The Order of the Empire is a large but loose association of Imperial Veterans who have banded together as mercenaries following the fall of the Imperial military. Together they have answered the Emperor's call to arms, asking in return for only enough money to sustain themselves. These Veterans are all patriots at heart and believe that by preserving the Empire they can secure a long and peaceful future for all.

Hannes Schaeffer is the leader of the Order and his own close circle of warriors are some of the best soldiers the Emperor has at his disposal. Due to the independent and versatile nature of the group the Emperor gifted Hannes and his inner circle with three messenger hawks that they might better serve the Empire they hold so dear.

Name: Hannes Schaefer
Age: 22
Race: Human
Province: Garna
Weapons: Crossbow, dagger and bastard sword
Skills: Marksmanship, swordsmanship, hand to hand combat, infantry tactics

Bio: Hannes is a veteran soldier, he fought throughout the wars that brought the Empire into existence often on the front lines. He fought bravely under the banner of Malkut dynasty killing a great many enemies on the field of battle seeking fame and fortune. Hannes is a true patriot at heart and will effect Imperial doctrine and training to the letter, as far as he is concerned the Empire comes first in all matters.

During the war he was a Lieutenant in the Emperor's army, that was before the army collapsed in the devastation following the war. After this turn of events Hannes called a great number of Veterans to his banner creating the Order of the Empire, a mercenary group of sorts, but one who's purpose is to serve the Empire above all else.

He and his men are spread thin however, their skills employed across the Empire's territory. So it is that Hannes has immediate command over no more than 5 men, however he and this inner circle are willing to do whatever it takes to preserve the Empire.
