Editing Il Capitano (section)

===Noms de guerre===
Il Capitano usually has a properly showy name for himself, preferably several lines long and followed by many made-up titles and lists of relations.

Some names are fierce-sounding, such as "''Escobombardon''" ("Fired out of a cannon"), "''Rodomonte''" ("Mountain-crumbler"), "''Sangre y Fuego''" (Spanish: "Blood and Fire"), "''Spaccamonti''" ("Mountain splitter"), "''Spezzaferro''" ("Iron-breaker"), or "''Terremoto''" ("Earthquake"). Some names are ironic, such as "''Bellavista''" ("Beautiful view", a vain but ugly man) or "''Fracasso''"/"'' Fracassa''" (the correct masculine version and an invented feminine version for "Fracas", "Skirmish" or "Big noise").

Some are dismissive, such as "''Cerimonia''" ("Ceremony", all proper manners and rigid, slavish devotion to pointless details), "''Coccodrillo''" ("Crocodile", because he preys on others), "''Fanfarone''" ("Trumpeter" or "Loudmouth"), "''Giangurgulo''" ("John the Glutton"), "''Grillo''" ("Grasshopper", because he is small and 'hops' sides), "''Malagamba''" ("Lame leg"), "''Squaquara''" ("Little Shi"), "''Papirotonda''" ("Round letter", a complaint signed by mutinous soldiers or sailors in a circle around the main text so the ringleaders or originators cannot be discerned), "''Tagliacantoni''" ("Small-sized"), or "''Zerbino''" ("Doormat"). He is also prone to awarding himself ridiculous titles such as "''Capitan Spaventa di Vall'Inferna''" ("Captain Fear, (Lord) of Hell's Valley"; the name of ''Vall'Inferna'' also sounds similar to "Va' all'Inferno!", {{literally|[When you die] Go to Hell!}}, an Italian-language imprecation), "''Salvador de los Vírgenes Borrachos''" (Spanish for "Savior of Drunken Virgins"), or "''Sieur de Fracasse et Brise-tout''" (French for "Lord of 'Knock it down' and 'Break everything'"). {{Citation needed|date=October 2012}}
