| Name: |
Colonel Kevin Hastings |
| Position: |
Battalion Commander |
| |
Quiet and unassuming, Colonel
Hastings looks very little like the picture of a mercenary
commander. Serving several years in the US Army, Hastings became
fed up with the political climate of the active military. After
resigning his commission, he gathered several ex-soldiers into a
"security force" and hired out to various agencies. Black Horse
Security has since grown and become a well-known private firm
specializing in embassy security and counter-terrorist
operations. The Colonels' quiet command style and exceptional
officers make the battalion one of the most effective mercenary
units in history. |
| Name: |
Captain Robert Markham |
| Position: |
Commander, A Company |
|
Respected, if not universally liked
, by his command, Captain Markham rarely reveals his true
feelings to his warriors. In private or in staff meetings,
however, he is opinionated and outspoken, often voicing his views
with vehemence. The performance of his company is testimony to
his tactical brilliance. He has cheated death on several
occasions, narrowly surviving assaults on his positions. In a
battle, he can be found in the thick of the fighting, leading his
company from the front. |

|
| Name: |
Captain Jason Wingate |
| Position: |
Commander, B Company |
|
A man of quick temper and quick
action, Captain Wingate is one of the most colorful and feared
warriors in the unit. He has nicknamed his company "The
Cavaliers" and often leads them on daring missions. He was
severely injured a six months ago and only returned to duty in
time to catch the unit's current contract, during which he
returned to leading risky missions. There are widely whispered
rumors that he may not live to retirement and that may be his
plan. |

|
| Name: |
Captain Shane Fletcher |
| Position: |
Commander, C Company |
|
The fiery Captain Fletcher is a
flamboyant officer in the mold of the dashing cavalry commanders
of antiquity. He lives fast and plays hard, a personality which
suit's the unit well. Fletcher's company is often in the thick of
things, expected to assault enemy strongpoints and other heavily
defended positions. The Captain has been wounded three times,
including nearly losing an arm in battle. His unit has repeatedly
held exposed positions against incredible odds and has become the
key to any plans developed by Colonel Hastings. |

|
| Name: |
Captain Jacob McDaniels |
| Position: |
Commander, D Company |
|
Captain McDaniels entered the last
contract as a sergeant in the unit. One night, a surprise attack
by rebels wiped out the officers in the company while they were
asleep on the officers' barracks. As the senior surviving member,
he took charge and led the company through the battle. Given a
battlefield commission, McDaniels has spent the last month of the
current contract rebuilding his unit. |

| Name: |
Lieutenant Thomas Gray |
| Position: |
Commander, Gray's Scouts |
|
Thomas Gray had just joined the
unit when his wife and child were killed in an automobile crash.
Since then, his focus has been on becoming the best warrior he
can. He shows no interest in life outside the unit, even
declining to spend off-duty time with his team. When not engaged
in combat, he can often be found on the target range or engaging
in unarmed combat practice. The training has made him an
exceptional special operations leader but command has fears that
he will burn out. |

| Name: |
Blake |
| Position: |
Leader of the Alliance |
|
Blake got his start in street gangs
in Stratford, eventually moving up to try his hand in the
syndicates. When he failed to receive the recognition and reward
he thought he deserved, he went back to his roots. A charismatic
leader and careful planner, Blake met with each of the leaders of
the five biggest gangs and then brought them together by showing
how they could pull an easier profit working together. He knew
that much of the illegal shipments into or out of Stratford ran
through Crescent City, so he moved his operations there and set
the Alliance up as the middle men in the smuggling industry in
Stratford. With his shaved head and neatly trimmed mustache and
goatee, Blake is an imposing figure. His long coat is plain with
no logos to show affiliation to any one gang. His eyes, when they
are not covered with sunglasses, seem to look right through a
person, gauging their worth and searching for secrets. His quiet
charisma have earned the unquestioning loyalty of the five gang
leaders. |
| |
|
| Name: |
Warchylde |
| Position: |
Black Hand leader |
|
Warchylde leads the Black Hands
with an iron fist. He is psychotic and revels in violence for its
own sake. However, he is also extremely intelligent. He realizes
the need for good information in an organization like the
Alliance and has turned his gang into the intelligence arm of the
group. When all else fails, Warchylde uses his love of violence
to get the information he wants. He favors gauntlet-style gloves
and has added studs for greater impact. |
| |
|
| Name: |
Chrome |
| Position: |
Street Knights leader |
|
Chrome has a love of all things
automotive. If it has an engine, Chrome can fix it. Since taking
over from the previous leader, whom he killed in a bike-mounted
duel, Chrome has directed the Street Knights toward the goal of
becoming the best at moving the shipments of the Alliance. Chrome
has a fondness of fast, vicious battles. If he does not defeat
his opponent quickly, Chrome will order a retreat to regroup and
strike again. |
| |
|
| Name: |
Vladimir |
| Position: |
Youngbloods leader |
|
Vladimir has taken his love of the
Gothic and turned it into a quasi-religion. Easily as charismatic
as Blake, Vladimir's loyalty is unquestioned and complete. He has
no desire to lead the Alliance and prefers to lead his band of
followers. No one knows if Vladimir is his real name, but he has
adopted the vampire appearance completely, going so far as to
have dental attachments added to enhance his canine
teeth. |

|
| Name: |
Nightfire |
| Position: |
Crusaders leader |
|
The Crusaders' leader has built the
gang into a small, disciplined army. Nightfire revels in the
gang's position as the Alliance's enforcement arm. When they are
not directly involved in some action for the Alliance, Nightfire
actually has them executing "battle drills" of his own design. He
has read extensively about the military and uses his gathered
knowledge to further develop his "troops." |
| |
|
| Name: |
Argent |
| Position: |
Sentinels leader |
|
Argent has a business-like approach
to gang life. He leads his gang like a small corporation,
carefully weighing the pros and cons of a situation before
committing. He is frequently the voice of reason in the war
council meetings, constantly looking for the bottom line. He
maintains good relations with Warchylde, relying on the gang
leader's intelligence gathering to help him make sound decisions.
Even with their strong association, Argent feels Warchylde is too
hot-headed at times. |
