Captain Theudoricus Indoir Aldo (a.k.a. The Tower)
Captain Theudoricus Aldo (nicknamed "The Tower" by his peers) is an officer in the Coalition Defense Forces.
Physical Description
Body Features
Though originally reedy and frail, Cpt. Aldo is now stockier and better-built than many of those who once looked down on him. At 6'8" and 275 lbs, The Tower is physically imposing individual who uses his mass to trample over opponents even when not in his signature auto-armor.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Aldo grew up an only with his rancher parents in the small town of Heiferstead. A sickly child who preferred books and board games over the sports and equestrian pursuits of his peers, young Aldo was more or less ignored through his school years.
This status quo changed, however, when Aldo came of age. The Free Faces League requires all citizens to undertake a period of public service, with this almost always meaning service in the armed forces. Recognizing that he could not continue to live the way he once had, Aldo took this conscription as an opportunity to reinvent himself. The boy worked hard to overcome his physical weaknesses, drawing on heretofore undisplayed reserves of mental fortitude to push his body to the absolute limits. After boot camp, he was assigned to an armored unit, where he became proficient in auto-armor operation.
By the end of his first deployment, Aldo was scarcely recognizeable - the frail youngster had, by all accounts, become an entirely different person. While not college educated before his conscription, he was able to complete officer's training and, as a career military man, rise to the rank of Captain as of the year 9999 AR.

Accomplishments & Achievements
Cpt. Aldo demonstrates a tactical acumen derived both from extensive historical study and long experience on the battlefields of Medial G. His nickname, "The Tower," refers to his use of a custom BF-6 "Fortress" Mobile Stronghold Auto-Armor as a forward command unit.
Cpt. Aldo's courage and dedication to the protection of the Coalition was demonstrated in 9998 AR when, during an operation in the Booming Hills Range, he and his Fortress detatchment held Vernier's Pass for almost 12 straight hours against numerous waves of Grand Army infantry and auto-armor. This heroic act broke the Voxelian momentum and bought the bloodied Coalition forces to his rear time to fall back to more fortified positions, saving countless lives in the process.
Social
Mannerisms
Cpt. Aldo is known to be stoic and thoughtful. He prides himself on maintaining composure in the face of danger, as he reasons that this is one of the best ways to inspire similar courage in others. Though not known as a strict disciplinarian, his direct, deliberate manner of speaking has the effect of terminating debate. His men fear his willingness to confront danger, but they also respect him enough to follow him no matter how dangerous things get; it's often joked that, if The Tower moved to conquer the underworld, even Zevtwill couldn't talk him and his cohort out of it.
