Below the upper echelon of House leadership are the Barons and Captains and the individual crews they command. Captains are Fallen who have managed to gather a following of Vandals and Dregs, who serve as the Captain's crew, commanding respect through brute force. Most Captains swear fealty to a certain House, but some operate independently. A step above Captains in rank are the Barons, whose authority are second only to the [[Kell]]s, [[Archon]]s and [[Prime Servitor]]s. They command their own [[Fallen Skiff|Skiff]]s as well as their own crews.<ref name = "Destiny"/> | Below the upper echelon of House leadership are the Barons and Captains and the individual crews they command.
