Captain Shears
Captain Shears (シールズ大佐, Shīruzu Taisa?) appears in the manga Star Fox: Farewell, Beloved Falco, which came with the Japanese version of Star Fox Adventures. The manga explains what happens during the eight year gap between Star Fox 64 and Star Fox Adventures. Shears conducts his operations in a base on Titania. Working as a double agent, he tells the Star Fox team he and his group of scientists are planning to reconstruct Andross's research, claiming there might still be Venom soldiers on the planet. However, Katt Monroe does not trust him and tells Falco of Shears' plan, leading to a dogfight between Fox and Falco-with Fox as the victor. Fortunately, Falco was not killed nor injured in the fight-however, Fox received a very enraged scolding from Peppy Hare later on.
Afterwards, the Star Fox team and Katt's gang team up and learn Shears is not planning to reconstruct Andross' research, but to resurrect Andross himself. After hearing this, Fox storms into Shears' base, and enters the rejuvenation lab right after rescuing Slippy (Shears' henchmen, or rather, the Golas, which have a striking resemblance to a Cornerian Footsoldier, kidnapped Slippy as well as the Landmaster when he was sent to investigate their motivations earlier) where Andross' revival is happening. Shears then boasts about his plan and attacks Fox with a sword, on a large, mutant boar. After fighting, Fox defeats Shears. However, Shears attempts to escape on his boar, only to be crushed under the weight of the newly constructed Andross. He is never seen again.

Famous quotes containing the word captain:
“The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them. They have counted the votes of Pennsylvania & Co., but they have not correctly counted Captain Brown’s vote. He has taken the wind out of their sails,—the little wind they had,—and they may as well lie to and repair.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
