He is Othello's ensign or ancient, the soldier who carries the commander's flag, and acts as a sort of servant.

He advances a number of reasons why he does this: because he was jealous of Cassio's promotion to a command rank, because he thought Othello may have slept with his wife, or because Othello and Cassio were both upstarts, neither of them Venetians by birth and both of them getting commissions through merit.

Iago wanted Cassio to drink more wine because he wanted Cassio to be drunk and argumentative when Roderigo would approach him later that night. Iago told Montano that Cassio was drunk every night.

Othello thought that Cassio was irresponsible and dishonourable.
