[@Eisenhorn] Out of curiosity, when were you thinking Renard earned his Steel rank? I see an intriguing connection potential if it were around 2 years ago, but I feel it might have been more recent based on the bio.

I had not actually nailed down an exact time frame for each rank, in terms of years in each rank, was kind of leaving it slightly vague for this reason. It is absolutely possible Renard happened to be involved in dealing with the particular group of bandits that captured Eustace, which I would be cool with having be the case.
