Reinhard Suntail

Reinhard Berens Suntail, formerly Vice Marshal of the Griffonian Republic and second-in-command of the Republican Army, is a Republican general. Suntail's reputation is generally seen as negative, as he has been criticized for vicious wartime atrocities such as the Rape of Crona, ties to ultranationalist groups such as the Griffonian National Revolutionary Front, along with banditry and warlordism.

Suntail served with high honors in the Griffonian Revolutionary War, soon becoming one of President-Marshal Alexander Kemerskai's most capable commanders. Suntail was promoted to Vice Marshal of the Republic for his efforts in the Crona campaign, where he crushed Imperial forces at the city of Crona and sacked it to the ground. However, Suntail could not protect the Republic's revolutionary government, and he was eventually pushed back by Imperial forces led by Erich Ebonwing.

Suntail marched to Cloudbury with Kemerskai, and participated in the overthrowing of the Duchy and the etrenchment of Republican control there. However, disagreements quickly rose between Suntail and his President-Marshal. Suntail rose in the ranks of the Griffonian National Revolutionary Front, an organization dedicated to a nationalist, anti-monarchist, and statist principles, but Kemerskai continued to keep him as Vice Marshal - perhaps to ensure his loyalty.

Suntail approved of the Skynavian crackdowns in 986, and commended Kemerskai on his anti-communist efforts and suspension of the constitution, but he disproved of the sending North of Claus Rosewing, a prominent conservative general in the Republic in 997.

After Claus Rosewing was sent North, Suntail soon followed in 1003 after he was sacked as Vice Marshal. The Griffonian National Revolutionary Front was sent underground after alleged plots to overthrow the government and bomb Cloudbury, and while Suntail's complacency in said plots could not truly been proven, his legitimacy shattered.

Angry and vengeful, Suntail was sent North, where he began warlordism and petty banditry. With the Kemerskai government powerless to stop him, and the fact that Suntail was still de-facto General of the Republic sent on an anti-banditry mission, he continued to rule the North as a lawless military presence. Suntail soon connected with Rosewing in 1006, and although they have their disagreements, they have formed a pseudo-United Front in the North to "root out banditry".
