Main Characters
William Barnes- William joined the British Army at age twenty-three, and was appointed Sergeant at twenty-six. He had been in the militia groups as support for three years prior but was advanced due to his skill level. A good friend of his general, he is a loyal and honorable soldier ready to lay down his life to protect others.
Tristan Brochard- Tristan Brochard, a twenty-five-year-old French soldier, joined the French Militia at age twenty-three after his older brother Jaq was killed in the war. A quick friend of Will’s, after only knowing him for a day, he makes a great soldier, always having his allies’ backs.
Corey Marshall- Corey joined the British Army shortly after he turned twenty, but was kept from the front lines for three years on account of his recklessness. After being disciplined and well trained, Corey was shipped to the front lines in Poland, where he met Will for the first time. Forming an immediate friendship, the two never left each other’s sides after that. A twenty-five-year-old Lance Corporal, Corey’s skill and allegiance has brought him far in this war.
Maxwell Schindler- Max never wanted to join the German Nazi forces. He never wanted to fight in any kind of war at all. But in his hometown of Dresden, Germany, he was one of the many young men drafted to fight. The youngest soldier that any of the men in the war had known at only fifteen and a half, Max only wishes the war could end and all the violence would stop.
Agid Weitz- Weitz was drafted into the German Nazi forces when he was twenty-five, and was placed in munitions for his first year. But after many battles and proving his worth, Weitz was ranked as a Corporal and put in charge of scouting groups, his discipline and attentiveness playing a role in his efficiency. One of Max’s few friends, he truly cares about him, even if his hard personality implies differently.
Alfred Hecke- Hecke was drafted the same year as Weitz at twenty-six. Initially, he was stationed as an air-support pilot. Three years later, he was transferred to the front lines, where he met Weitz and was assigned with him. Hecke, after meeting Max for the first time, immediately felt a responsibility for the boy, and was determined to keep him safe.
Generals
Generals Aaron Reynolds- Aaron joined the British Military at twenty-four years old, and after four years of being on the front lines, he was promoted to General after his incredible skill was proven to his leaders. A young and experienced man, Aaron found that becoming a General at age twenty-eight was a great burden, but one he was willing to bear. Forming a quick bond with William when they first met, he saw the same skill in Will as he saw in himself. An impressive leader and strong soldier, Aaron leads his men with great strides.
Gabriel Lefeuvre- Lefeuvre, a French soldier, was appointed General at age thirty-six. After a five year campaign as a ground assault Sergeant, started when he was thirty-one, he led his men into battle as their new General, well trained, smart, resourceful, and caring.
David Reichman- Reichman, a German radical who upheld the Nazi beliefs strongly, was trained as a soldier from a very young age up to when he was thirty-eight and was made General. His father was an idealist that believed in the superiority of his own culture and thus decided to raise his son the same way. A harsh man who doesn’t care about the cost it takes to prevail, Reichman is one of the more vicious Generals in the war.
Eric Hans- A German Lieutenant at age thirty-eight, Hans follows the beliefs of Reichman down to the last nail, often adding some of his own radicals to them. A sadistic man with a hatred towards all who oppose him and a certain fondness for torture of enemy soldiers, he is a threat to those who decide against the beliefs of Reichman and himself.
Soldiers
Milo Michaux- A young French soldier, at only eighteen years of age, and a very good friend of Tristan’s. A man with a dream to help those in need, this young soldier has the qualities and skills to make it through the war.
Remi Dupont- Remi signed up with the French Forces at age nineteen, then two years later was sent to the front lines with his best friend, Lionel Rodier. A caring and idealistic young man, Remi makes a good soldier ready to protect his brothers.
Lionel Rodier- Lionel joined the French Forces at the same time as Remi Dupont, having known each other since childhood. He followed Remi to the front lines at twenty years old, and with the same vision, he stays by his best friend’s side to fight the battle.
Oliver Clark- Oliver “Ollie” Clark was drafted into the British Regiment as a seventeen-year-old boy, his skill being one of the things that got him to the front lines. Corey Marshall is like an older brother to him, and he looks up to him for guidance, as unhelpful as it can be sometimes. Will has also coached him through the battles, and Ollie’s admirable kindness makes him a loveable boy to all his friends.
Foster Curtis- Foster was brought into the war by his brother, Gray, at nineteen years old. When he barely turned twenty, Foster witnessed his brother’s death before his eyes and was then set on bringing down the Nazi forces. Fighting with strength and valor, this young man makes a valuable soldier for the British.
Brad Neilson- Like Oliver, Brad was drafted when he was seventeen, and like corey, he was watched carefully due to his impulsive recklessness. Will took care to train Brad, keeping him in line, however difficult that may be. Brad’s eagerness often got him in trouble, and before he joined the Army, it had more than once gotten him placed under lock and key. The discipline the army offered was a good change for him, and his behavior certainly improved, although his recklessness never ceased. Despite his faults, Brad is a loyal and brave soldier, fighting for what he thinks is right by his brothers’ sides through the strenuous battle.
