| “ | My crew and I want to thank you for your generous donations. Food, water, supplies, medicine. We greatly appreciate it. It will see us through to the next helpless colony down the coast... The world is basically devoid of fossil fuels. Not enough to run a yacht on, anyway. So my crew and I, we had to improvise just to survive. And we found a real special fuel source. Ten tons of pure power, chained to the front of that yacht... She's sleeping now... She will be hungry soon. | „ |
| ~ Cap revealing his true motivations to the colonists. |
Brooks Wilkinson, better known as Cap, is the main antagonist of the 2020 action adventure film Love and Monsters. He was a former Australian marine, but after the apocalypse started, he assembled a small crew, a yacht, and a giant crab monster to look for helpless settlements so they can profit from their supplies as long as possible. After they had enough supplies, Cap would let the people from the settlements be a source of food for the giant crab, letting them be eaten alive and continuing forward to look for a new place.
He was portrayed by Dan Ewing.
Personality[]
Cap on the surface looks like a well-meaning, thoughtful, altruistic and empathetic man. He cares a lot about making friendly connections and being on good terms with other people, but it's because of that seemingly friendly mindset why he is able to manipulate and capture innocent people.
Even when he had the colonists in chains, he continued to be somewhat polite in his way of speaking, showing that even when he reveals his true colors, he likes the idea of others seeing him as rather a reasonable person, although only for his persona and not for who he truly is.
Despite the time he spent with the colonists, he doesn't feel any sympathy for them and has no problem with letting them be devoured alive by the crab monster (who he also abuses and mistreats), and even watches from a small tower as the crab emerges and the colonists flee for their lives, hinting that he is a sadist.
Biography[]
Cap once served in the Australian Marines. After the apocalypse, Cap assembled Dana and Rocko as his minions. He also managed to "taim" a giant crab monster by tying it to his yacht with an electric chain, forcing it to kill and eat everyone in his path so the pirates could steal from settlements.
Cap first appears at the settlement of elderly survivors watched over by Aimee, Joel's girlfriend. Cap and his goons put on faux affable façades to manipulate the colonists into gaining their trust, although Joel has suspicions. Later, Cap gives the colonists berries, which Joel recognizes as poisonous. Joel rushes to warn Aimee, who was hallucinating from eating the berries, but the pirates knock him unconscious.
Once everyone wakes up, the colonists, Joel, and Aimee have been tied up. Cap reveals his true intentions before using electricity to awake the crab to eat the colonists. Joel and Aimee manage to escape their restraints. Aimee attempts to fight the pirates while Joel distracts the crab. Joel's dog Boy arrives to help, and Cap orders Dana to shoot the dog. Aimee knocks down Rocko and Dana, but Cap knocks out Aimee and orders his goons to flee with the supplies they got.
As the pirates flee to the yacht on a speedboat, the crab overwhelms Joel and grabs him with its claw. Boy's licks wake up Aimee who throws Dana's gun at Joel to shoot the crab. But looking into the crab's eyes, Joel realizes it was not malicious, rather just a scared tortured animal. Thus he shoots the chain instead, freeing the crab from Cap's control. Now free, the crab drops Joel and instead turns its wrath towards Cap for making it suffer so long. The crab swims towards the yacht and promptly devours Cap and his goons.
