The right-hand man of The Leader, or second in command. Usually The Lancer and a Foil. The one who takes over the "ship" when The Captain wants to be off doing non-Captainy things. Often called simply Number Two (or, confusingly, Number One), although terms like "first officer", "first mate", or "executive officer" (often shortened to "XO") frequently appear in military fiction especially involving the chain of command in a Command Roster. Compare The Lancer in the Five-Man Band, who is usually not too happy about that. Although sometimes the Number Two is also The Lancer to provide a contrast between authority figures.
