Bio
Once brash and bold explorers, Captain Celaeno and her crew are now relegated to serving as mere messengers for the Storm King. But all that changes when Captain Celaeno discovers the ponies aboard her ship. They remind her of how awesome she once was and encourage her to return to her adventurous and courageous ways. In the end, the Captain and her crew play a vital role in helping Princess Twilight and her friends save Equestria from the Storm King.

Role in Film
Celaeno and her crew are first seen leaving Klugetown on one of their delivery runs of Storm King merchandise when the Mane Six manage to make it aboard their airship. Though initially thinking they had company, Celaeno's crewmen take the Mane Six's presence for rats. However, some time later, the Mane Six are discovered by Celaeno's crew, and per the Storm King's rule book, Celaeno intends to have them thrown overboard, but is interrupted by their mandatory-issued lunch break. Allowing the Mane Six to have lunch with them before carrying out her orders and have them thrown overboard, when Rainbow discovers that Celaeno and her crew used to be pirates, Rainbow Dash is able to convince Celaeno through the song Time to Be Awesome to mutiny and return to her old life as a pirate, agreeing to take them to Mount Aris to meet with the Queen of the Hippogriffs, having her crew unfurl her airship's rainbow sails as they set course in that direction. However, when Rainbow celebrates by performing a sonic rainboom, she unintentionally alerts Tempest Shadow to their whereabouts, resulting in Celaeno's ship being harpooned by Tempest's and boarded, with Tempest warning Celaeno of the consequences should she be harboring fugitives on her ship.

The Mane Six escape thanks to Twilight's clever thinking, but leave the map pointing the way to Mount Aris behind, proving that they were on Celaeno's ship. Furious over Celaeno and Capper's deception, Tempest personally rips Celaeno's beloved airship to pieces as punishment.

Luckily, Celeano and her crew survive the destruction of their ship by Tempest, and together with Capper, arrive to aid the Mane Six with rescuing Twilight, who had just been captured by Tempest and taken back to Canterlot. Though they lost their ship, Celaeno and her crew are still grateful for the Mane Six restoring their spirits, and are ready to help.

Returning to Canterlot, Celaeno and her crew conceal themselves in a congratulatory cake with Princess Skystar, while Capper and the Mane Six attempt to carry it past the Storm Guards and into Canterlot. Unfortunately, Grubber notices the cake, and ends up exposing the plan and alerting the Storm Guards before being subdued by Celaeno's crew. Their cover blown, Celaeno and her crew burst forth and begin engaging the Storm Guards, managing to keep them busy while the Mane Six and Capper head for the royal castle to rescue Twilight and defeat Tempest and the Storm King.

Celaeno and her crew survive the fight to retake Canterlot, and join everyone in attending the Friendship Festival and watching Songbird Serenade's concert that evening. Celaeno also shares a hoof/fist bump with Rainbow Dash.
