He could have saved me. He held my life in his hand, and still he let go. I may have been just a mere boat captain, but he treated me as if I was nothing! He is to blame for my torment here! I hope he suffers in Hades as I have. Damn that Ghost of Sparta!

–Boat Captain.

In God of War Series

God of War: Ascension

An artifact called Boat Captain's Idol is present in the game, although the Captain himself is not. It is a statue of Poseidon the Captain had to protect him in the seas. Ironically, it is in the Grotto, an underwater tunnel near the Harbor of Kirra, lying on a destroyed sunken ship. The way it is found insinuates another unpleasant situation in the Captain's life. This is the only humiliating moment of his life which, apparently, Kratos was not the one responsible for.

God of War

During his time as Captain, while sailing on the Aegean Sea, he saw his ship cornered by the Hydra Heads, and was swallowed by the Hydra King. The Captain and his men attempted to fight off the Hydra's many heads, but ended up being devoured. After Kratos killed the Hydra King, the Spartan travelled into its throat, to retrieve the Captain's key. Originally, the Captain was relieved, praising the Ghost of Sparta for coming back to rescue him, but then, to his horror, Kratos had purposefully let the Captain fall down the beast's throat, stating "I didn't come back for you."

Later in the game, after Kratos' death by Ares, and his descent into the depths of the Underworld, Kratos managed to halt his freefall by grabbing the Captain's legs. The Captain was also attempting to prevent his fall into the River Styx below. Using him as leverage back onto solid ground, Kratos stabbed the captain and stated there was work for him up above and he would complete it. The captain was not pleased to encounter him again and once in threw the surprised Captain down, into the river.

God of War II

During Kratos' fight with the Barbarian King, the Captain was summoned as another soul to fight Kratos. Surprised to run into Kratos yet again, the Captain started running around the arena, but was killed by Kratos before being able to flee the scene of battle. The way he killed him is similar as he killed the Rhodes Soldiers, where he stabbed them multiple times in the chest, or slammed them in the ground.

God of War III

A scribbled note written by him can be found in the Underworld, saying:

"He could have saved me. He held my life in his hand, and still he let go. I may have been just a mere boat captain, but he treated me as if I was nothing! He is to blame for my torment here! I hope he suffers in Hades as I have. Damn that Ghost of Sparta!"

In the Pool of Blood, where Kratos encountered his own fears, the Captain was heard shouting "Oh no, not you again!"

At the end of the game the Captain could have escaped from the Underworld along with the other tormented souls because of Hades' death.

God of War (2018)

The Captain is once again mentioned in one of the treasure maps. After his death inside the Hydra King, his key and ship were acquired by a member of his crew. Somehow, the ship ended up in the Norse World, where it eventually sank in the Lake of Nine.
