Capitano

Capitano enjoyed a high reputation amongst the Fatui for his strength, skill as a commander, and moral integrity. Lower-ranked members referred to him as "the ever-righteous Captain" and "the nigh-invincible Captain,"[8] with some stating that they would prefer to work under him, if they had the choice.[9] The elite soldiers under Capitano's command, much like himself, also held themselves to firm moral standards.[10]

The Wanderer, however, views such attributes negatively and points out that holding "absolute righteousness" is a potential hazard.[8] Similarly, Guthred, Capitano's former second-in-command, claimed that whenever he indulged in his sense of honor, it would result in him losing his chance to win. Though he and Capitano shared different views on justice, Capitano tolerated them, seeing that their differences made them the perfect partners.

Being the First of the Fatui Harbingers, Capitano is the strongest Fatui,[11] and has powers rivaling that of a god.[12] However, by the time the Traveler met him, he was in a weakened state due to the curse of immortality causing his body to "decay." Despite this, he was still immensely powerful — the Pyro Archon Mavuika told him that, during their fight, she felt as if she was fighting the pinnacle of human strength, and she considers them so evenly matched that a true battle between them could go either way.[13]

Appearance Capitano is a tall man with a rather large build. He has glowing dark blue eyes[14] and long black hair that protrudes from the back of his helmet and over his shoulders. His helmet obscures 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 the suffering that the Ruler of Death inflicted on them (surprising both), it is obscured from the player. He wears a typical Snezhnayan winter coat, which he takes off during battle. Underneath the coat, he wears a black bodysuit with golden chains and accessories. Capitano also wears a pair of clawed gauntlets.

Prior to and during the Cataclysm, he wore a similar attire to Halfdan, although with a black eight-pointed star, shoulder guards, and a silver aiguillette on his right arm.[15]
