In return for his freedom, Pete became a commander in Maleficent's Heartless army, and traveled around many worlds building up more and more legions of Heartless to help her plot of universal domination (considering there is more than one world).

While searching for [[Jafar]]'s Lamp in [[Agrabah]], Pete is followed by [[Axel]] and [[Roxas]] when they come across the villain in the Marketplace as he was looking for a secret entrance out of town to the [[Cave of Wonders]]. Pete eventually escapes [[Organization XIII]]'s sights, not appearing until Roxas finds him during another mission in Agrabah, this time with [[Xion]]. While investigating the Cave of Wonders, Roxas and Xion end up battling him.

[[File:I'm Pete 01 KHII.png|thumb|right|Pete encounters Sora, Donald, and Goofy while trying to turn Yen Sid into a Heartless.]]

Pete first meet Sora while standing outside [[Mysterious Tower|Yen Sid's Tower]], having sent in a squad of Heartless to turn the powerful sorcerer [[Yen Sid]] into a Heartless to act as Pete's bodyguard. Sora, [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] inform him of Maleficent's demise, and in anger, Pete calls an army of Heartless to attack. After Pete tells them who lives in the tower, Sora, Donald, and Goofy run inside in excitement, leaving Pete to lose his temper and leave.

He returns to Hollow Bastion and goes to Maleficent's fortress to see if Sora's claims were true. Initially upset by the revelation, when Pete sees her pet raven, Diablo, arrive and caw at him, he immediately realizes that Maleficent will return soon and runs off in glee.  

Pete then appears in [[Olympus Coliseum]] to help [[Hades]] defeat [[Hercules]], planning to turn the great hero into another one of his Heartless when he falls. As part of Hades' plan to trick Sora into unlocking the [[Underdrome]], Pete kidnaps [[Megara]] and imprisons her inside it. He fight Hercules and Sora long enough for the [[Hydra]] to attack the Coliseum, fleeing the Underworld and returning to Hollow Bastion.

Saddened, Pete begins pining for his early days as a steamboat captain, causing a portal to [[Timeless River]] to open up. Showing Maleficent the portal, Pete is tasked with going back in time to destroy [[Disney Castle]]'s treasured [[Cornerstone of Light]] to allow them to take over the castle to replace their crumbling fortress. However, Pete is stopped from fulfilling their plan by Sora, along with his [[Captain Pete|past self]]. His portal was sealed behind him by the Keyblade, preventing him from ever going back.

He next appears in [[Port Royal]], where he teams up with [[Captain Barbossa]] to lend a hand in removing the curse of the gold medallions. He also gave them fair warning about the Keyblade's otherworldly<!--it's like babytown frolics in here--> magic being effective on their skeletal forms. Pete also helped double-cross [[Will Turner|Will]] by leaving Heartless and rigged gunpowder barrels on the ''Interceptor'' while taking him hostage. After "the tide has changed" during Barbossa's battle with [[Jack Sparrow]], Pete summons the [[Illuminator]] Heartless to absorb moonlight to assist. However, once it's defeated, Pete flees.

Deciding to resume his quest to find Jafar's lamp and turn him into a Heartless, Pete returned to [[Agrabah]] to search the Cave of Wonders. While searching, he overheard Sora's group mention [[the Peddler]] had Jafar's lamp. Leaving a squad of Heartless to keep them busy, Pete tracked the Peddler down and chased him to the palace gates. However, just when it seemed he succeeded in acquiring the lamp, interference from [[Iago]] and [[Genie]], causing him to lose it. After the [[Blizzard Lord and Volcanic Lord]] that he summons are defeated, he runs off in a fury.

He next appears in the [[Pride Lands]], lending [[Scar]] control of the [[Heartless]] to secure his reign as king. When it looked like Sora, Donald and Goofy would be done in by Scar's hyena minions, Pete took his leave. However, he had a hidden agenda; upon Scar's defeat by [[Simba]], he used the anger and jealousy in Scar's [[Heart|heart]] to turn him into a Heartless to establish his and Maleficent's control over the Pride Lands. However, Scar was defeated by Sora and Simba, forcing him to once again flee.

During the invasion of Hollow Bastion, Pete commanded the Heartless alongside Maleficent. However, once seeing that their troops were no match for the Organzation's [[Nobody|Nobodies]], he fled; "I don't know about you, but I'm out of here, sister!"

He and Maleficent turn up one last time in the [[Castle That Never Was]], seeking to take it for their own. When [[Ansem the Wise]]'s [[Kingdom Hearts Encoder]] explodes, it causes the creation of thousands of Heartless. Knowing that the Sora and his friends are the only ones who can stop [[Xemnas]], Maleficent volunteers to hold off the Heartless, on the condition that when they've destroyed them all, the castle would be hers. Pete suggests fleeing, causing Maleficent to dismiss him. However, Pete meets Mickey face to face for the first time in a decade, and a brief conversation encourages Pete to stand and fight. He and Maleficent charge the Heartless army while Sora and company go on to defeat Xemnas. After the castle is destroyed, the two of them are forced to retreat.<!--should be in-universe, focused on the characters not player ("first encountered"), present tense, and there is a lot of spelling and grammar errors here-->

[[File:A Shady Character 01 KHREC.png|thumb|right|Pete appears in a data version of Olympus Coliseum.]]

Some time afterwards, Maleficent realizes that Jiminy's Journal is possibly linked to the Book of Prophecies, a book capable of rendering worlds and powers from the future. While Pete believes that all this is just a fairy tale, Maleficent decides to use this to recapture the Datascape.

==Appearance==

Pete is very mean, selfish and, shown at various points, cowardly. He tends to get scared in the presence of characters with overwhelming power, or in situations of being outnumbered. He is quite loyal to Maleficent, although his cowardice interferes from time to time. He has the tendency to run at the mouth, bragging and insulting, even with people such as Hades. Whenever he is defeated, he runs off in a huff. Though Pete appears incompetent, his heart has strangely been strong enough to resist the darkness.  

Despite his cowardly appearance, Pete is one of the sneakier antagonists in the game. This is shown first in the Underworld where he tricks Sora into opening the Underdrome by losing a fight to Sora. Next at Agrabah, he uses Sora and his friends to find Jafar's lamp so he can steal it and turn him into a Heartless. Later, during his fight with Sora at Timeless River, he continuously changes the scene to give himself an edge.

When he was a captain, Pete had many of the same personality traits he would later be known for, such as his gruff demeanor and generally rude behavior. However, Captain Pete is shown to be much more benevolent than Pete, and appears to have no intention whatsoever of harming other people for any reason. It is never explained how Captain Pete evolved into his ruthless and conniving self, but a possible explanation is resentment and jealousy over his cabin boy Mickey's ascension to King of Disney Castle, especially given the fact that Mickey once used to work for him, suggested when Pete refers to Mickey as "the boat-boy King".

===D-Link===

{{main|Game:Pete (D-Link)}}

Although Peg Leg Pete's debut dates back to 1925 in ''[[wikipedia:Alice Comedies|Alice Solves the Puzzle]]'' in which he was portrayed as a bear-like creature, it was not until ''[[wikipedia:Steamboat Willie|Steamboat Willie]]'' in 1928 that he made his first full-fledged appearance as Mickey Mouse's feline antagonist. Despite this, he holds the distinction of being the oldest surviving Disney character. Coincidentally, Pete's role in ''Steamboat Willie'' is relatively minor compared to Mickey and Minnie, appearing only at the beginning to throw Mickey back onto the deck to work, and at the very end when he stops Mickey and Minnie from their mischief and punishes Mickey by ordering him to peel potatoes.

While most portrayals of Pete give him an antagonistic role, in some cartoons, he was shown to have a somewhat caring side, including to his children in the show Goof Troop,  his son in the Goofy Movies, and most recently, in the children's show ''{{w|Mickey Mouse Clubhouse}}''. His design in the Country of the Musketeers is based on his look from the film ''Mickey, Donald, Goofy: The Three Musketeers'', in which he is the main antagonist.
