“You’re out of your depth. This village belongs to the Company now. Go back to your boat before I decide your lives are worth less than the lead in my rifle.”

The Veteran is the absolute authority wherever the Black Briar Company has taken root. A survivor of a dozen border wars, he views occupation as a simple business arrangement — and views anyone who disrupts it as a liability to be corrected.

He rarely moves from his command position unless the situation demands it personally. When it does, those involved rarely get a second chance to make the same mistake.
