Colonel James Butcher is man driven by the loss of his family during a battle between two Neos over 20 years ago.

To top things off we’ll also be debuting the long-awaited Pirate’s Guide to Freeport this week.

Usually rebellious and rival to that of a protagonist, but would do things for the greater good even if that is unseen.
