Description: The first Imperial Field Brigade formed on Penthiae, the 42nd was created almost entirely from Misalinian recruits, a tradition which carries on even today as over 90% of its personnel are Misalinian in origin. Because of this, many of the brigade's officers had clerical or evangelism training, and some may have even attended the Paladin Academy before switching their training goals.
Commander: Colonel Mark Pahlen
Human Male LG Lvl16 (Cleric 1/Ranger 5/Marshal 9//Pilot 4/Fighter 2/Legionnaire 4/Tactician 6)
A Misalinian who came out of a family rooted in the Church of Misalin, Mark quickly noticed he had little interest in preaching the old ways while the world was changing around him. As he climbed the Legion's command structure as an artillery officer, Mark noticed that he has a knack for motivating others. Although he appears to have a loud, outspoken, and almost brash personality that's better suited for Noncoms than commandant-grade officers, he is actually quite considerate of battlefield factors and simply has an ability to act hopeful and confident even when pondering the most puzzling or depressing thoughts. The troops claim that he's someone who wouldn't falter or show uncertainty even if his command bridge was being blasted apart. His tactics are typically straightforward, althought several simulations have revealed that he has a bit of a battle-line opportunism streak similar to that of Alexander the Great.
Executive Officer: Major Torsten Rantzau
Human Male LN Lvl15 (Artificer 8/Ranger 3/Legionnaire 4//Expert 8/Fighter 1/Tactician 6)
Torsten is a rare individual who joined the regular Field Legion already with artificing and engineering background and then climbed to a position higher than the Captain of an Engineering Company. Not much is known about his personality except that the man is very quiet, levelminded, and asserts himself only when necessary. He does have a mild interest in METAACs, while may explain the reasoning behind his career choices.Statistics: Posted by Zanaikin — Wed Mar 25, 2009 11:05 pm
