==Gameplay==
He initiates conversation when you enter Delosar's Inn. If you provoke him he will attack you, thus rendering you unable to do the quest.
Captain Dennis is scripted to:
-Use his Potion of Frost Giant Strength if an enemy is within sight (can be pickpocketed to prevent this).
-Use his Potion of Extra Healing when below 20% hp (can also be pickpocketed).
-Equip a ranged weapon when there are no enemies close to him (his crossbow, which is marked as "unstealable").
-And equip a melee weapon when an enemy gets close (the Boomerang Dagger, in melee mode, if it hasn't been pickpocketed; otherwise, he'll use his halberd, which is marked as "unstealable").
As a level 16 Fighter, Dennis can be quite formidable, but fighting him from a distance can make it easier to take him down, as he has 5 APR when using either of his melee weapons, but only 3 APR when using his crossbow. Plus, the extra strength he gets from the Potion of Frost Giant Strength has no effect on his abilities when he's wielding his crossbow.
==Mod content==
The Sword Coast Stratagems revises some aspects of Captain Dennis. An SCS Fighter AI script is assigned for better tactical behavior and potion use. The Captain will use healing potions during the battle when HP falls below a certain threshold and quaff his Potion of Frost Giant Strength. The creature favors Halberd use in melee range, and most likely won't utilize the crossbow or boomerang dagger unless no opponents are close to him or are moving away from him. 
In terms of weapon proficiencies and SCS, and the Mod's mantra to not "cheat" with abilities, Captain Dennis as a level 16 Fighter can by rule only have 9 proficiency points. In the unmodded game he has grandmastery in all weapons, which is technically impossible. With SCS, he is assigned 4 pips in Halberd, 4 pips in dagger and 1 pip in crossbow. So, in this sense, he actually has a slightly reduced APR and damage output with his halberd and dagger. His crossbow attack will suffer a marked decrease in effectiveness, but he really doesn't use it with SCS either.
