I thought Sil and Paulie were both bumped up to captain - they were equal. But now Sil is consiglieri, and there's only one of those...
(copied from the HBO website):
Silvio's function in the Soprano crew is as consigliere to Tony, a task to which he's well suited. Like the other members of Tony's inner circle, he's been around the business his entire life. Unlike Tony's other confidantes, however, Silvio is not a slave to his impulses. He's an even-tempered, reasonable man; capable of seeing a situation from all angles and giving Tony a solid read of it.
