pirates. Meanwhile, Zip and Zug found the Old Warehouse where Sea Rogue's uncle and the Stolen Barges were being held, but were soon chased out by the Pirate Tugs. Once the Pirates left the Warehouse, Grampus went to rescue Sea Rogue’s Uncle.
When everything had settled, Sea Rogue and his Uncle left for upriver the Following Morning.
Personality
Sea Rogue's Uncle is an elderly tug who both cares for, and often jokes around with his nephew. He's a kind tug who knows the differences between right or wrong, as depicted by his pleading for Sea Rogue not to steal barges while being held for ransom.
Livery
His livery consists of a black hull sporting a white top, a light orange superstructure with white trim, and a red smokestack. The starboard side of his superstructure is boarded up.
He also wears a black bowler hat.
