Neither. Othello was the captain, Cassio the lieutenant and Iago the ensign.
He is Othello's ensign and the villain. He is selfish, narcissistic, extremely intelligent, two-faced, and deceitful.
He is Othello's ensign or ancient, the soldier who carries the commander's flag, and acts as a sort of servant. He is the one who plants the idea in Othello's head that Desdemona is having an affair with Cassio (even though it is untrue) and helps plant evidence to prove this (namely the handkerchief). 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.
Othello insists the men put away their swords (1). He defends himself in his marriage to Desdemona (2). He demands Desdemona be brought to him (3). He insists arrangements be made for his wife to be made comfortable (4). He sends his ensign to accompany his wife (5).
Nobody really understands why Iago hates Othello; at one time he says that he suspects Othello of having seduced his wife Emilia. Possibly he hates Othello because Othello is a parvenu, a jumped-up galley slave no less, whereas Iago is of the established Venetian nobility. He seems to hate Cassio for a similar reason. Or again, he may be like Cassius in Julius Caesar--simply jealous. Whatever his reason, it is clear that Iago actually doesn't care about anyone in the world except Iago. He is totally selfish as the quotation "in following him I follow but myself" shows. Iago serves as Othello's ensign ("following him") only because it enables him to pursue his own agenda ("follow myself").
Iago, his ensign.
