As I've said again and again, there's no reliable way to gauge the upper limit of the Captain's strength. People like to put him around 60 because they assume Solution must be the closest one to him in Nazarick in terms of power, as Shalltear would have otherwise referenced someone else. However, what the text actually tells us is that even though she has no special ability to detect the strength of her opponent, by eyeballing the Captain she was immediately certain that he was far stronger than her Vampire Brides and Solution. The fact that this was immediatley apparent to her supports the idea of a sizeable gap between him and Solution (which wouldn't exist between the sisters, save for the Lastborn), but more importantly, the fact that she even mentioned the sub-20 leveled Vampire Brides indicates that she's comparing him exclusively to the companions she had with her at the time. In other words, no, there's no indication that other members of the Pleiades like Narberal could beat him; hell, the idea of even a Solution-class fighter being beaten casually by Narberal's magic is crazy. The Dominion Authority and it's 7th tier magic is far weaker than the Godkin, this is outright confirmed in Volume 10, so why would 8th tier magic suddenly be completely beyond him?
