This depends on how the character sees himself (or if it's close third-person from someone else's POV, how that character sees him).

If he is one sentinel of many — so it's a kind of descriptor, like "the soldier" or "the doctor" — and he's somewhat anonymous, then keep it lowercase.

If he is the only one, then it's a proper designation: the Sentinel, the Winter Soldier, the Doctor.
