The reason Onstein is captain is since there is no other knights left. Artorias is now of the Abyss the others are presumed deceased. Also Abyss Artorias is far less powerful than Abyssless Artorias since first, it is said that the knight on the cover of dark soul one is Artorias traversing the Abyss. His sword iss held in his left hand which is ruined when you meet him, meaning he is fighting with his non dominant hand. Also his shield is gone. He also appears to be withering due to the effects of the Abyss, a point which is further enforced when the other knights praise you for 'Freeing' him, implying he was in a state of decay, torture and all other nasty things.
