Monkey Island 4

Characters

Guybrush Threepwood

Guybrush starts off EFMI running a legal errand for his wife, Elaine Marley. However, it soon develops into a devious plot involving Australians, monkeys and the Ultimate Insult. Plus he tends to get beaten up by Mrs. Threepwood. A lot.

Elaine Marley Threepwood:

Guybrush's first love and current wife, Governor Elaine Marley Threepwood. In The Secret of Monkey Island Elaine first met Guybrush when he happened to sneak into her house. She may have had a thing for him right then and there though because she bailed him out. Unfortunatly our favorite pirate Guybrush wasn't too quick on his feet with words, and he ruined Elaine's first impression of him when he insulted her.

Elaine later went on to not only govern Meleé Island, but also Plunder Island and Booty Island. In the most recent Monkey Island game, The Curse of Monkey Island, Elaine played an important role being that she was what Guybrush was trying to save, but her role was limited because she was turned to gold and didn't speak much throughout the game. One characteristic of Elaine that we are sure to see in Escape from Monkey Island is her crazy mood swings. In each of the games prior, Elaine also never talked directly to Guybrush except for in Cutscenes. This is expected to change in EMI.

Le Chuck

Only Darth Vader strikes more fear in the hearts of people who are around his presence. Just by walking into a room, the evil, demonic, Ghost Pirate Captain LeChuck can change the tone of everyone around. LeChuck, like Guybrush, also is in love with Elaine.

The only difference between LeChuck and Guybrush is that LeChuck doesn't care whether Elaine likes him or not. LeChuck tried to kidnap Elaine on more then one occasion, he tried to buy her love, and he even brought her to the alter in a chapel once hoping he'd get his way. As LeChuck progressed from The Secret of Monkey Island to The Curse of Monkey Island, he became quite scarier everytime. LeChuck still had the funny villian look to him in the first three games, but in the early screenshots of Escape from Monkey Island, LeChuck looks significantly more scary. On your left, you see a picture of Charles L. Charles. Charles seems to have an akward connection to LeChuck. Escape from Monkey Island brings it to our attention that Charles plans to take over the vacant spot of Govenor on Melee Island by offering Grog to everyone! My only question is, how can those little legs hold that massive guy ;).

Ozzie Mandrill

An Australian land developer who is taking land from pirates in the Tri-Island area via Insult fights; arm-wrestles, sword-fights, anything - and converting the land into mass-market tourist-friendly money-spinning franchises.

Herman Toothrot

The hermit who turns up in the strangest of locations: be it the mystery-drenched shores of Monkey Island or the whooping big beach of Dinky Island - always willing to help in return for conversation. Has a beard. Wears no pants.
