Herman assumed the name Herman Toothrot, when he noticed the initials engraved on his accordion that hit him on the head, which consequently induced his amnesia, were H. He was the grandfather of Elaine Marley, who would later relinquish her gubernatorial powers to him after he recovered his memories, and returned to Mêlée Island. This drove Horatio to seek revenge against LeChuck and Ozzie Mandrill, and put a stop to their plans. In Escape from Monkey Island, Guybrush Threepwood helped him recover his memories. He then lived the life of a hermit for several years on Monkey Island, unable to remember one iota of his past. He would later be known as Herman Toothrot, after he lost his memory in an unfortunate accident. He and his crew returned home, unable to speak of the atrocities they witnessed. He fell victim to the machinations of the evil pirate LeChuck during his search for the legendary treasure of Big Whoop. He was also the elected Governor of the Tri-Island Area, though that didn't stop him from satiating his hunger for seeking dangerous thrills around the world. Horatio Torquemeda Marley was a famous Captain and adventurer, well regarded throughout the Caribbean.
