Captain (Lore)

Captain was a rank within the original Five Hundred Companions.

Each captain commanded his own longboat and it's crew of average 20-24 men.

After reaching Mereth and reclaiming Saarthal, Circle of Captains was assembled. Despite Ysgramor being harbinger, leader of the Five Hundred, it was decided that each captian and it's crew should walk their own paths. Thus captains became largely independant.

During events of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Fourth Era Companions do not use such a rank. It is possible that it faded away with the need of longboats as Companions gained footing in Skyrim. However, the idea of Circle was still kept.
