Knight General

The first Knight General fought for his kin. He fought for those who couldn't to his eyes defend themselves. When he saw that the needs exceeded his capabilities, he swallowed his pride and recruited and trained help. This help led to great effect when no one believed. When he became incapable of continuing, those he trained he equipped to be able to handle the threats. This began a lineage that has been augmented by the inclusion of those who can provide for themselves and others. 

Private notes of the keeper of secrets Johani Memorn

The knight General is the leader of the tecknights. He is an elected leader from inside the Knights of Steel. To be eligible to be elected to the position, the Knight must have achieved a rank of at least a Colonel to be eligible for the position. The Knight General has equivalent rank to a Luitenant Colonel in the The Northern Alliance with a specialization in anti-monstrosity and mecha combat. The Knight General rarely calls the full might of the knights of steel because of the wide-ranging nature of the primary mandate of the order. When called together the Knights of Steel can bring an incredibly fast reaction strike force to bare.
