Captain

Background

Captain is a captain in the Spartan Army in Sparta, Greece. His son is Astinos.

During the events of 300 (2006) played by Vincent Regan

Captain walks into the palace as Gorgo watches Leonidas training Pleistarchos and tells Leonidas about the Messenger. Leonidas walks out of the gates of Sparta and meets up with Captain and a group of 300 Spartans who all have had sons to continue their name. Leonidas inspects the men, including Dilios, and Stelios yells that they are all with Leonidas, Sparta and freedom. Leonidas sees Astinos in the group and Leonidas tells Captain that Astinos is too young, but Captain tells Leonidas, he has other sons to replace Astinos. As the group of Spartans march, they come across Daxos and a group of free Greeks. Astinos tells the others that they are being followed and Leonidas and the others see Ephialtes on a hill. Stelios sees a village on fire and they enter the village and find it destroyed by the Persians. Burned Village Child walks up to Leonidas and then collapses and dies after telling him what happened to the village. Dilios tells the others he found the dead villagers and the Spartans and free Greeks stare in disgust at a tree with the villagers' bodies nailed to it. They march into the Hot Gates and see the Persian fleet floating nearby. During the night, a storm hits and destroys a number of Persian ships. As Captain is talking with Leonidas, Ephialtes walks up to them and introduces himself to Leonidas. Persian General 1 rides in front of a group of Persian soldiers and tells the Spartans to throw down their weapons, and is then killed by a thrown spear. The Persians attack and are repelled. After arrows are shot at the Spartans, a group of Persian cavalry attack and are all killed. Xerxes rides toward the Spartans on a giant litter and Leonidas goes to meet him. In the evening, a group of Immortals along with Uber Immortal (Giant), attack the Spartans and manage to kill a few Spartans. The Arcadians and Daxos help in the battle and they manage to defeat the Immortals. The battle continues the next day with the Spartans fighting giant rhinos and robed men throwing incendiary devices. The battle continues with elephants used against the Spartans. During the battle, Astinos gets his head cut off and the Captain kills a group of Persians in battle in revenge. Leonidas gives a speech to his men and the Captain tells Leonidas he regrets not telling Astinos that he loved him. The Spartans are surrounded by the Persian army and Persian General 2 walks up and says Xerxes has come to admire the Spartans for their fighting spirit. Ephialtes pleads with Leonidas to surrender and Persian General 2 tells Leonidas he and his men will live if he kneels to Xerxes. Leonidas drops his armor and weapons and kneels before calling out to Stelios, who jumps off Leonidas' back and stabs Persian General 2 with a spear. Leonidas throws his spear and it slices Xerxes across the cheek, proving he is not a god. Leonidas and the Spartans are then slaughtered.
