Commander General

The Commander General of Hu is the highest ranking officer and leader of the kingdom's army, second only to the king.

The current Commander General (given name Joab) is a grizzled veteran who has fought many battles alongside the King of Hu and is the king's oldest and most loyal friend. The Commander General was born in Canidia into the impoverished cadet branch of a noble family.

After the Treaty of Natrix was signed the Commander General returned to Hu on one of the two Hu ships which arrived safely.

The Commander General has a contentious relationship with the Crown Prince and Princess due to their differing attitudes during the king's captivity crisis. Joab is a sort of harsh uncle figure to the Crown Prince and Princess who find him intimidating if not frightening, but at court he is bested by the rhetoric of the Prince Regent and the Minister of the Left.

Joab is sympathetic towards the Queen of Hu.
