### Gavey Peng

"*Don't you be doing anything crazy now."*

-  Gavey Peng's field advice.
Born in Rabaul, capital of the commonwealth Papua New Guinea on may 1922, Gavey Peng led an uneventful life as a dock worker. Gavey was given the surname Peng upon joining the Commonwealth Military aged 19, and climbed up the ranks in service until arriving at the age of 27 with the advent of world war 2. His political inclination to moderation and rather sleazy attitude to anything he deemed unimportant made him his nickname "Slacker". As World War 3 came along, The Commonwealth decided it couldn't take the risk of defending Papua new Guinea anymore, and outsourced its military assets to the Pahit Conglomerate. One of these assets was Mr. Peng, a decently skilled but inexperienced commander. As Gavey Peng did not show any patriotic zeal whatsoever, nor any other zeal at all, he was promoted to general, and dumped in command of the paltry lot the Pahits had assembled to protect Papua New Guinea, a rather unimportant land. Backed by a small bunch of reservists and several choppers, Peng soon found himself at the mercy of the combined military forces of the Empire of the Rising Sun, with no help from above and no previous experience against transforming walkers. Pahit high command fully expected Papua New Guinea to be fully lost by the time the might of the Allied forces managed to swing back into SEA. Surprisingly, it was not. Gavey Peng surpassed initial expectations by adopting guerrilla warfare, giving up worthless ground for miles and miles but leaving traps and resistance along the path. Stripping his field artillery of all unnecessary armor, the general made much use of it, blowing the slow mechs up from a distance, and subsequently concealing the artillery and men from subsequent retaliation. Though unable to retake Papua New Guinea by any means, Gavey Peng managed to turn the whole country in a big nuisance for the Empire of the Rising Sun, buffering the major assaults on the other countries around it. While Peng had no contact with any Pahit forces other then the men under his command, he proceeded to draw his own plans to sustain Papua New Guinea and started arming and recruiting civilians, a act officially illegal by Conglomerate Law. By the time Allied forces retook SEA and drove the Empire back into its original confines, Gavey Peng was still around. As Papua New guinea was freed after Indonesia, and the Pahit Massacre had already started, Peng was put on the blacklist of military officers on grounds of treasonous conduct. Peng, unbeknownst of his status, was assigned local command of Papua New Guinea by the Papuan Goverment, without any note to the Pahit Conglomerate. As the Papuan Goverment had declared to be done with the Pahit Conglomerate midwar, the arrival of the Massacres wasn't a complete disillusion, and the Papua New Guinean Goverment joined the Guild as one of the founding members. Peng, though officially un-ranked since the end of the Conglomerate, gladly joined the Guild as a military official, and remains one of the few, if not the only military official of any official status inside the Guild. It is often said that if Gavey Peng wasn't as laid-back as he was, he could easily take control of the entire Guild with only his military status. Unfortunately for the Pahit, who find demonizing single persons easier then trying to paint a whole group of people black, Gavey Peng's status as "Slacker" still reigns supreme.

### Matthews

*"Sod off."*

-  Matthews.
Thimothy Matthews Senior is perhaps the only person in history who has *"Do not call"* on his business card. A rich industrial investor from the business world of England, the Matthews family has been in business for centuries, dabbling in both resource collection and resource processing as well as assembling. Having large shares in mines across west England and Ireland as well as owning shares in several motor companies located in England, Matthews senior is without a doubt a rich man. Born 1908 on his ancestral mansion with a silver spoon in his mouth, Matthews Senior has led the blessed life of the top-class tax payers without a single lack of comfort in his entire life. Blessed with a gift for finding shrewd investments and a natural inclination towards work, the family fortune did not decline dramatically during his period of marriage and the tumultuous political changes which ejected so many wealthy families from their gigantic mansions. Matthews, however, was not happy. One could say Matthews Senior never was and never would be happy, but sir Thimothy Matthews Senior desired a growing fortune, not a idle fortune.

With only one son from his marriage and no indication his fortune could be increased in Europe, Matthews reached for foreign investments. After scouring the options, Matthews finally settled on a interesting opportunity. The Ertsberg mine, a promising open-pit mine in Papua, Indonesia. The Pahit government, anxious to boost Indonesia's defunct economy, promised large rewards for investing in the mine. Investing in the mine, Matthews Senior smelled gold, and bought the options to excavating several patches around the site, hand-picked by his geologists. With the mine under construction, Matthews decided to also take a option on the materials needed for the mine, and bought several acres of industrial site to start producing tools for the mines. However, things were not to be. In 1966, the Pahit government started the Indonesian massacres, and closed the mine as a precaution. Having idle factories and no demand for any mining equipment, Matthews Senior re purposed several of his factories to cater the only need he saw growing over the year, the need for armaments. Unfortunately for the Pahit, Matthews senior decided to sell to the highest bidder, which in this case was not the Pahit.

Desperate for material, the Pahit seized the factories in their territory, and with it, Matthews' assets.

With Matthews' newfound self-proposed alignment with the Guild came a slow realization proces as his former customers turned benefactors slowly started to realize that half of the complaints of the embittered capitalist actually touched key logistic issues prevalent within the nascent organization. Many arguments later, Matthews senior had his own spot within the Guild hierarchy. Once the Pahit identified the commander in charge for the tactically shoddy capture of the Ertsberg mine, the soldiers laughed, the officers chuckled and Pahit high command started praying daily that Matthews senior would choke on his morning tea before he manages to finish what he started there.
