Captain Bolton is the commander of the Caligula, one of the three ships in Leighton's squadron. He is described as a large, heavyset, coarse man,who is much given to bawdy humor, heavy eating, and liberal drinking. When he began his naval career, he was nothing more than a common seaman. His exceptional ability, however, allowed for his rise in the ranks.
