~ Captain Flynt |
Captain Flynt is a minor antagonist in Borderlands 2 and the leader of the Fleshripper Bandit Gang. He is also the brother of Baron Flynt from Borderlands who was also the leader of a group of bandits.
Background[]
Captain was born into the Flynts, an infamous family based in Pandora, and grew up alongside several siblings, including his brothers Baron and Zane and at least one sister.
After Zane left Pandora to join a black ops organization, Captain would regularly send assassins after him as his way of "keeping in touch". Zane sent the heads of one such group of assassins back to Captain, who initially thought them to be preparations for his clan's annual headball tournament before realizing who they belonged to.
At one point, Captain had a son, Sparky, who despised him but still greatly respected him as a father.
Captain eventually established himself and his Fleshrippers bandit clan at Southern Shelf, forcing any Crimson Raiders there to flee and killing the rest. During his time there, he encountered the Hyperion robot Claptrap, whom he took great pleasure in torturing.
Involvement[]
Captain Flynt was first heard when Handsome Jack sets a bounty on the Vault Hunters as soon as they approach Liar's Berg in Southern Shelf and confidently ordered his Fleshrippers to kill them. He swears revenge when the Vault Hunters simply slaughtered the Fleshrippers.
Claptrap later reveals to leave Southern Shelf, he needs to reach his ship, which in turn is gated behind Captain Flynt's own. Captain Flynt continually taunts the Vault Hunters while they fight through his men (including Boom and Bewm) and soon engages them personally, only to be killed as well.
