So on the Splatoon wiki it says that Cap'n cuttlefish is older than 100 years. In Splatoon story mode, it says the great zapfish is exactly 100 years old. Does this mean that Cap'n Cuttlefish is older than the great zapfish? Here is the page on the wiki that says the Cap'n's info:

Cap'n Cuttlefish (Japanese:

I have a small theory. Inklings/Octolings do a have a life span of around the average human.
The governments of each species could have been free, but in Octavio's case, he could have been in a ruling democracy.
Let me explain.
His kingdom has been given to him. That would mean his great grandfather, his father, and then himself.
This theory could also work for Cuttlefish, but I don't think his son was interested, or, didnt wanna believe in all that UFO stuff. I wouldn't really sit around like that for years.
Supporting this theory...
I don't think old men like dubstep, no matter how fresh your generation is.
This also makes sense with his dialogue, puns. He could possibly just be a young adult trying to show dominance for his kingdom. (Sounds like my dog)
If so, and if my pitiful theory IS true, I'm shipping him with one of the Squid Sisters.
