John Silver

AKA Barbecue or Long John is the main antagonist of "Treasure Planet". The greedy, vicious and conniving pirate. He is a brave fighter and murderer, capable of committing crimes to achieve his goal. Silver lost his leg in a sea battle. He served as quartermaster to Flint himself. The character was an excellent cook and a good conversationalist. He was an animal lover, remembered by many for his parrot which liked to sit on his shoulder. After the death of the captain, he made his way over to the mainland, where he opened a tavern named The Spyglass. Soon he begins making plans for a treasure hunt, interacting with his enemies, including Jim Hawkins. The lack of a leg has not stopped Silver from gaining credibility amongst the pirates. So Barbecue leads the gang, with whom he sets out on a treasure hunt. But, defeated and unable to find the treasure, the pirates attack Silver, suspecting him of treason. Abraham Gray and Ben Gunn help him escape. Silver himself rescues Jim Hawkins, which gets him on the ship. And soon, Long John, using all his cunning, disappears into one of the seaports.
