Colonel Hershe

"I was such a fool, getting in a fight with that hulk of a woman, letting her into the army to steal my squad, I shall never drink again, and I wish I never had!" Hershe, a few days after he had unwittingly helped Jackie Rowne join the Heraldian Military.
Colonel Irack Hershe was a Colonel in the Heraldian Military from 1902 to his death in 1923.

==Overview==
Irack Hershe was a Heraldian Military officer who served within the Army well known among his squad for his impressively muscular build. His job was to command one of two squads assigned to defend Jokelhurst as primary officer until 1922 where he was superseded by Colonel Jackie Rowne, who had baited him into a mutual fight and beaten him up whilst he was drunk a few days earlier to exploit a Heraldian military law to get her into the army.
Misogynistic to the core, Irack only told the truth about his fight with Rowne because there were multiple witnesses who could call out his lies, both military and civilian, and he couldn't bear the idea of being beaten by Rowne again when told to have a re-match and he knew that Rowne would push it as it was her who first mentioned the antiquated military law following the fight.
During Rowne's first month in the military, Irack grudgingly helped give her rapid training in military basics such as drill, etiquette and weapon handling. He was surprised at how competent Rowne already was with firearms, and reinforced his idea that she had pre-planned the event and started to loathe her even more because of it.
With Rowne officially becoming primary officer of what used to be his squad, he couldn't deny it any longer that he had to take orders from a woman, feeling further emasculated than he already did after being beaten in a fight by Rowne.
He died during his first 2 month deployment under the command of Rowne, with those who knew him best suggesting this was due to him losing the will to live after not only being beaten by a woman, but losing command of his squad to one.
He was known to sleep with a teddy bear, believing it to be a good luck charm.
==Death==
Irack died while defending Jokelhurst from a raid by a small detachment from the Dragoian Imperial Army after being selected by Rowne to lead the decoy party, where he deliberately charged at the Dragoian detachment firing wildly instead of trying to lure them into a nearby wooded area to be ambushed like the plan, created by Rowne, called for.
He was buried after the fight had ended along with the other human soldiers who had died, but his corpse was exhumed and subsequently devoured by Rowne the next day while she was doing some non-military business, partly to satisfy her cravings for human meat, and partly because she really hated him.
