El Capitan is an antagonist from Disney's DuckTales, appearing as the main antagonist of the five-part first episode "Treasure of the Golden Suns". He is an insane treasure hunter with severe gold fever, who wants more than anything to get his hands on the treasure of the Golden Suns at all costs, even if it means getting killed trying.

He was voiced by Jim Cummings who also voices Peg Leg Pete in the Mickey Mouse franchise, Scar and Ed in The Lion King, Don Karnage in Talespin, Steele in Balto, Razoul in Aladdin, NegaDuck in Darkwing Duck, Fuzzy Lumpkins in The Powerpuff Girls, Rasputin in Anastasia, Kaa in The Jungle Book 2, and many others.

Biography[]

400 years ago, El Capitan was a sea-captain from Spain, and he and his crew acquired a treasure from the People of the Gold Sun. The ship was lost though a model of it (which contained clues to its whereabouts) somehow wound up in Scrooge's collection.

He has spent centuries seeking the map to his lost gold, having survived through sheer willpower and his all-consuming greed for gold. He eventually learned of the map's location but couldn't get it himself. So he broke the Beagle Boys out of jail and promised them some of the treasure if they stole the map.

The Beagle Boys managed to steal the map, but Huey, Dewey and Louie were able to bring it back to Scrooge, after which the Beagle Boys wound up back in jail. El Capitan then formed a partnership with Flintheart Glomgold, who bought a candy factory (where a piece of chocolate had an imprint of the map in it) from Scrooge. They followed Scrooge and Huey, Dewey and Louie until at last they all found the treasure ship but the two partners in crime forced Scrooge and the boys at cannon-point into a lifeboat.

Things went south when Glomgold, as an insult, tossed Scrooge one gold coin which infuriated El Capitan due to his greed, causing the old captain to turn his cannon on his partner. They fought until the cannon went off and it sunk the ship. Glomgold was picked up by Scrooge and the triplets, while El Capitan was presumed to have drowned. But little did they all know, he survived by grabbing onto a floating piece of the wreckage, and vowed revenge.

El Capitan managed to find his way to the Valley of the Golden Suns at around the same time Scrooge and his group arrived there themselves. Following them into the Valley, El Capitan eventually corners them right after Scrooge makes the mistake of setting off the curse of the valley. Scrooge and El Capitan, both under the effects of gold fever, began fighting for all the gold in the valley, but Scrooge eventually snaps out of his fever when the temple begins to collapse and manages to escape with his family. They take El Capitan with them, despite that he wants to be left with "all the pretty gold". Everyone manages to get out of the valley before it's destroyed, but soon after, El Capitan breaks loose and runs back to the valley. However, when he comes to the spot where the Valley would be, he finds that it it is now all buried under a mountain of dirt and rock. Frustrated yet undaunted, El Capitan starts trying to dig up the gold.

Trivia[]

  • While El Capitan never appeared physically in the 2017 reboot of Ducktales, he was mentioned in the Season 3 episode, "The First Adventure" by Scrooge to a younger Donald and Della, and was said to have met the same fate as the original.
