El Capitan

El Capitan Croll is one of Pure's main characters and some chapters are narrated from his point of view.

Physical Appearance
El Capitan was outside of the Dome during the Detonations riding a dirt bike with his brother, Helmud. The two fused together creating a visual effect of a permanent piggyback ride.

Before the Detonation
El Capitan and Helmud were mostly raised by their mother after their father left before they were old enough to remember. He was born under a different name but his mother always called him El Capitan so after her death when he was 9, El Capitan decided to retire his official name and be known only as El Capitan Croll. The young brothers decided they didn't need to find a new guardian and chose to fend for themselves. They constructed a fort to live in and collected guns which they buried and later dug up to defend themselves in the first few months following the Detonations.
