Capital B serves as the main antagonist in the Yooka Laylee series while also being a businessman who runs Hivory Towers as CEO. His company aims to convert all literature in the world into profit to establish a monopoly over the book industry. His ultimate goal involves creating an all powerful book known as The One Book which would grant him the ability to rewrite the entire future. Capital B’s personality exemplifies the traits of a corrupt and greedy businessman which he demonstrates repeatedly. Examples include paying his vice president Dr. Quack just above minimum wage and exploiting others at Capital Cashino to increase his profits. The entrance hall of Hivory Towers features a big golden statue of Capital B which further showcases his narcissistic tendencies. Capital B shows little respect for Dr. Quack and treats him poorly, even instructing him to discard the vice president statue that Dr. Quack added to the golden Capital B statue because it portrays him in an unflattering light. Overall he can be described as impulsive and quick to anger, often throwing tantrums when his plans go awry. In Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, Capital B abandons his businessman attire in favor of an outfit resembling a military general. Through his villainous schemes he acquires the Hive Mind, a device enabling him to control both the Royal Beettalion Guard and Queen Phoebee. With this tool he creates a Grand Tome in Royal Stingdom called Impossible Lair which he claims nobody can beat due to its difficulty.
» Battle Procedure
When players battle Capital B, the fight begins with him hurling beehives that release swarms of angry bees. Players can evade these attacks either by using Yooka’s Reptile Roll to escape or by defeating the bees with Laylee’s Sonar Splosion ability. If players avoid taking damage, Capital B becomes frustrated and throws a tantrum, creating an opportunity to deal damage using the Air Attack or Tail Twirl ability. After sustaining enough damage, Capital B calls Dr. Quack requesting reinforcements in the form of Corplets. Due to Dr. Quack’s incompetence, he accidentally sends two Frostberry bushes along with blue Corplets, giving Yooka and Laylee an advantage. Capital B then flies around continuing to throw beehives which players must dodge by using the Flappy Flight ability. This pattern repeats until Capital B announces it is time to move to the next level. At this point the roof opens to reveal green lime acid and Capital B begins slamming himself onto the ground, creating powerful shock waves until his cane becomes stuck. This gives players another opportunity to damage him. Following this, he sends out even more angry bees which can be avoided by performing Laylee’s Sonar Shield. During the final phase Capital B flies to the center and fires stingers. To defeat him players have to dodge them and ensure they hit Capital B instead. After taking enough hits he falls to the ground, marking the end of the final battle.
