Scooby-Doo

Redbeard is a recurring villain from the Scooby-Doo franchise, specifically associated with pirate lore. He isn't a singular character, but rather a ghostly or spectral persona invoked in various episodes.

Typically, the "Redbeard" encountered is not the historical pirate, but a vengeful spirit or an elaborate disguise. Often, the legend surrounding Redbeard's buried treasure serves as the catalyst for mysteries.

In episodes featuring Redbeard, the Scooby Gang investigates purported hauntings connected to him. These hauntings often involve strange occurrences, pirate ship apparitions, and warnings to stay away from his treasure.

The true culprit behind the Redbeard schemes are always revealed to be living individuals, often seeking to exploit the Redbeard legend for personal gain or to scare people away from a particular location.

While the physical appearance of "Redbeard" varies across different episodes, the signature red beard is a constant, solidifying his association with piracy and treasure.
