Who is El Capitan?

El Capitan is a notable character in the classic animated television series DuckTales, particularly remembered for his role in the show’s five-part pilot, “Treasure of the Golden Suns.”

An eccentric, elderly, and somewhat villainous figure, El Capitan is a gold-obsessed explorer whose primary goal is to reclaim the legendary treasures he had once hidden centuries ago. His past is shrouded in mystery, but he’s portrayed as an ancient Spanish conquistador who survived through centuries, driven by an intense desire for gold and adventure. This intense passion often leads him into conflict with Scrooge McDuck, as both characters share a similar interest in treasures, though El Capitan’s approach is much more ruthless.

In the series, El Capitan serves as one of Scrooge’s early adversaries and plays a key role in the chase for the “Golden Suns” treasure. His obsession with wealth, lack of empathy, and single-minded pursuit of his goals make him both a humorous and menacing figure in the DuckTales universe. El Capitan was voiced by Jim MacGeorge, who captured the character’s raspy, eccentric voice perfectly, adding depth to his greedy, enigmatic persona.
