Field Marshal Greysworth

"Why do we still operate a male only policy? Surely you must've noticed that ever since Jackie Rowne, a woman, joined the north Heraldian forces that victories against Dragoians have actually occurred with multiple survivors" Greysworth trying to prove to the rest of the Heraldian Military that women were useful.

==Overview==
Born to a privileged family in the border city of Kjeil, Johnathan always expressed a desire to join the army and defend against the Dragoians, but was always denied by his parents. However in 1889, for his 18th birthday, his parents offered him one of two gifts, a car or the rank of Captain in the Heraldian army. Much to the shock of nobody, he wanted the army job. Despite effectively buying his way into being an officer, he suffered no lack of skills compared to a typical Heraldian army Captain and fit right in, being well built and muscular but with little tactical know how.
Over the years, thanks primarily to lucky deployments on quiet parts of the Heraldian border, he slowly worked his way up the ranks, becoming a general by 1904 and celebrated by getting married to his long-term fiancé, having a single daughter with her in 1905. Like most Heraldian officers who reached general, his physical performance had begun to degrade as he settled into the non-combat role, with a somewhat rapid weight gain from constant snacking and decreasing amounts of exercise. His battalion's higher than average success rates against Dragoian raids caught the eye of his commanding Field Marshal, and by 1915 was the firm favourite to succeed the Field Marshal, getting promoted in early 1919 when the previous Field Marshal retired.
He had started questioning and campaigning against the no women policies of the Heraldian military after seeing how well his wife took the difficult birth of their daughter, but had failed to make any headway until 1922 when Jackie Rowne exploited an antiquated military law to get into the army despite being a woman.
His strategies were always questionable and often resulted in massive human casualties every time his forces engaged the Dragoians, but was popular with those under his command by allowing individual squads greater flexibility to fight how they wanted and to exploit local conditions to their advantage.
His only family was his daughter (1905) and her two twin sons (1931), Billy and Ben, with his stepson having died in 1931 due to a Dragoian raid shortly after impregnating his daughter and his wife having died in 1927 due to disease. He has sometimes asked Jackie Rowne for favours, much to her annoyance.
==Death==
Greysworth died in 1944, 2 years after his retirement, anyone who read his personal diary would know that after retiring, he felt he had not much left to live for since his grandsons and his daughter had died in a Dragoian raid in 1942 (this is what prompted him to retire) and left him with no will to live.
