Capablanca of the Wizard Order of Caissa is a primary character from Dominic Barker's novel Blart: The Boy Who Didn't Want to Save the World and the sequel Blart II: The Boy Who was Wanted Dead or Alive - Or Both. He also plays a smaller, but equally important, role in Blart III: The Boy Who Set Sail on a Questionable Quest. He is the one who learns of Blart's mistaken prophecy to save the world from Zoltab.

The self proclaimed, Greatest Wizard on Earth, his eyes glow blue whenever he uses his magic, and they flash when the task is done. He has a long, white beard (A traditional trait among fictional wizards. eg. Gandalf and Dumbledore) and wears purple robes and a purple hat.

Capablanca has little patience for Blart, but tries not to question his previous studies. He is very determined, which annoys Blart and the others greatly.

Additionally he is probably just about the only character in the group who takes saving the world seriously and is more concerned with the fate of the world than they are with their own personal gains. That said he is extremely ambitious and one of the main reasons he wants to save the world is to prove that he is the greatest wizard alive. Despite his great wisdom and knowledge Capablance is extremely egotistical and proud. He is very learned but is evidently not omniscient although he likes to pretend that he is. Despite not being quite as braggy as Beowulf or Blart he does still enjoy showing off his knowledge and powers.
