Rickers



Captain Rickers is an Imperial officer of the Maturian army. Rickers is known for having one of the toughest and most elite companies in the entire Imperial army. Rickers is also known to be one of the hardest and strictest trainers of the army, even by his officers standards. He is often described as arrogant, immodest and insensitive and despite his results as a commander, he has caused many soldiers to mutiny against him and lead to leadership issues. One account of Rickers' bad combat leadership came during the Gar colonization during at battle near the Niasensan River. A few soldiers witnessed Rickers ordering squadrons of men to protect him from oncoming Claka needlessly while the defense broke, causing several civilian deaths. Overall however, Rickers proved his company's worth during the Gar colonization effort to push back the Claka and during the Siege of Fort Vigilance. While Rickers has a grand reputation among the chain of command as a trainer, many of his soldiers have accused Rickers of making consistently bad decisions in combat to command. However most of these complaints have never reached Rickers' superior officers and those that have fell on deaf ears as they refused to doubt Rickers' confidence and record.

Rickers is currently stationed once again at Fort Vigilance and keeping watch for potential threats while training more regiments. He is known currently to have a close relationship with Commander Esla whom he met during the Siege of fort Vigilance.
