There could also be positions on par with such as High Captain, Advisory Captain to the Empress, or First Captain but simply not called that.

Usually in various militaries there will be equivalent level officers with one picked as either having greater seniority or skills (or picked personally by the ruler) that will lead larger groups of individuals in a military action. A good example of this is the position of Commodore within naval forces.

Also, certain positions may be of greater status or importance - such as Watch Captain assigned within Dunwall Tower itself, as opposed to a Watch Captain assigned to clean-up duty along the Wrenhaven.
