Laird Foog 2

Laird Foog 2, born 1891 AJE in the Provinciae Jebbkubaic, is the current Legate of the Jebbic 8th Auxiliary Legion and *Dominus Landa* of the Centaurian cities Ursus, Canis, and Mortis. He is also notably the sole proprietor of Foog Holdings, Inc., which acquired the now-defunct Chicken Family Corporation's assets following the death of their CEO, W.D. Chicken. He is known colloquially as the Savior of Proxima Centauri for the role he played in the Maelstrom, a battle which experts regard as crucial to preventing the Proxima Centauri system from falling into the hands of Glaborulon.

### Early Life

Laird Foog 2 was born following the construction of the Second Kube, in 41,891 AJE (After Jebbo Emperor) the son of two upper-Kuban lawyers. In interviews, Foog has described his upbringing as "affluent" and his childhood self as a "brat." His relationship with his parents was strained, who he often fought with. This came to a head shortly after the arrival of the Jebbic Empire on Kuba, when his parents consigned his life to the 42nd Jebbic "Highland" Auxiliary Legion.

### Service

Serving under Gobodon Gobitchacivh in the second axillary, Foog went through the intensive training that is custom among the 42nd Auxiliary. Foog has said that this training was "key to making [him] a functional person... the 42nd taught [him] respect, discipline, and mental fortitude." He gradually distinguished himself among his peers. Gobitchacivh, speaking in an interview, said: "When I met Foog he was a sniveling little thing. Oh, we beat him into shape. After about two months, he was a model soldier. Could clean a latrine in under 15 minutes." Foog earned a place on the Black Watch about two years into his service, during a raid on the kingdom of Angland, where he was said to have held a position with no reinforcements for 6 hours, leaving a number of Anglish men, women, and children dead. He was eventually recommended to the Jebbic Military Academy, where he received training as an officer.

#### Jebbic Military Academy

In his time at the Jebbic Military Academy, located only 6 Jumps from Jebcord, Foog trained under the tutelage of the top military minds in the Jebbic Empire, eventually being named Centurion of the Third Cohort of the Jebbic 8th, then known as the Dregs. Under his supervision, the third cohort was rapidly organized as the most well-organized and disciplined in the whole legion. When the Glaborulon arrived in the system and it became apparent that no Jebbic Legions would be dispatched, the Legate at the time abandoned his post, along with about half the legion. Looking to Foog, the legion engaged in hit and run tactics across the system for years until the Glaborulon forces were weak enough to be decisively defeated by the 8th at the Maelstrom.

### Following the Maelstrom

Following his actions at the Maelstrom, Foog was named *Dominus Landa* of three cities on Proxima Centauri A and granted *Libertatem Agrere*, a status which allowed him to command and outfit the Jebbic 8th as he saw fit, only responding directly to Jebbic authority. Under his command, Foog would transform the 8th into one of the most powerful Jebbic Auxiliary legions. From then on, Foog would indirectly manage his domain while commanding the 8th through a number of campaigns, breaking sieges and relieving strained positions across the Jebbic Empire. Eventually, he would turn his sights on his home planet of Kuba, acquiring land through Foog Holdings, Inc. and establishing the Jebbic 8th's fortress monastery.
