Kaptein Sabeltann villains are as iconic and sometimes MORE iconic than some of the main crew. Below I’ll tell you about them, link to their songs and tell you about their dastardly plans.

I have to start with some forewords, I am vague here about plot stuff as I want to save that primarily for the post about the plots. So you’ll have to forgive me if some of these are a bit vague, you’ll just have to wait and read more about that when the plot post comes out. However, there may still be light spoilers? I have to warn you even though I don’t think the majority of you care about that.

We start with the most infamous Sabeltann villain first. He terrified children, is the only thing our one and only Kaptein Sabeltann is truly afraid of, the one, the only

Grusomme Gabriel (Gory Gabriel) aka Havets Hevner (the sea’s revenge, if translated), is a vengeful spirit who is said to haunt anyone who dares seek his treasure. Grusomme Gabriel is- or WAS the most feared pirate before Kaptein Sabeltann, so much so he is Kaptein Sabeltann’s only fear. Grusomme Gabriel had an amazing treasure that he died protecting, and of course, Kaptein Sabeltann wants it. Long ago his ship sank with the treasure, not far away from the small village Kjuttaviga (Luna Bay), the only thing leading to his treasure is a torn-apart map with a riddle. The riddle hinges on the final line “To find the gold it will be tough, for no man can dig deep enough”. Grusomme Gabriel is most famous for his iconic entrance scene, where the ghost of Grusomme Gabriel rises from the sea and haunts Kaptein Sabeltann away from his treasure. However, of course, ghosts aren’t real in this universe silly! This is just Pinky in disguise. (more on that in ‘the plots’)

Ghosts may not be real in this universe but you know what is real? Magic.

Greven av Gral (He doesn’t have an official english name yet, it literally translates to the count of grail), he is the count of the island Gral, ruling over everyone and everything on the island, turning it dark, cold and desolate. Greven av Gral is a wizard but is not that powerful in magic spells, instead his power comes mainly from his magical potion, which he keeps in his grail, which brainwashes anyone who drinks from it. He plans to make everyone in the world his unwilling subjects/slaves with this potion, and he is a very powerful adversary because of that. Greven av Gral also has a ship of his own “Grevinnen” and is currently in possession of a treasure that Kaptein Sabeltann once lost in an old shipwreck, “den gylne tiger” (the golden tiger).

And of course, Greven av Gral has his hench people:

Grevens Gribber (still no english names, literally Count’s Vultures) from left to right: Slu, Grisk and Grufull (Sly, Stingy, and Horrifying, if literally translated). They are as far as I can tell, not under the effect of the potion, they are just like that. They follow Greven av Gral’s every command and want a higher position in Greven’s hierarchy which they are willing to cheat their way up to. Slu (left) and Grufull (right) are very similar in character and are both routinely belittling towards Grisk (middle).

Grevens Gribber didn’t always use to be Slu, Grisk and Grufull, in the original show they had completely different appearances and used to be named Lola, Lucifer and Piodor.

And did you know Greven av Gral also has a partner in crime?

Sibylla aka Grevinnen av Gral, an angry, rough woman. If Greven av Gral is a sneaky, manipulative villain she is the opposite. Sibylla will burn, yell, and hunt to get her way without hesitation. Sibylla is often away plundering the seven seas for treasures to bring back to Greven av Gral. Greven keeps her in check or she would be on a constant hunting spree. After Greven av Gral is defeated and Kaptein Sabeltann sails away with their treasure she is hellbent on revenge against him. We currently don't know what her and Greven av Gral's relationship is.

So ghosts aren’t real, but magic is. You know what else is real? Vampires.

Maga Kahn and Sirikit. Maga Kahn is ruler in the jungle and swamps of Shangri La (in the movie this is changed to his own island in the Marmalades named Maga Kahn’s island) and he’s a vampire. Sirikit is his queen (not a vampire). They are currently in possession of “Den magiske diamant” (The magic diamond), which can grant anyone one wish. Since Maga Kahn is a vampire, he is unable to exist in the sun, so his wish is to tolerate the sun and take over the world unhindered (at least in the movie).

Their appearances have changed a lot over the years, never being the same twice. Maga Kahn went from being a Ghengis Khan type but in recent years has turned into more of a punk. (and a buff influencer in the movie.)

Now we move on to last villains in this post,

Glade Gorm aka Flammenes Herre (Happy Jack). He is basically a watered-down Long John Silver. He gets a job onboard Den sorte dame pretending to be a gourmet chef, and Kaptein Sabeltann, absolutely disgusted by their current cook, Skalken's cooking, replaces him with Glade Gorm immediately. Glade Gorm is after Grusomme Gabriel’s treasure just like Kaptein Sabeltann, except unlike Kaptein Sabeltann he is not afraid to burn and pillage to find the treasure. He has henchmen of his own Tøge and Birk but they aren't that important to the story.

These are all the villains worth mentioning, but there’s also Bjørn Barsk (Bjørn the Brave) from “Skatten i Lama Rama” which also includes Prince Badal. And then there Jon Benløs, your typical bully kid from the TV show.
