Field Marshall Heck

Field Marshall Heck is a 30-year-old Orc and commander of the Alfaxmos Imperium's colonial armies.

History
Heck grew up in the dense, narrow streets of Kriegsrest. Ever patient, even as a child, he sought the solace of discipline in the Imperial Army the moment he became of age.

The young Orc rose to the rank of Field Marshall faster than anyone in the history of the Imperium, mastering his classes and performing physical feats one would expect for a man of his immense size.

He has held the illustrious rank of Field Marshall for nearly a decade, and modestly claims to have 300,000 men under his command.

Characteristics
Tales of ancient Orc beserkers survive and thrive even today, with stories of clan wars and blood fueds capturing the imaginations of the Core Empire's people. However, they may be disappointed in the Field Marshall's calm demeanor and clean-cut style.

Field Marshall Heck is always patient and polite, and prefers to sit when not intentionally intimidating others with his stature. He holds duty and discipline in the highest regards, and failure among his troops is punished without mercy.

Rumors

 * Outside the Imperium, Heck is described as a towering inferno of rage and violence, with fire shooting from his eyes, drinking virgin blood out of skull cups, and so on. Even the shortest interaction with the Field Marshall will show these rumors are probably false.
 * Some say that Heck came across a Relic of the Old Empire during his travels, and that he's shoring up security in case Mr. X and his Ravenguard turn out to be as real as they are Relic-hungry.
 * There are rumors about the Field Marshall's tastes- that he favors barracks-like minimalism, but collects expensive, delicate trinkets. This has fuelled gossip about Celestine sympathies.
 * Considering the amount of time he has been a Field Marshall, the number of troops under his command seems low. People think this is a simple deception, others say the Kaiser doesn't trust him.
