The Captain commands the guards who enforce order in the Aztec temple. He carries out directives from high priests Tlotoxl and Autloc, managing arrests, detentions, and security amid priestly rivalries and warrior challenges. He deals directly with figures like Ixta, Ian, Susan, and Cameca, balancing martial duties with deference to religious authority. Dutiful and professional, he upholds rigid hierarchies but reveals pragmatism when tempted by bribes, positioning him as a key executor between temple power structures and external threats.
