This character has a great impact on the life of Crusoe and carries a lot of human values. The real name of the Portuguese captain is never given because this character stands for universal goodness of Europe. Therefore, the European title is better for the purpose of this meaning.

He is honest and loyal. He respects his duties toward Crusoe. He is an example of European goodness. He is generous in nature. He pays Crusoe for the animal skins and his slave instead of taking both of them as slaves. He even gives Crusoe some gifts when he leaves Brazil. This character makes the comparison easier between natives and cannibals on one side and the civilized captain who comes from Europe on the other side.
