| ====[[The Gorgon Eye]]====
| |
| Cap'n Tusk sent one of his crewmen to scout the area around [[Lake Kilma]] but he hasn't returned, making the captain worry that the [[Faeries|faeries]] might have done something to him. As the protagonist introduces them, the pirate penguins ask them for a password. Answering "What?" makes the crew giddy, but Cap'n Tusk replies that they are not a member, despite having guessed correctly. He then orders his crew to get back to the ship before the faeries get a hold of them. After continuing deeper into the woods, the main character encounters the chief walrus and his crew, urging them to head back to the ship. The remaining pirates can't seem to put their mind to rest as long as their crewmates are petrified, but the chief's orders are to be observed.

| To flee a belligerent faerie, a flock of penguins are seen jumping off a cliff along with Cap'n Tusk himself. Tote, the local [[Seven Wisdoms|Wisdom]] and aging tortoise appears near the cliff the Faeries have pushed the pirate crew off, telling the hero they should thread carefully and decide whether or not they want to save them. He decides to jump off as he sees the main character doing the same. Down there, he reveals to the Pirate Penguins whose leader has been turned into stone that the master of the lake holds no treasure and Faeries believe they will die if their master perish. According to him, both are myths. One of the penguin crew tells the old turtle to shut it and to be useful for once. Tote tells them to lure the master of the lake with the protagonist. The crew is suddently apprehensive about the monster, asking how big is it, which the turtle demonstrate by walking from quite a large distance. Feeling their hesitation, Tote takes the [[Cap'n Tusk]] stone statue and hurls it into the lake, his pirate penguin crew immediately following him. After defeating the [[Gorgon Eye (Legend of Mana)|monster]] the penguins are seen making a live ladder up the cliff they fell in earlier. The crew give the protagonist the [[Firefly Lamp]] [[Artifacts|artifact]] as thanks.

Cap'n Tusk tells the protagonist they have to find the bottle in order to capture the ghost and throw it back to the sea. Fortunately, the bottle is found in the lower deck and the pirate who found it is tricked into giving it back to the hero. This angers Gova the ghost who attacks them, but is eventually sealed back in. The Captain rewards the protagonist with a chunk of [[Altena Alloy]] for their good deeds.

| |
| A fellow crewmen tells Ramtieger the Captain wants him in his office. Cap'n Tusk tells of a treasure map hidden in the Mekiv Caverns, and that he must get his flippers on it before the Diggers. He mandates the hero to search for the treasure map inside the cave while the Penguins go ahead. There he finds [[Roger]], head of the Diggers, berating his [[Dudbears|dudbear]] crew for losing the map. Helped by the Pirate Penguins, the main character must now find each of the Dudbears holding a piece of the map scattered around the caverns.

| Cap'n Tusk appeared in numerous stories.
| |
| | |
| ====[[Captain Shiloh's Swashbucklers!]]====
| |
| [[Shiloh]] was elected as the Pirate Penguins's new captain while Captain Tusk is taken a vacation. The ex-leader of the SS Buccaneer states in the flashback he's fed up with all of his crewmen's puns. He encourages his crew to make all the puns they want for during his summer break. However, the penguins are at a lost and don't know what to do during his absence, to which Tusk shouts they just have to focus on finding more treasures.

| ====[[Siren Arc I: Flora & Fugue]]====
| |

Flameshe decides to nab the centaur while no one is watching, but a tremor is felt. A huge sea [[Eel Queen|monster]] is fished out on the main deck, attacking the vessel.

| Contrary to expectations for Cap'n Tusk to be a courageous, fearless individual who exudes an aura of veneration as the commander of a large following of pirates, he is, in actuality, rather cowardly and easily frightened. This fact is made especially evident in ''The Gorgon's Eye'', where, prior to being petrified by a Faerie and hurled off the cliff overlooking Lake Kilma, Cap'n Tusk is observed to impose the responsibility of offending the Faeries to the Pirate Penguins, insisting that he had no part to play in the act.

|
| |
|
| Cap'n Tusk's cowardice extends towards his speech register itself, where he shies from articulating words that he considers to be vulgar and offensive. In ''The Gorgon's Eye'', when prompted by the ever-encouraging Penguins to issue a momentous threat to deal with any of their failings, Cap'n Tusk falls short of expectations; asserting that he will "ker-clunk" their heads, he later sheepishly explains that his mother taught him the importance of polite speech.
