Captain Silvermane

Captain Hector Silvermane, or Captain Silvermane for short is the protagonist of the game Slaughter Horse (aka Pinkamena), unless challenge mode Make It Personal is activated.

History
Not much is known about Silvermane. He was sent by the Princess of the Sun to Little Hoofington in order to investigate and possibly put an end to the murders that have been going on since before the events of Slaughter Horse. Once there, he issues out orders to the townsponies to track down and eventually punish the criminals.

In-Game
In-game, the Captain's role is mostly aesthetic. It is him who gives orders to whatever ponies are available, sentences (or not) ponies to death by hanging at the day and it is him who writes his daily reports on the happenings of every day, simplifying the reports of the commanded ponies and the nightly events. All ponies refer to him as Captain on their reports.

Aside from that, the only other place where he appears is during the endings. If he fails in his task to protect the remaining townsponies and punish the murderers, a little series of text plays, describing how the town was destroyed by the evildoers and how he himself ends up dead by the hands of either the Changeling Queen, Pinkamena or the Drone (if both the Queen and Pinkamena are dead). On the other hand, if he succeeds in stopping the Changelings and Pinkamena, it instead describes Silvermane in a glorious light, detailing on how any possible remaining Changelings (such as the Forger and the Consort) have fled the town and how Little Hoofington will never be bothered by them again.

Trivia

 * Captain Silvermane has a relative named Chloe he mentions in the Day 1 report, which appears to be his wife, given by the way he (briefly) talks about her, and how the Queen can sense the love for his wife in the bad ending.
