Victoria Edden-Smythe
Grand Marshal of the Northern Guard
Born in Swanscombe in TN 1877, the future Grand Marshal of the Northern Guard had a troubled childhood. Her father was imprisoned when she was barely six cycles old for involvement in a failed uprising, and with her mother always working to pay the bills, Victoria was left to her own devices. Perpetually angry and with a hairtrigger temper, she fell in with a juvenile gang, eventually becoming their Leader. Her conversion to Revisionism in TN 1895 did Little to calm her wild streak, and her teachers were amazed when she secured a place at Swanscombe University in TN 1899. Despite heated arguments with tutors and fellow pupils she persevered at her studies, finding a suitable outlet for her natural aggression in the UMFA's University Corps. However, disaster struck TN 1902 when a minor disagreement escalated into a major confrontation, ending with her striking the head of the student council, who happened to be a close friend. The incident occurred in public and the authorities had Little choice but to expel her. Having shown an aptitude for the military in the University Corps, Victoria joined the Northern Guard in TN 1903, harnessing her temper and quickly rising though the ranks. By the time of the CEF landings she was a colonel and her drive and bravery ensured that by war's end in 1917 she was a General. In TN 1918, when Anders Von Breslau became president of the NLC, Victoria was promoted to Grand Marshal, a position she still holds.
She remains committed to Revisionism, having joined the The Prophet's Shield in TN 1930.
