Biography[]

Background & The Frontier Wars[]

General Herman was a young Frontier Officer in the first Frontier War. He was in charge of the Last Stand at Red Rock at Fort 51 where he managed to defeat advancing Tundran forces commanded by Tsar Gorgi of the Tundran Territories. After his success at Red Rock, he was given the task to repel the invading Tundran forces across the Western Frontier's borderlands to the Tundran border where his forces defeated the Tundrans, forcing Tsar Gorgi to sign a peace with the Frontier ending the Border Wars.

Thirty years later, the war was restarted when Tsar Gorgi launched a secret invasion on the Frontier due to his belief that his son; Marshal Nova, and his progressive ideas would weaken the Tundra's military, and image. Both Herman and Gorgi butted heads once again for most of the war.

Later in the conflict, both sides eventually fell to a stalemate until the Xylvanian Air Force came and bombed both Frontier and Tundran soldiers, this led to both sides finally agreeing to a ceasefire to fight the Xylvanian threat with Herman feeling uneasy but understanding the situation.

Personality[]

General Herman is such a bundle of aggressive energy, so much in fact that two generations of Frontier tanks were named after him. His immense drive keeps the Frontier forces motivated, and on alert. Herman is gruff, but playful. With a fascination for battle and sports, usually referring to battle plans as "plays" like in American Football, Herman is affectionately known as "Coach" by Frontier troops.

Herman is gung-ho, rambunctious, hot-tempered and loud, but he is still a respectable General nonetheless. He has a code of chivalry of sorts, paying respect to ladies and he cares deeply for those who serve under him. He is an honest, firm, strong-willed, courageous leader with a heart of gold and a strong sense of justice.

Trivia[]

  • General Herman's character seems to be based off of Major General Colt of Kelly's Heroes and General George S. Patton of the U.S 3rd Army who was known for his aggressive demeanor and clever use of tanks.
  • Also, the Western Frontier's Mk. 5 Light Tank and M1A5 Heavy Tank were named after Herman which is somewhat similar to the fact that Patton had four tanks named after him.
    • His Last Stand at Red Rock is also a reference to the Alamo, matching up with Herman's southern accent.
  • General Herman's character is also similar to Full Metal Jacket's Gunnery Sgt. Hartman since he is aged, loud, disciplined, and widely known as the definitive stereotype of a drill sergeant.
  • Of all the CO's, Herman seems to be the least serious with the Commander, cracking jokes and praising him in a very heart-to-heart way.
