==Overview==
Captain Harlock is a man of honor who, betrayed by a corrupt society, chose to sail the Sea of Stars as a Space Pirate to remain true to his ideals. Although he has left behind an Earth which hates and fears him, Harlock remains willing and able to fight for his homeworld in its times of need. Nevertheless, he's not motivated by patriotism; he swore an oath to fight for only what he believes in.
==Personality==
Captain Harlock becomes a space pirate with an individualist philosophy of life. He is noble as he is taciturn, rebellious, stoically fighting against totalitarian regimes, whether they be Earth-born or alien. In his own words, he "fights for no one's sake, only for something deep in his heart." Likewise, he shows no fear of death.
==Powers and Abilities==
Captain Harlock is a man who is a skilled speaker and fighter able to inspire others to his cause with little effort. He has an impressive marksman and swordsman able to take out most opponents when needed. This combined with his leadership makes most who follow him willing to go to great lengths to achieve his goal of ensuring freedom. While not always the case in at least one film he was rendered immortal to where as long as the Arcadia remains functioning, due to the tie between him and the dark matter, even to the point he instantly regenerates despite being shot multiple times.
==Trivia==
*Harlock is sometimes seen wearing clothing with the number 42 on it. In Japanese culture, the number 42 is associated with death (the numbers, pronounced separately as "four two", sound like the words "shi ni" -- meaning "to death"), showing Harlock's fearless character.
*Many people say that Captain Harlock resembles Black Jack due to the scars across the side of their faces.
