| Tattle | That's Cortez! He's the dreaded pirate spirit who haunts the island! His HP may seem low, by he's a spirit so even when his HP hits 0, he'll come back. Plus, he has tons of different attacks. He's as tough and scary as he looks. I'd say just keep damaging him, and sooner or later he'll go down for good! Let's give this tormented spirit some eternal rest! |

Cortez is the holder of the fifth Crystal Star, the Sapphire Star, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. He fights Mario when he thinks Mario is after his treasure. He no longer saw Mario as an enemy and gives him the Crystal Star when Mario tells him he isn't interested in his treasure, and later helps him in the battle against the X-Nauts when Lord Crump attacks Keelhaul Key. From then on Cortez would stay docked at Rogueport and would ferry Mario to Keelhaul Key and back whenever he wanted.
Cortez is the one who defeated the Stalwart Koopa and caused him to be sealed in a magic Black Chest.
At the end of the game Goombella says Bobbery, Cortez, and a few others went to sail the world.
[edit] Trivia
- He is named after the Spanish conqueror Hernán Cortés, although Hernán Cortés wasn't a pirate.
- He has a personality similar to Jonathan Jones. They are both pirates, they allied themselves with Mario, and they have red and blue minions (Lava Bubble/Bandana Red; Ember/Bandana Blue)).
