Kerry Pieterson

Hannibal

Lieutenant Colonel Kerry Lienke Pieterson (a.k.a. The Bitch)

The 3rd officer of the 1st Solent Rifles; Kerry Pieterson is an interesting character: both sardonic and light, caring but brutal. She was the commanding officer of the 506th PIR, 11th CAA, when it met an unfortunately sticky end in the Singapore Salient against the Tarquin. An event that was traced back to Kerry ordering her regiment to a position from which there was no easy escape. This callousness lead to her being stripped of rank, court marshalled and imprisoned for 25 years. However, she was rescued by Macgregor from her jail cell in Las Vegas, because he had information that cleared her, he needing her experience.

Personal history

Born to an Xhosan descent mother and an Afrikaans descent father, you couldn't get much more South African then Kerry Pieterson. Having had a quiet childhood, living on the colony of Johannesburg, in the South African sector, Kerry enrolled on the Xhosan literature course at Praetoria University. She completed her degree with a 2.1 with honours. She had decided to join the army in the final year of her degree, intending on becoming an intelligence officer, information processing being something she was particularly good at. She, somehow, ended up working for the American light infantry regiment, the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, as 

In the end, she did do the S-2 job at company and regt levels.  By 2975, Pieterson had become the commander of the entire regiment. In all her prospects, were looking extremely good.

And then she made the fatal error. Whilst defending the planet of Madina, in the colony of Accra, she allowed herself to be backed into a literal corner, and her regiment massacred. She was arrested, and court-martialled. The result was that Pieterson, was stripped of rank, DSO, and sentenced to 25 years imprisonment.

Due to her previous working relationship with Richard Bartlett , formed when their respective regiments were defending the African Supersector, when Alastair Macgregor and Richard were looking for the commander of 3rd Battalion Richard suggested Kerry, as the last he had heard of her she had been promoted to the 2iC of the 506th. This would be a slight demotion but it would only be temporary.

Upon discovering her fate, Alastair still accepted her on as a problem case, though the Adjutant General's Corps were extremely angry because she had only served 3 and a half years, as she had the experience that he needed as a career light infantry line officer.
