Sinclair MacVernac

Marshal Sinclair MacVernac is the Supreme Marshal of Antias, the highest rank a military officer can hold legally under the constitution. He is in command of the entire military of Antias and many Confederate assets. Unlike most Antian Marshals, MacVernac is Geldarian as opposed to Jefuitori. During his rise through the ranks, Geldarians were already becoming more prominent in the military while Jefuitori focused on mercantile jobs. He is the only Supreme Marshal to come from a lower class family.

=Biography=

Early Life
MacVernac was born into a poor peasant family, working the land of a Geldarian overlord, who, according to MacVernac's father, gained his land by winning an arm wrestle with a local Bey. Sinclair MacVernac as a child was described as quite violent, quickly becoming the virtual ruler of the youth on the plantation.

Confederate Primary
MacVernac is historically the only peasant to have ever joined the Confederate Primary. Normally such things shouldn't happen, but the commander of the primary was quick to make an exception when one of his men was bested in a fight by MacVernac, who, as word of mouth reports, was holding a stick while the opponent had a sword.

Rise Through the Ranks
MacVernac was noted as especially violent by his commanding officers, but was respected for his many abilities. When Lothair III watched MacVernac fight one of his personal guards and win, he immediately made him a Commodore. From there MacVernac ascended to the rank of Marshal.

Campaign in the Oberlands
After Marshal O'Connel died in the Confederate Oberlands Expedition, MacVernac ascended to the position. Here he had some of his most heroic moments. It's said that MacVernac, when relieved and reassigned a more prestigious post walked into the Imperial palace ladened with 2 full thick outfits made of wolf pelts, one for himself and one for the Presidiator. All of the pelts were supposedly taken off wolves he killed and personally skinned.

Campaigns in the Magocracy
MacVernac went on loan to Gallundia to perform more miracles, this time against the Magocracy. He sweeped across the island of the former Magocracy and was crucial in establishing the current borders. After numerous heroic succcesses, Lothair IV appointed him Supreme Marshal shortly after Kanalus Pasha dissolved the Council of Marshals.

Tactics
MacVernac is an upfront general, and noted for his use of formations in compliance with the terrain. Despite his hostile encounters with intellectuals, he respects his Archivian Meteorologists well and often uses their advice in battle.

Camp
MacVernac treats his men how he ideally views generalship. He constantly watches for brawls, and, instead of intervening, sees who wins. MacVernac is used to making non-diplomatic speeches, which, while disgusting the Pashas the travel with him, help to greatly boost morale. He often sleeps with his men and never has a personal tent. MacVernac follows a principle of don't give orders you wouldn't follow, and usually doesn't have to give orders, rather inspiring his men to follow him.
