Rocco Alemkel



Rocco Alemkel (ロッコ・アレムケル) is a recurring character in the Uncharted Waters series. A veteran sailor who has served the Franco family for generations, he used to be feared as "Monster Rocco" back in his prime.

Role in Games
The original game introduces Rocco as the first mate of Raul Franco. Accompanying his captain to India, their voyage back home ends in tragedy when a storm destroys their ship. Only Rocco survives to tell the tale. Impressed by Leon's resolve to take his father's place, the old sailor agrees to guide him throughout his journey, often imparting the youth with valuable knowledge.

New Horizons has him act as João's mentor in seafaring. He is also vigilant of Catalina's wrath towards the young Franco, often thwarting her revenge attempts with ease. In Daikoukai Jidai V, he is dragged by his granddaughter Nina into joining the protagonist's crew. Rocco may offer ship or fleet advice for the protagonist like in previous titles.

Personality
Loyal and well-versed in maritime navigation, Rocco shares a strong bond with three generations of the Franco family. In contrast to his deference towards Raul, he acts as a strict but warm-hearted father figure to Leon and João, often finding himself exasperated by their respective quirks.
