As he buys Robinson's ship. Also, he agrees to take Robinson to Brazil in return for Xury. He knows to speak Portuguese, French, and Spanish. He is kind as he assured Robinson that he will take care of Xury and give him freedom in ten years. He has good contacts. He is a social man. The Portuguese captain helps Robinson in getting a job in Brazil. He recommends him to an honest man who owns a sugar plantation and assures that Robinson can learn and starts his own plantation business.
