Capitan

In the Castillian Mafia, an honorific for a Family Soldier who has formed a diverse team within his Boss's group. Such a team should be effective in a wide variety of situations, and able to take on just about any job the Boss might need. A Capitan's team is usually assembled informally, based on personal respect for the leader, though in some families a Capitan is given official recognition by the Boss once the team has completed a job well. A team usually has between 3 and 8 members.

There used to be an equivalent Capitan rank in the Castillian police, but that was renamed to Captain when all government ranks and titles were changed to their Esperanto equivalent in <date event="New Castille's official language becomes Esperanto">2984</date>.

It should be noted that a Capitan is still considered a Family Soldier, and the title is only conferred by their immediate Boss or by the team. Nobody outside the Boss's group has any right to challenge the appointment of the title. A Capitan's next prospect for promotion is to join the Safe Men, bypassing Boss rank entirely.
