*"The Morning has come, Victory is Ours."* - Walter Pate Postimies at the end of his most successful military campaign.

## About

Walter Pate Postimies is a decorated officer of the Enforcers and a reserve General, a title no longer commissioned by the Panauan Government but maintained as an honorary title for the former highest ranking officers of the Enforcers. Walter is known for his ruthless disposition against the enemies of the state as well as his fair treatment of his own subordinates. He wields tremendous amounts of influence over interior political matters related to national security and is well known for being tightly associated with the cabinet of Vice President Walter Ozias.

## Path to Power

Arriving into service through a foreign contractor, Walter quickly became one of the most prominent marksmen of the Enforcers. His service was eventually rewarded with an overseeing generalship position but the rise to administration was cut short with an offshore deployment from the Vice President, the details of which never left the Presidential office.

Resuming his duties as a Major after his return, Walter quickly found himself in an internal power struggle over the reckless actions of his new administration that had taken over command of the Enforcers during his offshore deployment. Court-martial eventually found the instigations to be true and the Commanding Officer was removed from office. Walter became the Executive Officer of the Enforcers in the process.

At this point the road was clear, Walter was acting in his full capacity as a General and it did not take long for the entire command to be relieved entirely to him. Walter became the Commanding Officer of the Enforcers.

## Victory is Ours

What followed was arguably one of the most significant military campaigns since the fall of the old regime. Under the leadership of General Walter and his most trusted colleagues and friends, Enforcers secured more than half of the territory of Panau into the Government's sphere of influence. The rebel threat had essentially been halted and Walter relieved himself of his command to pursue further political power.

## Trusted Advisor

After his term as the Commanding Officer, Walter became a military advisor to the cabinet of Vice President Walter Ozias. Even though the constitution prohibited active military personnel from participating in the matters of congress, many often found that Walter was acting in the capacity of a Minister of Defence more so than the members of the ministry itself. As a proven top strategist of the nation, many still took heed of his advice.

The break from war would not come to last however. After a scandal among the top officers of the Enforcers, the best course of action decided was to initiate administrative protocol #117 and return the command of Enforcers back to General Walter Pate Postimies.

## Present day

The third generalship would eventually come to pass as well with returning back to the service of the Vice President. During this time the country had worrying development. The red war machine of the Reapers had spread its wings beyond the fields of battle, and a new People's Democratic Party found unprecedented popularity. With the backing of Panau's communist supporters they managed to assimilate the entire native conservatist wing of the Ular tribe under their influence, a feat that had never occured before in the history of the new regime. By enactic administrative protocol #117 once again, Walter was placed as Chief of the newly reformed Enforcers with the assignment of keeping up the show. Walter had found himself in yet another power struggle but this time it was for the fate of the nation...
