Caden Cross

Formerly stationed at Fort Bannister, Caden brought his platoon to Duke's Travelling Emporium under a new contract of indefinite length. Even though he's only a platoon sergeant, he's the highest ranking Talon Company soldier at the outpost. Accepting Duke's contract, he and his men have since established a base in the town and supplement Duke's newly beefed up security force. Friction between Duke's men and the Talon Company platoon has caused Duke to put some distance between the groups. Caden and his men mainly patrol the wall, oversee the contruction of the wall and provide beyond-the-wall patrols while Vincent and his men tend to the city itself.

For strategic as well as personal reasons the men occupy vacant homes closer to the outskirts of the town. While having a city like Duke's as a headquarters is a vacation in some senses, the men don't feel welcome. They look down their noses at the spoiled citizens in their comfy, cozy city but it doesn't stop them from enjoying the many offerings the city presented them. As far as Caden and his men are concerned, they're the only thing keeping the settlement from absolute obliteration by the many enemies wandering the wasteland.

He's got a shitty attitude and he's not a "good" guy by any standard, but he does have uncompromising standards. He is forever loyal to his company and his men which breaks down into other aspects of life. He'll be with the company until discharged against his will or death. Dutiful, he throws himself into each task and mission, giving everything and expecting nothing less from his cohorts. Between friends, his word is bond and there is nothing but the utmost respect. They are family and the only thing in the world that matters. Don't mistake his loyalty for any kind of character. He can be helpful if it pays.
