Ingma Brai

Ingma Brai, better known by the moniker Ingma the Bastard, was a Sevician statesmanm and general who served as the commander of the Firebirds from 658 to 661 A.S. Known for his ruthless approach to command, which earned him his moniker "the Bastard," Ingma's career spanned more than four decades before his death shortly after the Battle of the Bandit's Bridge, in 661.
== History ==
Ingma was born early in the year 600 to a family of farmers from the city of North Pyk, in western Sevicia. A native Itrusic, Brai was dyslexic, and struggled with reading and writing for much of his life. He developed an interest in military affairs through watching army drills at the local recruitment camp, before joining himself at the age of nineteen. A poor learner and somewhat of a rebel, Brai's ascent through the ranks was nowhere as quick as some of his peers, and he spent the better part of two decades working his way up from recruit to major. Nevertheless, his prowess on the battlefield was apparent, and a number of his superiors noticed his blind courage on the field of battle.
In the year 644, he was made a general, a role he would serve in for the rest of his career. He earned the nickname "the Bastard" for his hard, no-nonsense approach to leadership and his fearsome reputation on the battlefield, where he would lead from the vanguard, wielding an enormous two-handed warhammer. He participated in the first war against Duscador, and in 658 A.S was transferred command of the XII Legion, known better as the Firebirds. During the early part of the brutal Anaean Wars, Brai fought and ultimately lost two key battles, at the Five Statues and later at Bandit's Bridge. During the latter, he was mortally wounded during the fighting, and sixteen days later, on the 25th of Saturna IV, 661, Brai passed away from his wounds. He was survived by his wife of more than 30 years and three children.
