Social Status: Britannian Noble/Military Officer(Captain)

Appearance: https://www.zerochan.net/1342570

Personality: Argentus is at his core, a proud and ambitious young man. He can be quite cheerful and gregarious, having a degree of charm which allows him to socialize with others without many qualms. As a boy growing up in Britannia, Argentus had at one time dreamt of becoming the Knight of One and serving the Royal Family directly as the head of his Knights of the Round. Now older, his ambition is to climb up the ranks of the military, become a member of the peerage, retire with high honors and distinction, and to open his own personal vineyard.While in uniform, he is an ideal officer and lives by the knightly code of conduct. When off-duty, however, Argentus is quite easy-going and cool-headed. He is fair and considerate of others, valorous on the battlefield, honorable, generous and kind, and displays a certain degree of wisdom at times when asked for advice, military or personal. Because of the violent death of his family, he has developed a deep hatred of terrorists and is prejudice towards non-Britannian which has been ingrained in his mind as a child due to Britannia's discriminatory policies.

Biography/History: Argentus Benson was born on February 27, 1994 a.t.b to Greysteil Benson and his wife Julieta Benson. He had a younger brother, Griffin and a sister named Andreanna. As a child, Argentus spent his childhood days in Area Two and grew up there surrounded by his loving family and friends.

His peaceful days continued until he was nineteen; Argentus had a falling out with his father when they moved to Area 11's Osaka Settlement and chose to remain in Ontario to continue his studies at university. The next day an Eleven terrorist group called the Kenshiki launched an attack on the Osaka Airport just shortly after the Bensons arrival with several suicide bombers. The bombing instantly killed his parents and younger sister. Their deaths left an emotional scar on Argentus, planting seeds of hatred within him against the Kenshiki and terrorists in general.

Becoming a Baron and inheriting his family's name and wealth, Argentus made sure to finish his studies and send his brother abroad as an intern to the House of Lords of Euro-Britannia. He then left the day-to-day running of his family's multi-billion dollar corporation to Lucian Nylund, his business manager and longtime family friend. It was only after the completion of those arrangements that he joined the Britannian military, climbing the ranks and earning his knighthood. Sometime passed before he was assigned as a junior officer to the 382nd Ashfordshire Regiment under the command of General Johan Schwarzer and being the junior of Major Kewell Soresi, commanding a squad of Sutherlands which proved itself during the North African Conquests. Serving under Soresi, Argentus racked up a significant kill count of nearly 300 of enemy KMFs and ATVs and distinguished himself at the storming of Tobruk when he spearheaded the charge to overtake a major enemy artillery emplacement. His abilities and talents were noted before his unit was recalled to Pendragon following the news of Emperor Richards passing.

Like many of the Empires subjects, he was taken aback when the scandal of Prince Kyles illicit relationship with an eleven woman came to light, leading to his abdication being followed with the news that Princess Harmonia would be the inheritor of the Imperial Throne. Soon after, Argentus would be summoned by Kewell to his estates at Seas Peak for a private meeting that many other Nobles were to attend. It was there that he heard the plea of the Conservative Faction, listened to their claims that those surrounding the new Empress supported her solely for their own selfish reasons and thirst for power. The fact that they were willing to allow Long and his Anarchists to cause irreparable damage to the Empire just so they could further their own ambitions hit too close to home, reminding him of the loss of his own family. The thought that a terrorist group could be born from within the very core of his homeland both terrified and infuriated the young Margrave Benson, leading him to accept the offer of joining this Clandestine group of Nobles and commandeering their Knightmare Brigades in the fight to remove the Progressives and their Puppets from power.

Skill Set: Seasoned and exceptional KMF Pilot.
Proficient knowledge with wide array of firearms.
Acute sense of spatial awareness.

Name of Knightmare: RPI-209GK Gloucester Grey Knight Custom

Description: The Gloucester Grey Knight Custom is almost identical externally to the stock Gloucester model, differing only in terms of its paint job and head design. The Grey Knight Gloucester is painted in an appropriately dark grey color, with its shoulders, wrists, and fact sphere painted a light grey/silver color. Adorning the Knightmare's back is a flowing cape, red on the outside and black on the inside.

The head now possesses a visible green visor, hiding behind it secondary cameras and sensors. The Factsphere still remains above this new sensor set up, the green lens of the cameras have been replaced with red lens for aesthetic purposes.

Overall it appears to be a normal, if slightly customized Gloucester.

Weapons and Operational Systems of Knightmare:

Ejectable Cockpit: A standard function almost all Knightmares. In case of the inevitable destruction of the Knightmare the cockpit can launch away via rocket to escape death.

Factsphere: Mounted in the head/forehead of the Gloucester is a standard issue Britannian Factsphere, an advanced multi-function sensor capable of collecting valuable data standard sensors normally can't. It's hidden behind four interlocking plates where the Gloucester's main cameras are installed and needs to be exposed to the elements to be used.

Reinforced Landspinners: Opposed to the stock landspinners the Gloucester possessed, Argentus had the landspinners on his machine reinforced with strong materials and a little bit of armor plating to prevent him from being robbed of his mobility in combat.

Bullet Proof/Flame Retardant Cape: The red cape adorning this Knightmare is for more than decoration, it's made of a tough bullet proof fabric that can stop standard Knightmare machinegun rounds and is fire-proof to boot offering a little protection against energy based weapons like Hadron Cannons and VARIS rifles. The cape becomes ragged under fire fairly quickly and can't stop high penetration or explosive weapons, but it's better than having no additional defense.

Fixed armaments:
4x Chest-mounted Slash Harkens: Besides the two Slash-Harkens on the torso, two more Harken's have been added to the hips of the Grey Knight Gloucester. These new Slash-Harkens differ in design from the torso mounted ones, but are essentially identical in terms of performance and application.

Optional hand armaments:

60mm Coilgun Assault Rifle: A standard weapon in the Brittannian military, this large caliber Assault Rifle is best suited for Anti-Knightmare combat due to its small clipsize, high rate of fire, accuracy, and penetration. It's ill-suited for attacking structures or infantry units.

Modified Jousting Lance: The lance is very similar to the ones used by the Royal Guard and the Glaston Knights, how it's been heavily customized to the users tastes and specifications. The shaft of the lance retreats up into the cone itself for ease of storage and the razor tip of the lance spins upon activation, effectively turning it into a drill for added penetration and damage potential in melee combat.

Multiplex Chaos Mine x4: The Chaos Mine is a prototype air burst grenade capable of bombarding a small area with a massive amount of high-penetration shrapnel. Cylindrical in shape and easy to carry on a Knightmare, these grenades are capable of killing both people and Knightmare alike. While their hit area is limited, they can deal tremendous damage to stationary targets and any Knightmares foolish enough to get caught in their blast range.
