In the past, he was the captain of a large ship, but when the seas became rough due to the pranks of Dragon Pokémon and the ship he was commanding was on the verge of wreck, he overpowered it with his Pokémon and took control, demonstrating his bold personality.
Since then, he has been patrolling the seas and training himself and his Pokémon to prevent such accidents from happening and to be able to deal with any situation.
He displays something that attracts Steven, who ran away from home, in place of his real father - his fatherly nature.
