Bradley is a model warrior, capable veteran, and military strategist trained by one of the finest military academies in oldworld history. Despite what may have happened afterward, he is also one of the Eagles' finest warriors and will not tolerate anybody saying otherwise.
A loyal soldier, Bradley earned his stripes primarily working artillery with his understanding of siege techniques, in this day and age, useful beyond measure. A calculating mind and occasional flashes of brilliance is the main reason Bradley has retained his position as a member of Gina's mercenary company and, at one point, Captain Fawkner's right-hand man.
The only shadow over Bradley remains the unexplained disappearance of his entire battalion on expedition, in which he was the sole survivor somehow unable to recall the circumstances surrounding their loss. Bradley returned a changed man, withdrawn, unable to explain why large parts of his recollection were now missing. It is doubtful he would have remained in the company without the backing of their new leader, Gina, by whose trust Bradley has mounted a slow but gradual recovery.

Thunder Cannon Story
Bradley's skills in the mechanical operation of all types of cannons is complemented by excellent sharp-shooting skills, swordsmanship when the situation requires, as well as fairly decent close-quarters combat abilities. A respected strategist, Bradley has developed a reputation for surgical strikes and minimizing civilian casualties, often quoting that, "Cannons do not win battles. Careful planning, timing, and the courage to seize the moment do."
Bradley was born into a relatively well-known military family in the old Solaris Empire, resulting in his acceptance to the "last class" of the rapidly-dissolving Solaris Empire's prestigious Royal Academy. Truth be told, the Imperial facade was already beginning to crumble before Bradley was handed his first uniform.
Bradley's regiment came increasingly to represent what the collapse of the old Empire might mean for everyday survival in the freezing world. Bradley still held out hope their ragtag group could somehow help rebuild the Solaris Empire and its honorable traditions. Most accepted the new reality: discipline and honor were dead, and survival required a cruel hand. The latter sparked Bradley's transition to the mercenary life and confirmed his worst fears. The Solaris Empire was gone and it would never be rebuilt.
To this day Bradley is still wracked by survivor's guilt for the loss of his regiment and, oddly enough, his memories.
How could such a well-trained force, led by none other than Captain Fawkner, just disappear? It was a relatively unexplored valley and site of many strange sightings. But why did only Bradley survive? Why can no one account for it?
Bradley could have been cast out on suspicion of treachery were it not for Commander Gina's abiding trust in the cursed man. Bradley has since begun a kind of regular pilgrimage to the same valley, seeking again and again some trace of Fawkner, his lost friends, or anything that might jog his memories. So far he has turned up nothing, yet still holds out hope.
