Upon discovering a mass of hoarded treasures protected at an outpost by privateers, Dread Eye took charge in assaulting the outpost as the Lord Pirate became ill and was bedridden. They were victorious and took the treasure aboard, the rest of the crew preparing to divide the treasure evenly. Carved from the ribcage of a whale, the Phantom ship coasts through the fog and strikes its rivals without warning. The Skeleton Crew commands this ghostly galleon, using their prisoners to feed the ship's ominous powers."- Caption in the instructions. After the Lord Pyrate's Crew were transformed into Skeletons, they were in need of a vessel for use in seeking the Lord Pyrate's Treasure. Led by Dread Eye, they happened upon a whale skeleton on a deserted island and used it to build such a ship, naming it Dread Eye's Phantom. When shot at with cannon fire, the projectiles would simply pass through the Phantom without any trace of damage. The Phantom would lead many successful voyages and battles against other ships, destroying Captain Sabrehook's vessel and forcing a retreat from every other challenger.

Dread Eye was originally the first mate to the Lord Pyrate and served him among the most feared and notorious pirate crew in all the seven seas. Few could compete with them and they amassed an unfeasible hoard of stolen treasures in their adventures. Unbeknownst to any of the three crews, Dread Eye had in his possession a Letter of Marque that directed him to the Lost Treasure. A pair of Spyglasses found by the Marauders and the Privateers revealed this fact, and Blue Beard began an assault on the ghost ship. Like with the Marauders, the Avenger was outmatched and Blue Beard was cast into the Maw after a battle with Dread Eye on the Phantom's mast. The Privateers took the Letter of Marque and Carl Carbunkles threatened Dread Eye at gunpoint, only to flee upon learning of Blue Beard's death. The Skeleton Crew were conscious of the souls used to power the Phantom and often fed live sacrifices to the ship's maw to maintain it's "heartbeat", including Admiral Blue Beard and Sabrehook who later became Lost Souls. In the final battle and under the control of Captain Shoveltooth, both he and Dread Eye were cast into the ship's maw and overloaded the ship with souls, resulting in the Phantom's explosion.

He flaunted his immortality and would toy with unwary adversaries. However, in the face of loss, he has a short temper and is very abusive towards anyone he can blame that's not himself. But as their hunt for the treasure continues, he begins to develop a sense of respect towards his courageous foes and eventually resists the temptation of the Lord Pyrate's treasure. Becoming much more responsible and composed, he gave up on the treasure and decided he wanted to become human again. But despite his moral shifts in the course of his life, he is always unafraid of danger and is willing to do anything to win a battle for himself and for those he allies with.Unfortunately, the Lord Pyrate declared the treasure his own and demanded the treasure be hidden away. He promised rewards and warned of a punishment by means of a terrible curse should they disobey. The Lord Pirate then died immediately after these words, and the terrified crew set out to follow their captain's wishes. Although they had survived, the curse took effect and everyone in the crew became skeletons, along with Dread Eye. With their newfound immortality, Dread Eye and the crew discovered a whale skeleton and used it to build a ship worthy of their power; Dread Eye's Phantom. The Phantom is referred to as a Galleon, although more resembling a Brigantine, with a skeletal aesthetic. It has two masts and three sails, the highest sail bearing the Skeleton Crew symbol. The hull is supported upon a rib-cage that ends in an eldritch humanoid figurehead hanging from the bow, along with boned for railing. The wheel is made of bones and sits before a skeletal throne built within a jawbone.
