Il CapitanoIl Capitano (the Captain) is a masked character from the Commedia dell'Arte. It is the character of a veteran sailor who pretends to be strong. Many people see him as a hero because he had gained some success in a previous war. However, he really is a coward and got the credit for what someone else did. He can be an old retired captain, a character that Pantalone wants his daughter to marry, or one of the innamorati. As a coward, when one of the characters orders him to do something, he often steps down out of fear, but the other characters still see him as a brave character. He is often dressed in his military uniform. A familiar manifestation of Il Capitano would be Royal from the "Royal Tennenbaums"
