Governor Tierney,[1] also known as Royal Feather,[2] is a minifigure from the 2009 Pirates theme.
Description[]
Much like Governor Broadside and Governor Hacienda, Governor Tierney is dressed with a blue navy frock coat, and is adorned with epaulets and a bicorn hat. His face has gray mutton chops and a grinning expression.
The original 2009 version of Governor Tierney has red epaulets and is sometimes depicted with a red plume on his bicorn hat. The later 2010 version features gold epaulets and a blue plume instead; otherwise, the two minifigures are identical.
Background[]
Governor Tierney is the leader of the Royal Navy Soldiers and the rival of Captain Brickbeard. His daughter is Leigh Tierney, and he is the captain of the Imperial Flagship according to its product description.
Governor Tierney makes his debut in 6242 Soldiers' Fort. In the set's comic, Tierney fires his flintlock pistol at Brickbeard, who is holding onto the fort's crane. The bullet snaps the rope, dropping Brickbeard and the treasure chest into the water below.[3]
In the Quest for the Pirate Dictionary! LEGO Club Magazine comic, Governor Tierney is inside the Soldiers' Fort, studying the map that leads to the Pirate Dictionary. Tierney plans to use the dictionary to learn the pirate plans. However, Captain Brickbeard swings into the fort and snatches the map away from Tierney.[4]
LEGO Quest & Collect reveals that Royal Feather used to be friends with the pirate Nobeard, although their friendship has since ended due to their respective occupations. He is a physical attacker with the skills Cannonade, Snipe, and Hawkeye.
In LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed, Governor Tierney has the abilities His Majesty's Mace, Smoke & Buccaneers, Payback Politics, and Populist. He is characterized as willing to do anything to win, at the expense of being a good father to his daughter Leigh Tierney.
Notes[]
- Most official images of Governor Tierney's 2009 minifigure depict him with a red plume on his bicorn hat. However, the instructions for 6242 give the plume to the cavalry officer's tricorn instead, leaving Tierney's bicorn without a plume.
- In LEGO Battles and LEGO Battles: Ninjago, Governor Tierney's minifigure is used to represent Governor Broadside.
- Tierney's bio in LEGO Legacy: Heroes Unboxed erroneously refers to 10210 Imperial Flagship as his sole appearance.
