Faction- Hans&Co

Hans&Co are a minor warlord faction. They have their own minor side-story, but are mainly used to introduce

Faction Character
The faction has no real strengths. It is in fact quite mediocre.

Faction Weakness: Hans is a pathetic leader.

Faction Weakness: Lack of any real warriors

Faction Weakness: Quite small in size

Characters
Hans von Gisila, Colonel of Noble Ambitions. Hans as a warlord is a nice guy, but mediocre. He is indecisive and has trouble keeping his cool in battle. He has a dream to be a great hero, but really can't pull it off.

Marina is a potential future Badass later on, but at this point in the plot only shows signs of it. She's courageous and a minor Badass, but has a self-confidence problem and is far too loyal for her own good. She also is in denial about Han's flaws.

Raimund is the home town champion, and managed to defeat Hans in a single bout. However, when he faces real opposition he himself is cut down in a single bout.

Hubert is a subplot character, part of my "Behind the Scenes" plot strategy. Though he never, ever, gets much spotlight, throughout the series he is used to show the opinions of the common soldiers. His virtue is shown to be that even if he has no above-average competence, he has the courage to stand up to authority for the sake of the men and speak the truth even if it could kill him.
