Pete was aware of [[Villain's Vale]] serving as Maleficent's base at one point; though he never visited. <ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''','''Pete''': "This castle sure aint what i was expecting. No shine. No nothing."</ref> Due to being busy building the Heartless army, Pete remained largely unaware of [[Sora]]'s battles against [[Maleficent]]'s alliance, although he was aware that [[Jafar]] had been turned into a genie.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days]]''''', '''Pete:''' "Now where is that blasted lamp?"</ref> Because he was not present at [[Hollow Bastion]] once the [[Princesses of Heart]] had been gathered, he was also unaware that Sora and his friends had slain Maleficent.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''', '''Goofy:''' "Sorry. Maleficent can't help ya now." / '''Pete:''' "Whaddaya mean? Why, Maleficent's power is so great...!" / '''Sora:''' "She's toast."</ref>

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, but later encounters Roxas and [[Xion]] during another mission in Agrabah in the Cave of Wonders. Assuming that they came looking for Jafar's lamp, Pete engages them in battle. However, their fighting causes a cave-in, forcing them all to flee.

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

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 fights Hercules and Sora long enough for the [[Hydra]] to attack the Coliseum, fleeing the Underworld and returning to Hollow Bastion.

Having been foiled in their attempt to take the [[Datascape]], Maleficent redirected their search for the genuine [[Book of Prophecies]]; according to her, it is contained within an ancient [[Black Box]].

[[File:Return of the Titans 01 KHIII.png|thumb|Maleficent and Pete ask Hades about the location of a mysterious black box.]]

Maleficent and Pete travel to [[Mount Olympus]] to meet with Hades, who is planning his conquest of that world along with the titans. Maleficent assures him that she is not going to interfere with his plans and asks Hades if there is a distinctive black box on Mount Olympus and where she could find it. Hades then thinks that they might be searching for the box that [[Zeus]] hid in the ground and reveal its location to them. Later, while Sora, Donald, and Goofy are fighting the Heartless in Thebes, Maleficent and Pete appear in front of them, prompting Sora to accuse them of being responsible for the Heartless attack, but Maleficent strongly denies it. Pete observes at Sora seems weaker than the last time they faced him and suggests to Maleficent to destroy him, but the witch tells him to leave Sora as he is inconsequential to them and that they have more important affairs to attend, but not before telling them they will meet again. While digging up for the box in Thebes, Pete asks if the Box with the Book of Prophecies is real, to which Maleficent silences her minion. He later find's Pandora's box in the ground, but Maleficent orders Pete to throw it away since it is not the box they are searching for. They then leave that world, unaware that [[Xigbar]] is observing them from far.

In [[San Fransokyo]], Maleficent and Pete encounter [[Dark Riku]]. He asks why they are  snooping around and Maleficent answers that it is none of his concern. After some curt words are exchanged between them, Dark Riku leaves. When Pete asks Maleficent if he was a friend of hers, she confirms he was but she cannot tell from "when".

In [[Twilight Town]], Pete argues with her that the hunt for the black box has been fruitless, to which she agrees, but claims that the hunt for the box ends today since the box does not exist in their time period. When Pete asks where to search, she decides that they need to wait for the box to be revealed after the [[Keyblade War]].

[[File:Symbol Character - Pete.png|100px|thumb|Pete's symbol.]]

Pete is very mean, selfish and, shown at various points, cowardly, with Sora describing him as a bully yet not "smart enough to tie his own shoes". He tends to get scared in the presence of characters with overwhelming power, or in situations of being outnumbered. Pete 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, swearing revenge. Though Pete appears incompetent, his heart has strangely been strong enough to resist the darkness.  

Despite his cowardly demeanor, Pete is one of the sneakier antagonists in the series. 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, though Sora stated he had an attitude, and appears to have no intention whatsoever of harming other people for any reason.

====D-Link====

In the international release of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', and ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix'', Pete becomes a D-Link for Terra, Ventus, and Aqua after witnessing a "Captain Justice" or "Captain Dark" event from a special panel on a [[Command Board]] played from the menu. When in link with Pete, they can perform spin attacks that cause status effects.

Although Peg-Leg Pete's debut dates back to 1925 in ''{{w|Alice Solves the Puzzle}}'' in which he was portrayed as a bear-like creature, it was not until ''{{w|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 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.
