'''Cortez''' is the holder of the fifth [[Crystal Stars|Crystal Star]], the [[Sapphire Star]], in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. During dialogues, he appropriately speaks in a Spanish accent. He resides on the [[Black Skull]], a pirate-ship-like vessel, deep within [[Pirate's Grotto]] on [[Keelhaul Key]]. He is named after the Spanish [[wikipedia:Aztec|Aztec]] conqueror [[wikipedia:Hernán Cortés|Hernán Cortés]] (although Cortés was not a pirate). | '''Cortez''' is the holder of the fifth [[Crystal Stars|Crystal Star]], the [[Sapphire Star]], in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

Cortez tries to scare [[Mario]] away (like what [[Tutankoopa]] did in [[Paper Mario|the first game]]) when he thinks the plumber is after his treasure; when his eerie messages fail, he drops the act in disgust and begins a battle. After being defeated, Cortez seemingly prepares to vanish, only to reveal that his state of unlife renders him effectively invincible. However, Mario is finally able to explain that he wasn't interested in Cortez's treasure, only in the Crystal Star. Somewhat bemused and wondering why Mario "didn't just say so" in the first place, Cortez willingly hands over the artifact, offhandedly remarking that he never particularly cared for the Crystal Star anyways. | Cortez tries to scare [[Mario]] away (like what [[Tutankoopa]] did in [[Paper Mario|the first game]]) when he thinks the plumber is after his treasure; when his eerie messages fail, he drops the act in disgust and begins a battle.
