Guybrush Threepwood

Guybrush Threepwood is the main character of the Monkey Island games. Initially a wannabe pirate in the original game, he fell in love with governor Elaine Marley and this brought him in confrontation to the evil ghost pirate LeChuck.

He finally vanquished his ghost form and after he became a pirate, while looking for the treasure Big Whoop, he mistakenly helped Largo LaGrande to ressurect the dead body of LeChuck.

during his quest he re-established connections with Elaine, but on his second confrontation with LeChuck at the end of the second game, the players came to the surprise that the two enemies were in fact brothers and all the story was a fantasy happening in a thematic park, and Guybrush is only a kid.

On the third game we learn that in reality he was held for 5 years imprisoned in an illusional trap, known as Carnival of the Damned. After defeating LeChuck for the third time, he marries finally Elaine, and changed his name to Threepwood-MArley.
