Major Harper

Army
Operational Intelligence
and a "mullah"
Major Harper was a handsome young man. Thorman gauged him to be regular army, probably came straight from officer training and had been in the army long before the reditus. He had a well-spoken English accent.
Thorman thinks:
Thorman liked Harper a lot, but he was not so naive to think that underneath the major’s easy charm there was a very intelligent mind at work.
Harpers thoughts
‘That sort of thing used to bother me once, Your Grace, but I’ve long since reconciled myself to my own death. No one can survive in this army without a certain sense of fatality. I’ve done what I’ve had to do, to survive, and I make myself indispensable to Bacon. Any qualms, any lingering sense of honour, or - I don’t know - duty, everything they drummed into us at Sandhurst has long since departed me. I cower and tremble before Bacon like a whipped dog, along with all the others that have abandoned pride, abandoned decency, in the hope that my survival may do some good. That I am currently better alive than dead. Or so I tell myself.’
