Princess Eloise's butler. He is a very loyal servant, but he doesn't quite trust Eloise's judgment concerning George, Elliot, and Sedgewick, believing that they won't live up to be the heroes Eloise hopes them to be.

George is the protagonist of the film. At the start of the movie he is working as a cabin boy in a pirate-themed restaurant with his friends Elliot and Sedgewick. George is [[ExtremeDoormat rather weak-willed]], and as a result no one respects him, particularly his wife and children. However, he starts growing a spine due to his interactions with Princess Eloise.

!!George

Played by Pa Grape. For tropes relevant to Pa Grape, see ''Characters/VeggieTales''.

George is the protagonist of the film. At the start of the movie he is working as a cabin boy in a pirate-themed restaurant with his friends Elliot and Sedgewick. George is [[ExtremeDoormat rather weak-willed]], and as a result no one respects him, particularly his wife and children. However, he starts growing a spine due to his interactions with Princess Eloise.
----
* CharacterDevelopment: Gets more assertive as the story goes on.
* ExtremeDoormat: To the point that no one respects him. Eventually [[CharacterDevelopment he gets better.]]
* TookALevelInKindness: Eventually he realized that his and his friends' layabout ways were causing Eloise to have to do far more work than was her responsibility, and he starts helping her.
* WellDoneDadGuy: His children look up to another man more than him.
!! Elliot
----
!! Sedgewick
----
* HeroicBSOD: Has one when cheese snacks corner him with the intent to eat him. Seeing a picture of his girlfriend snaps him out of it.
* LazyBum
* ThePowerOfLove: He realizes he's not ready to die from being eaten by cheese snacks when he remembers his love for his girlfriend. This lets him swim a long distance just to stay alive.
!! Princess Eloise
The princess of Monterria. She remained hidden when the ship she and her brother was on was attacked, so she was able to avoid capture. However, her brother was taken, and she is determined to find and rescue him. She used the Help-Seeker (a gift from her father) in order to find heroes, and she is convinced that George, Elliot and Sedgewick are the heroes that she was waiting for.
----
* ActionGirl: In spirit, at least. She has the attitude down pat.
** FauxActionGirl: ...the fighting skills to go with the attitude? Not so much.
* DamselInDistress: Eventually her uncle's minions catch up to her.
* {{Determinator}}: She insists on looking for her brother despite the danger to herself.
* FearlessFool: In the opening scene she grabs a sword with the intention of fighting. Never mind that she's only eight and not very skilled with a sword. Her butler talks her out of it.
* IWillFindYou: To Alexander.
* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Manages to remain fairly calm despite the circumstances, and until George starts helping her she's practically running ''The Steadfast'' on her own.

!!Prince Alexander
The prince of Monterria. The ship he's on, ''The Steadfast'', is attacked by his uncle and he is taken prisoner. Later on, Robert gives him a SadisticChoice: either tell when the King will return so Robert can kill the King, or let Eloise die.
----
* BadLiar: He lies about Eloise's whereabouts in an attempt to protect her, but he comes across as way too defensive and Robert doesn't believe him.
* BerserkButton: He doesn't take insults against his father too kindly.
* DistressedDude: He gets kidnapped in the opening scene of ''Pirates'' and remains a prisoner for most of the movie.
* SheWillComeForMe: Alexander says to Robert that his father will send help.

!!Willory
Played by Archibald Asparagus.

Princess Eloise's butler.
----
* HighClassGlass: To be expected when he's played by Archibald Asparagus.
* TheMeanBrit: He's subtly disapproving of the Pirates when Eloise is around and openly hostile when she's not. Part of the joke being he's right on with his criticisms.

!!Robert the Terrible
----
* TheEvilPrince: He's the King's brother.
* EvilUncle: To Alexander and Eloise.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: And people do run away really fast. Sedgewick inadvertantly clears out a whole bar just by asking if anyone's seen the cutlass (that turns out to belong to Robert.)
* WouldHurtAChild: Makes it clear that he has no intention of letting Eloise and Alexander live when they're no longer of any use to him.
!!The King
----
* [[spoiler: DeusExMachina: Appears at the end to save the rest of the cast [[JustInTime in a timely fashion.]]]]
