You have fought well, citizen. I, Captain Kalaw, acknowledge your fortitude.
- Captain Kalaw, greeting the winner of the Battlesphere's Hero Battle Royale


Captain Kalaw is a major character in Freedom Planet 2. He is a rufous hornbill from the island nation of Parusa, where he is seen as a hero. Prior to the events of the game, he traveled to the kingdom of Shang Mu, where he not only became the new champion of The Battlesphere, but also a hero to the people, who call him "Red Wing of Justice" and the "Defender of the Defenseless". This makes him a potential fighter to help Team Lilac defend the Kingdom of Shang Tu, but little do the heroes know, he is secretly an informant for Merga, whom he is aiding in resurrecting Bakunawa so he can have his true heroic act in saving all of Avalice (not knowing Merga's true intentions).

Personality[]

Role[]

Captain Kalaw was the champion of the Battlesphere, where he challenged Team Lilac during their adventures in the Battlesphere.

Kalaw is met by by one of the winners of the Hero Battle Royale, who asks for his help in defending the kingdoms. Before he could listen to her offer, he challenges her to a race inside one of the Battlesphere's obstacle courses.

After winning the race, it is revealed that he is in fact a spy for Merga, and helps lures Team Lilac to the Globe Opera under the pretense of helping them rescue Mayor Zao from her. He then reveals his true allegiance to Merga in the Auditorium and pilots Beast Three and then BFF-2000 with Corazon and Aaa before being defeated and left behind as the girls rush back to Shang Tu.

He later shows up in Sky Bridge, talking about a saving Parusa from a volcanic eruption by placing signals across the area. Team Lilac destroys the beacons before confronting Kalaw again, this time the Captain challenges them to a fight, with him recording everything to exposes their "evil deeds". After being bested, he reveals that he joined Merga because of the crimes the earth dragons committed, with the Magister playing a part. He then gets upset about his title of "Battlesphere Champion" being brought up and rants about how he despises the role, and the citizens that do nothing as he merely "grapples for sport" and states that he will save the world and "No one is going to stand in my way!" The heroines remind him of the camera that he brought, and then immediately backpedals by stating that he was "Brain-sucked" the whole time by "Shang Tusian terrorists" but has now broken free before fleeing to repair his image.

Kalaw is not seen again until the ending, where it's shown that he was arrested sometime after his confession and failed attempt to repair his now devastated image. He is sentence to community service for helping Merga, to which he accepts the "Hammer of Justice's" call.

Trivia[]
