got. His biceps are rock-hard and gargantuan at size especially when he flexes as he do superhuman feats with just his powerful body.

His legs are just as heavily muscled like his upper body as well as his back. His abdominals are sturdy and are hard as fuck.

Craig was known to kill a large number of unusual creatures on the Weeping Woods; Gaining the attention of House Crenister. This led to Thorsten Crenister suggesting to enlist him to the Nordic Viking army. When showing himself to the members of the noble, ruthless house; They were extremely intimidated (but chose to compose themselves) due to his gigantic size and build. Lord Thorsten indicates that he has "the strength of a god". During 1915, he was fully trained for warfare and was chosen to lead House Crenister's Nordic army to the *battle of Vulaki*, which consists of liberating a village and fighting the corrupt 387th regiment of the Valen army. Thorsten was also impressed with his service, Craig ended up being a legend among Crenisters and the Valenthian citizens, calling him as the "Goliath".

### Global War

Surprisingly, Craig Taggart enlisted on the Amphibious Panamoan Marine Corps; And somehow managed to hold a rank of 1st Lieutenant throughout his service.

Craig joined the Panamoan Army and quickly rose through the ranks, meeting William Church in 1938, before the Global War. When the war started, Taggart participated in the Battle of Ishmael Pass on the country Heliga in February 1942 alongside William Church, Morgall Crowley and Nicholas Wolfgang Bale. When he was ordered to retreat, he refused due to some of his company's troops being trapped at the pass. Taggart ordered his men to hold their ground until reinforcements arrived, but to no avail, resulting in a slaughter on his entire company. Because of his actions, he was given an Article 15 and a demotion to the rank of Staff Sergeant by Church himself; Causing a personal rivalry between the two marines.

## Personality

In addition, he wanted to make Nick "Wolf" Bale's platoon a model unit to wipe his slate clean, only doing so in an aggressive manner.

Moving on to the modern era, Craig is an extremely violent and short-tempered individual. He is very brash and tends to be very obnoxious to others around him. He is also incredibly cocky and has a huge ego. However he is less callous, arrogant and apathetic than what he was during the Global War; But he is notorious for being impulsive against horrible mistakes committed by his fellow comrades in the battlefield.
