The fact that he has the accent of the lower classes, and his insistence on wearing his green rifleman's jacket over imperial red does little to endear him to other officers. Still, he's quite clearly an effective soldier and has been at the forefront of assault after assault, even taking an Eagle at Talavera... |

A gentleman commander of the traditional sort, Fotheringham believes in starched collars, flogging malcontents and marching in tight formation. Despite being unpopular with his men he is undeniably feared and respected, and undeniably effective. His assaults may be weak with high casualty rates (as he's a fan of escalades and frontal charges) but he is an excellent commander on the defensive, with men under his command able to hold the line in the face of the most fearsome of enemies. | A gentleman commander of the traditional sort, Fotheringham believes in starched collars, flogging malcontents and marching in tight formation.

Waterhouse might be in the Army, but he's never been a soldier. In fact, he'd be hardpressed to reload a musket inside of a minute. Luckily, this dapper 30-something gentleman has an impressive mind to make up for this, and a natural talent for intelligence work and psychological warfare. | Waterhouse might be in the Army, but he's never been a soldier.

He is happy to place himself and his resources at the King's disposal, but he expects adequate compensation. A fat and ugly man, he is not beloved of the soldiers under his command, but they can at least expect that when he is supplying them that they get the pick of the best equipment, and are free to loot, rape and pillage as they see fit. |
