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.
