Birthplace: Outset Island
Peronality: Extremely serious

Known as Outset's living encyclopedia,
Sturgeon is quite wise, boasting an
abnormally high IQ.

He has extremely sensitive nerves - quite the
opposite of his younger brother, Orca, who
lives downstairs. Surprisingly, Sturgeon was
an accomplished swordsman in his youth.

Conversations

Sturgeon shouts from his balcony:

'Hoy Link! Press L right there 
and use A to talk to me! Try it!

Link Does so:

That's correct. You're a smart one!

You, my friend, have just L-targeted me.
You see, when you press L, you can target 
certain objects. I, for one, use it quite often
to talk to folks who are far away from me.

Of course, even if there isn't anything
around to target, you can press L to face
forward, you know. It's quite handy, indeed. 

There are a myriad of other ways to use
L-targeting, as well. Quite an ingenious
little thing, if I do say so myself!

Of course, that's not the only trick in my
bag. Not remotely! I can tach you a few 
more things if you'll just climb up that 
ladder of ther there and drop by my room.

Link Does so:

So soon? My, my, my...
If you're already old enough to be wearing
those clothes...

...Then it's going to be very importand for
you to gather as much wisdom as you can
from now on! If you're to make your way in
the world, that is, Link! 

Now, I've been studying a wealth of topics
since long before you were born. I'm what
you'd call a brain-of-all-trades!

You're a smart little fellow yourself, aren't
you? I've been thinking it's time for me to
pass some of my wisdom down, and maybe
you're the one I should pass it down to...

Everything that you see tacked to the walls
here is something that I've researched
thoroughly. And before you ask, yes,
I do know my filing system is odd.

Organisational issues aside, however, it's 
all extremely useful information. You would
do well to read it all very carefully.
Reading leads to knowing, you know!

(There is a bang, the walls wobble,
and all the pots fall off the shelves)

Such a racket! Can't you keep quiet!?
You've knocked everything off my
shelves, you dratted hooligan!

Honestly! The hooligan I'm referring to
is my younger, and much less intelligent
brother, who lives just downstairs...

He hates studying. All day, every day, the
lout just exercises and practices with his
weapons. Does he exercise his brain? No!
The brain's a muscle, too! ...I think. 

Anyway, the only thing he DOES study is
the art of fighting. Right now, for instance,
he's been studying fencing and whatnot. As
if that's of any use to anyone... 

He simply doesn't know how to do anything 
besides exercise. I ask you, what's a
brother to do?

And then if you talk to him again

You're a smart lad, Link.

You'll find that everything I've written down
and tacked to my walls will be very useful
in life. A lifetime of knowledge, all for you!

You just be sure to take the time to read it
all through very carefully.

If you don't, you'll surely end up like that
useless hooligan of a little brother of mine
who lives downstairs.

After Tetra is dropped in the forest, he adds:

My stars! What was that racket outside?!
