Mercenary Captains

A Carrion King’s army is usually large, extensive and full of people of different cultures and races. Naturally, then, organising and commanding such a diverse force is a complex affair at the best of times. It is for this reason that the Carrionites’ mercenary armies usually have many officers and captains, to act as leaders and representatives for each group. These officers are often recruited from a huge variety of nations, races, and backgrounds, ensuring that each 'group' of an army is represented and co-ordinated properly. Unsurprisingly, an affinity with languages is a fundamental necessity for members of the Carrionites' officer corps. 
These Captains have likely served for many years and have become true masters of desert warfare. This knowledge and experience make them formidable opponents in their own right, and it is typical to see Captains fighting directly alongside those they lead. Some may consider this foolish, but the results speak for themselves. These mercenary bands follow in the example set by their leader, and the Captains do a good job in ensuring they fight to best of their ability. The greatest of these 'lesser' officers might go on to become Generals or higher-ranking officials
