Lachlan (Chapter)

IntroLachlan is one of the most terrifying Verditians of the new era. Much like Lactoes, he has had incredible acceleration in combat skill. Informally he is credited with the fastest rise to Knighthood.
Lachlan is one of the most deserving Verditians to hold the status of Verdish Elite. On the field he is an absolute terror, chipping away at any fortified army he meets.
As a shieldsman his abilities are top-tier. His adaptive nature allows him to best the most proficient shieldsman. Like Derath he is counter-adaptive, never falling victim to the same mistakes for any significant amount of time.
Lachlan's success as a warrior is only one area where he excels. As a crafter he made major innovations with generation-8 and generation-9 weaponry, effectively ensuring that Verdite operated with the best technological weapons possible. Additionally, when he branched into armoring, he built impressive auxiliary armors and added major leaps in prototyping kote and suneate.
Lachlan's involvement in the empire brought Verdite out of isolation and formed the foundation for positive relationships with Lothtarian organizations. 
As far as Verditians go, Lachlan has proven to be one of the most powerful and influential Verditians of all time.
Fighting StyleAs previously mentioned Lachlan is one of the few warriors to exhibit the counter-adaptive style of fighting. As such his intelligence as a fighter is the ultimate driving force to his success.
Lachlan will make short work of enemy shields by quickly intercepting and disarming any offensive plays.
His max-range abuse as a shieldsman is fierce and precise. Utilizing a punch shield he is able to sacrifice defense for acute offensive options. He baits enemies into making unsafe approaches and swiftly punishes every attempt an opponent makes to gain the upper hand.
Lachlan's talent, like most knights, is not limited to one style. As a two handed fighter he excels at making long range attacks that limit counter-play. His katana technique is stoic and dangerous. The most experienced katana masters in the chapter regard Lachlan's style as deceptively powerful (Meaning his initial stance would suggest inexperience).
His true favored two handed style lies with his glaive, Scrub-sticker (lovingly named by Hrazlinne). With this weapon he is infamous for shattering enemy lines into total dysfunction. His excellent footwork is precisely developed to minimize would-be rush attackers.
While a much more skilled shieldsman than redsman, Lachlan's battlefield impact is at its peak when he has glaive in hand.
