Hunch confirmed the correct translation of "Lunette": Spyglass. The R2 template and the title name must be changed. (I don't know how to do that.)

The Glasses Pirate's role in the N64, PC, Dreamcast and DS versions of ''Rayman 2'' is very small. He appears in many cinematics in which he reports to [[Admiral Razorbeard]] regarding [[Rayman]]'s progress and whereabouts, but does little more. In every version, he debuts in the cinematic preceding Rayman's first visit to [[the Bayou]].

===PlayStation version/[[Rayman Revolution]]===
===PlayStation version/[[Rayman Revolution]]===
In the two Sony versions of ''Rayman 2'', the Glasses Pirate is given much more importance. At multiple points he encounters Rayman and brings with him a difficult challenge. The lackey first strikes chronologically in ''[[Rayman Revolution]]'', in which he leads the attack on [[Clark]] and Rayman at the entrance to the [[Rainbow Creek]]. His next appearance, also ''Revolution''-exclusive, is a boss fight: the Glasses Pirate jumps into the Boss Biditank to personally battle Rayman. The Glasses Pirate next encounters Rayman in both the PlayStation and PlayStation 2 versions at the end of [[the Tomb of the Ancients]], where it is seen that the Glasses Pirate is controlling [[Clark]] via remote control. The Glasses Pirate makes his final chronological appearance solely in the PlayStation version, at the end of the [[The Iron Mountains|Gloomy Island]], where he makes his final attempt to get rid of Rayman with his remote-controlled [[Robot Dinosaur]], which he had been using to search for the fourth [[Four Masks of Polokus|Mask of Polokus]]. Fortunately for Rayman, the Glasses Pirate had forgotten to fill up the [[Robot Dinosaur]]'s fuel tank, and the [[Baby Globox]]es escape with Rayman. This is the only time dialogue occurs between the lackey and Rayman.

Before the final boss battle in [[the Crow's Nest]], [[Admiral Razorbeard]] says that he will punish the Glasses Pirate for his consistent failure to stop [[Rayman]] by seeing how well he would swim in molten lava. He then orders the Glasses Pirate to prepare the [[Grolgoth]] for him in the meantime. However, it is not clear whether this punishment was ever carried out, and the fate of the Glasses Pirate remains unknown.
