Armstrong

Armstrong is the top Admiral of the Northern Ring. He is known for his relaxed facade and snubbing of traditional military ranks among his officers in private. He is considered an excellent leader as an strategist and a psychologist. Armstrong did not have a high opinion of the Nadir, nor her Admirals. This feeling is due to his relative age, he is one of the few admirals left from the time before the Estellion Sky Empire. He also is known for his insults and his talking during battle.
==Battle of Fallen Star==
This ultimately backfired on him when the Sabbatholm Admiral Helia Ordin was defeated at the battle of Moon. He was ordered by High Admiral Celestia to strike at them, and wear them down so that they would be weak when Celestia could strike properly. Armstrong decided that, with the help of the newly reformed Bear Clan, he could destroy the demoralized fleet, or at least, Ordin's part of it, in a single strike. He mustered his forces, and struck against the Admiral's forces at Fallen Star, an uninhabited Sky Island. He didn't realize that Helia was feeling extremely ticked that hers was the first major defeat on the Pillar Alliance side. He contacted her and taunted her, hoping to demoralize her further. She didn't take kindly to this and ordered a full out attack. After she read out his communication, her troops became re-energized and fought much more fiercely than Armstrong thought was possible after their previous defeat.
He started taunting her again, insulting pretty much all her strategy to date, as well as stating that her parentage was in question. This pushed her over the edge. She had her ship evacuated and took the helm herself, ramming her capital ship into Armstrong's killing him instantly as well as many of his command staff. Helia was recovered, horribly injured and nearly dead herself. She was saved only by moving her controls to the very back of her ship. Celestia promoted Vadar the Black Fist's protege Vice Admiral William Strong-fist as commander of the forces.
==Notes==
*His personality would be smug and annoying. The audience would cheer when he died.
