Bosun Krebbs = Kate Capsize? (minor spoilers)
This might be completely daft, but hear me out at least. Feel free to cut this theory to shreds if you notice anything that doesn't fit.
Unless it's the spelling of Kathryn. I think that's it, but I'm not certain. I know of so many different Kathryns and Cathrines and Katherines and so on that they all blend together. :rolleyes:
I think Bosun Krebbs is a stealth cameo from Kate Capsize.
She gives her name in Club 41 as "Kathryn C Krebbs", and as far as I remember, she is only referred to as "Kathryn" or "Bosun Krebbs" in the trial, but the credits list her as "Kathryn 'Kate' Krebbs". Was she ever called "Kate" in the game? I don't recall...
It's humorously revealed at Club 41 that our Guybrush Ulysses Threepwood isn't her Guybrush Q Threepwood, but this may not be entirely true. Perhaps it's like this: our Guybrush meets Capsize, charters her boat, etc, and they go their separate ways.
Later, unknown to us, the other Guybrush meets Capsize, and does all those terrible things to her. At some point, he destroys her reputation, and she decides to start a new life as Krebbs. Much later, she ends up on Flotsam, and hears about the trial, so she decides to join in and get her revenge.
She could easily dye and cut her hair, so that wouldn't be a problem.
And if she continued to have trouble with Guybrush Q Threepwood after changing her identity, that would explain why she doesn't remind our Guybrush that she was originally Capsize - she thinks he already knows. And after the reveal, it doesn't matter, because she would think they've never met before Flotsam.
There it is, go for it!

Also, in the game the blonde girl said that she seeked revenge because of Guybrush Q. Threepwood and the name of our hero is Guybrush ULYSSES threepwood... no Q in his name...
It's just not the right guybrush she's after so its not Kate...
...then it turns out that she wasn't, and it was all a misunderstanding. So yeah, I'm reasonably certain that they're two entirely different people, and Telltale are just messing with us.
EfMI.
BTW, isn't this Krebb's gal backstory based on Designer for a Day contest winner entry?
Probably named after the Greek Myth
aaaAAAnnD
Nah its not her... TTG was playing a little trick on us... making us think it could be her until we find out she is after a different Guybrush.
Besides which, how did she wind up being demoted from Captain to a mere Bosun? Surely her glass bottomed boat business was lucrative enough that she could afford another ship if the original was sunk?
Well done!
It would actually be cool if we met this mysterious Guybrush Q Threepwood eventually. Maybe in Chapter 5, or in future seasons.
Don't pity him. From what Krebbs said, he seems like a bit of a jerk.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was a joke to confuse us.
and as for a second Guybrush? Love nachtnebel's theory. I can just imagine the paradox-clone turning up to carry on the story in chapter 5. I know I sure as hell caused plenty of temporal paradoxes (is that even the right plural term??) on my first playthrough of Escape.
Guybrush U also broke her out of Phatt's jail, so she shouldn't hold a grudge for that. She doesn't think it's worth mentioning. She could easily have been imprisoned twice, once by our Guybrush (which she forgives), and once or more by Guybrush Q. (which she doesn't forgive, because he didn't go back for her.)
But that's part of my point. She is furious. Guybrush Q has ruined her to the point where she had to start from square one. Perhaps when she was found guilty of GQT's crimes, all of her possessions were sold off at Ye Bay!
See above.
I was kind of disappointed
She isn't overly friendly when Guybrush tries to use some pick up lines on her
what he said! literally!
(and sadly they used the same voice actor as Voodoo Lady
I think Telltale was having a joke with us.
I'm pretty sure we know what he'll look like; a blonde waitress described him in detail in the fourth monkey island game!
