- The Captain (Il Capitano) is ranked one in the Fatui Harbingers and is considered the strongest of them all.
- He is expected to be a playable character in Genshin Impact, but unlikely to be featured in the banners during the 5.x arc.
- Il Capitano is expected to be a Cryo vision holder and a Sword user, as seen in the latest 5.0 trailer.
Genshin Impact is going to release the Natlan region soon in version 5.0, making it one of the biggest updates in the history of the game. From the recent Natlan teasers, Genshin Impact has revealed the first look at the Natlan characters, including Mavuika who is most likely to be the Pyro Archon. Among the Natlan characters, the teaser also reveals The Captain (Il Capitano) who is the strongest Fatui Harbinger. If you are interested in Il Capitano, The Captain, then here is everything we know about his leaked kit, release date, and weapon type.
Who Is ‘The Captain’ in Genshin Impact
Il Capitano, or The Captain, is one of the Fatui Harbingers and is considered the strongest of them all, ranked first place. Capitano is said to be an extremely righteous person, even mocked by the Wanderer. He is also mentioned by Childe and Wanderer as one of the strongest Fatui Harbingers.
The Captain is going to appear in Natlan and likely has an important role in the story. One leak via White on Reddit suggests that Capitano is not a native Teyvat and comes from another planet. If this is true, then Capitano becomes much more important to the grand story, especially his connection to the traveler, who is also not a native of Teyvat.
Will IL Capitano (The Captain) be Playable in Genshin Impact
So far, Genshin Impact has made most of the Fatui Harbingers met in-game as playable. This includes Childe, Wanderer, and Arlecchino. Likewise, Il Capitano is also expected to be playable in Genshin Impact. However, recent leaks reveal that he won’t become playable during the Natlan arc. He is dubbed as the strongest Fatui Harbinger, so he is unlikely to be playable anytime soon as the game has barely entered its end story.
Will ‘The Captain’ Release In Genshin Impact Natlan
The recent Natlan trailers make one thing apparent and it is that the Captain will play a major role in the Natlan story. However, that doesn’t mean that The Captain is guaranteed to be playable during the Natlan story arc. On the contrary, The Captain has a very low chance of being playable during the Natlan arc. It seems highly unlikely that we would have the strongest Fatui Harbinger as a playable character this early in the game.
One old leak posted on Reddit mentions the same idea, suggesting that the Captain won’t enter the gacha pool during the Natlan arc. And the recent leaks confirm that he will be a playable character, but don’t confirm whether he will be playable in Natlan or not.
Genshin Impact ‘The Captain’ Leaked Kit, Weapon & Element
The Captain in Genshin Impact currently has no kit leaks but his weapon is expected to be a Sword, as seen recently during the Genshin Impact 5.0 — Flowers Resplendent on the Sun-Scorched Sojourn, Trailer. Previously, The Captain was expected to be a Claymore user, but the recent leaks via MeroMero, posted as reliable on Reddit, also mention that the Capitano is a Sword user.
Other than that, both the Ignition Teaser of Natlan and the 5.0 Trailer give a brief look at The Captain’s power, which looks like an application of Cryo. It appears that Il Capitano’s vision is Cryo, as he creates an Ice sword to fight Mavuika in the trailer. Now this is just speculation based on the trailer, which can very well be unnecessary special effects.
So, that’s everything we currently know about The Captain in Genshin Impact. If you have any more leaks or theories about Il Capitano, then feel free to share them in the comment section.
