Van Crewes

Write the first paragraph of your article here. Van Crewes is a Stranded who rallied many other stranded to fight against the locust attacks. He is a middle-aged man who after loosing his wife and children to a savage locust attack, has held a grudge since. Under his command he has 13 other stranded men and women, along with two "homemade" APCs and devestating weaponry.

Baptism by Fire During Van Crewes's first encounter with the locust and his new force, the locusts demolished his forces, killing them all except Van Crewes himself. After this horrible fight, Van Crewes realizes he needs more men and better weapons if he plans on fighting the locusts. He sets out in an APC and brings with him all the weapons and gear he could salvage and went off to visit other stranded towns, recruiting people. Eventually he raises his force back up to over 20 men with enough weapons for 50.

Battle of Timberland Woods During their first engagement with Van Crewes's new force, the stranded are able to demolish the locust forces and the survivors run off, only to be chased down by Van Crewes himself and shot to death. After this victory and numerous others after, their reputation spreads and more and more stranded ask to join, resulting in his personal small army.

The Battle of Dresan In the stranded town of Dresan where Van Crewes and his men frequently stay and rest, the locusts attack. Their force is overwhemlingly huge, even startling Van Crewes a little. Nevertheless, he and his stranded hold out and battle the locusts to buy time for the civilians to escape. In the end after two days of intense fighting, Van Crewes decides to pull out, but the locusts send in Brumaks and they destroy most the stranded forces, sending the few survivors scattering. Van Crewes himself goes missing and the stranded forces presume him dead.
