Pirate Tinman

Pirate Tinman is a robot pirate with one green eye and one eye patched. He wears a red and white striped shirt and blue jeans.

Background
He first met Isabel Peculier, his future captain, one night, when Israphel attempted to kidnap or kill her. Tinman fended off Israphel, but was damaged in doing so, losing one of his eyes. Isabel patched him up as best she could, and took him in as her first mate. It is unknown how he knew about Israphel's attack, and why he protected Isabel.

Plot
He was first sighted in season 3 episode 14 during the Tale of the Sands. There is no mention of him during the cut scene, where he comes from or what he does. It was speculated that Pirate Tinman would be a resident of BBQ Bay, but when Xephos and Honeydew visited BBQ Bay in episode 19, Tinman was nowhere to be found.

In the 20th episode, Isabel Peculier sends the heroes to recover her missing first mate. The heroes encounter Pirate Tinman in a vault on Scumbucket Island, which may be Grimjaw Slugface's treasure vault. The robot awakes from standby because of detecting abnormal noises (Simon and Lewis's voices). He scans the heroes, and discerns that neither present a threat. He is unable to output sounds properly, possibly due to the damage he took at Israphel's hands,speaking some binary which translates to "idiots".

In the 21st episode, Simon and Lewis find a small undeground room which has a button in it. They also find a button near Pirate Tinman. When Simon and Lewis press each button simultaneously, a large hallway opens. Three venture down the hall, and find a puzzle. They must press certain levers to open the door leading to the next area. They finally manage to open it, and proceeding through a puzzle involving pressure plates and dispensers, they go to the next room, which is a pit filled with lava. After completing an excruciatingly difficult puzzle (Difficult for these two, that is), they are forced to leave Tinman behind. The two venture through some hallways, and stare in awe as they gaze out of a window that shows a humongous pit, full of monsters, complete with an extremely oversized skull. When Simon asks Lewis if he thinks Grimjaw_Slugface is behind it, Lewis closes the episode by saying "I guess we'll just have to find out..."

After adventuring through several mazes, they find Tinman in a treasure room. They wonder how he got here, but are glad he is back. He shows them a security tape of Jock_Fireblast stealing treasure, and they set out to the desert in search of him.

In episode 23, at some point, Pirate Tinman says 01001110 01101111 01110100, which translates as 'Not'.At the beginning of episode 23 Simon and Lewis are trying to figure out how Tinman got across the lava in episode 21.
