Sergeant Günther von Kalvar

Male, 43 years old, human. Zimean, from Kalvar.

Fellow landsknecht and experienced adventurer. Missed a promotion due to my actions at Makhattala. On my recommendation, succeeded as sergeant of the 14th after I stepped down.

Like the first corporal, has an extensive education. Ambitious, but has proven competent and was promoted by sergeant von Kalvar shortly after my departure.

Ensign Matz Schneiderman

Male, 28 years old, human. Zimean, from Kleinheim.

Fellow landsknecht, exceptionally brave. Recovered the unit banner after it fell in battle and was unanimously made ensign by the will of the company.

Soldier First Class Josef Krausser

Soldier First Class Darcassan Westermann

Male, 34 years old, half-elf. Zimean, from Zimmerheim.

Bastard son of a lesser noble family of Zimea. Decently educated in warfare, outclassed by the Frankonians. Unmatched cook.

Notes: probably the only soldier who can make good-tasting food with regimental provisions.

 
Soldier First Class Karin Kruger

Female, 24 years old, human. Zimean, from Erz.

Fellow countrywoman, not a landsknecht. Good soldier, has strong principles.

Soldier Second Class Kythos

Male, 30 years old, tiefling. Nova Aeran.

The best tracker and scout in the unit, skilled with a crossbow.

Soldier Second Class Rashida al-Sultan

Female, 27 years old, human. Yelanid, from Ashdrabad.

Cleric of Desna and former doctor. Accused of witchcraft and covertly recruited by corporal Vérany during a tour through Ashdrabad. Very competent surgeon and healer, possesses standard skill with company weaponry.

Notes: a very kind person. Appreciated by the soldiers. Is not a witch, still has divine healing powers. Even if she was, would have no impact on my evaluation.

 
Trainee First Class Maajid al-Fahmy

Male, 28 years old, human. Yelanid, from Trapizem.

Arena gladiator and show-off. Justified, considering his dozens of victories in the arenas. Has adjusted to military life well.

Trainee Second Class Vidar Berglund

Male, 23 years old, human. Morngardian, from Bornheim.

Strong clan warrior recruited during the war against the Chagoryn. His village was razed and most of his immediate family died. He adjusted to the company’s norms and regulations during the wars.
