Summary
Reginald "Reggie" Hargrove, a 70-year-old retired British Army colonel hardened by the blood-soaked sands of the Falklands and the blistering dunes of the Gulf, was a walking proof to the empire's rotting underbelly. Gaunt and unyielding at 6'1", his leathery frame bore the scars of bayonets and betrayals, liver spots mapping his jowled face like faded battle plans, while gunmetal eyes glinted with the perpetual scorn of a man who viewed women not as equals, but as insubordinate privates in need of a firm boot. Misogyny festered in him like an untreated wound, fueled by decades of barked orders and unspoken losses, twisting his obsession with Emma Watson from a sweet crush on the wide-eyed witch of his middle age into a venomous crusade. To Reggie, her "HeForShe" sermons were insolence, a siren's call demanding the silencing thrust of his pent-up fury, a final conquest to reclaim the dominion age had stolen.
