captain

Capitano comes from Khaenri'ah, and was there during the Cataclysm. He was already a military leader back then, before joining the Eleven. He was one of those condemned to immortality and his body is in a corrupted state. After that and 500 years before his encounter with the traveler, he went with his army to offer military aid in Natlan in the battle against the Abyss. He fought alongside the Nightwind Augurs, who granted him the title of "Sentinel Knight". His second in command was Godfrey, a military doctor who died during the war.

At some point, he was enlisted as the first of the Eleven Heralds of the Fatui.

Following the death of his fellow herald Crucabena, Capitano was present along with Scaramuccia and Signora as Pierotto appointed Arlecchino as Crucabena's replacement.

During Varka's expedition, when Mika was accompanying them, the knights accidentally ran into several Fatui scouts, leading to a tense situation in which Capitano was eventually alerted to the situation along with Varka. The two eventually met up and agreed to leave peacefully, with Varka declaring that he would have loved to duel him under other circumstances.

Following Signora's death at the hands of Shogun Raiden, her funeral was held at Snezhnaya. Capitano, along with the other Heralds except Scaramuccia, attended the funeral and questioned Dottore about the status of Scaramuccia and the Electro Gnosis.

Capitano is a tall, heavily built man. He has bright, dark blue eyes [14] and long black hair that protrudes from the back of his helmet and falls over his shoulders. His helmet conceals his face, which he mentions is in a state of "decay" and disfigurement. [13] While Capitano reveals his face to the Traveler and Paimon to show them the suffering the Ruler of Death inflicted upon them (shocking them both), it remains hidden from the player. He wears a typical Snezhnaya winter coat, which he removes during battle. Underneath the coat, he wears a black suit with gold chains and fittings. Capitano also wears a pair of clawed gauntlets.

Before and during the Cataclysm, he wore an outfit similar to Halfdan's, although with a black eight-pointed star, shoulder guards, and a silver needle on his right arm. [15]

Capitano enjoys a high reputation among the Fatui, and Viktor states that, if he had a choice, he would prefer to work under Capitano.

The Wanderer, however, sees these attributes as a negative combination and points out that maintaining "absolute rectitude" is a potential danger. Godfrey, a former Khaenri'ah soldier under Capitano's command, claims that every time Capitano gave in to his sense of honor, he lost the opportunity to win. Although the two men shared different views on justice, Capitano tolerated those differences, seeing that the contrasts made them perfect partners.

As the first of the Fatui Heralds, Capitano possesses powers that rival those of an archon. However, he states that he is in a weakened state due to the immortality curse that has "degraded" his body. Despite this, he remains incredibly powerful. Mavuika, the Pyro Archon, told him that during their confrontation, she felt as if she was fighting against the pinnacle of human strength and considers them to be equals, to the point that a fight between them could go either way.
