Flint Dallason

"With no more COG, all kinds of men are going to start thinking themselves self-important, start carving out by force their own little kingdoms to rule. But you heard my shit speech back there, I'd be just another petty little despot. I just have to carve that kingdom. As bloody as I have to be about it, all I have to do is leave behind something in my wake. Something better men than us can build on. If I keep that population I've got back at the Fort alive, they'll figure out civilization again for themselves. Anyone jeopardizes that, and I mean by attacking us, or fracturing it from within..."

- Dallason makes his purpose clear.

Flint Dallason was a former Gear officer who grew disillusioned with and deserted the Coalition of Ordered Governments during the Locust War, eventually founding a settlement out of the abandoned COG fortifications of Fort Pollux in the Sawblade Mountains. After the near-extinction of the Kryll in 14 A.E., Dallason planned to use the Fort's abundant stockpiles of Coalition materiel to establish a defensible nation out of the old military base, adding to its population by assimilating nearby Stranded raiding bands and occupying agrarian settlements in the area. His fledgling state was bolstered a year later by the flood of refugees after the Fall of Jacinto, welcoming them with open arms, only to run into conflict with the Coalition Military regrouping in nearby Clayvale.

Personality and Traits
"I aim to reestablish civilization, Davis, before it slips away. It's a fragile thing, people don't realize. They've had it so long they take it for granted."
