Captain is the head of the ship which transports the main protagonists to the mainland where the 287th Hunter Exam is being held—Dolle Harbor. The Captain is a kind and generous man, opting to bring Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika to the closest port to the exam hall and teaches Gon the basics of steering a ship. He can be critical of others at times, as on the ship he calls all the seasick passengers pathetic. His experience seems to have educated him, as he is capable of accurately predicting when a storm is going to hit, hours in advance and navigate a ship through vicious storms. From his appearances on the ship, it would appear he is an avid drinker and is a smoker. The Captain has taken part in the Hunter Exam and commanded a ship for some time, as it is shown he also transported Gon's father, Ging Freecss to one of the ports associated with the exam 20 years prior to the storyline.
