[h3]Background:[/h3]
[list]Backstory: Konrad Louffen is the third son of a wealthy family from the city of Maceataby.  Not in line to inherit his father's business, Konrad instead enlisted with a mercenary company, eventually gaining enough expertise that his father felt confident giving him a sum of money to form his own company and make his fortune - which Konrad did not.  While he was competent enough to receive a string of contracts from border Lords in the Empire and in other Circle Sea regions, he found the constant costs the company brought with it, never really allowed him to save too much money.  Perhaps if there was a major war and he was able to pillage some estates, rather than sitting around, guarding them, he might have made his fortune...

Konrad had been under contract to the city of Inbur, when, rather annoyingly, the Modra host was transferred to the area and his contract was not renewed.  While consoling himself with a few glasses of strong ale at a tavern, Konrad made the acquaintance of Marius Panayi.  Panayi sold Konrad on the idea of a redistribution of land and titles, if they could get the elgafolk out of their land.  Obviously though involved in the effort would be the ones to benefit.

While the idea of land and a title was a great selling point for Konrad, he wasn't ready to actually commit to the cause until the news of the Battle of Lysfelt reached him.  With the Empire divided and no quick victory in sight, now was the moment to revolt.

Konrad's troops formed the core of the Red Army at Rodelkog and it was Konrad who gave the order for a general charge, relying on the weight of numbers of the Red Army, untrained and underequipped as they were, to carry the day.  They did, although it was a close run thing.  And while the Red forces captured ordinance and supply, they are carrying over 2,300 wounded soldiers and 1,600 are either dead or unaccounted for, nearly a quarter of their numbers before the battle.  Konrad is not overly keen on moving until the troops have had some time to recover.
