## History

### Previous Timeline

He was the Corps Commander of the 7th Corps under the Eastern Regional Corps. One day, he entered Brent's Library located in his barony and accidentally obtained Brent's Ring by solving his puzzle by chance. After obtaining the ring, he became much more powerful due to the various spells on the ring. Although it was not disclosed but Roan suspects that Aaron Tate also obtained Kalian's Tears due to the sudden growth in the latter's spearmanship after revealing his Brent's Ring. Eventually, he rose to become the the Supreme Commander of the Eastern Regional Corps.

### Current Timeline

Aaron Tate became aware of Roan when Gale brought him to report Roan's suspicions about an orc night raid during the early stage of Pedian's Plain Monster Subjugation. When it turned out that the orcs were truly planning a night raid he became quite impressed at Roan's insight. He looked highly upon the young Roan who saved many soldiers of the 7th Corps due to his Prely River's inundation tactic and defeating Orc Commander Violin through the use of carriage forts while minimizes their own losses. He raised Roan to the post of Class 4 Adjutant soon after he was promoted to Class 5 Adjutant by Gale. He also rewarded him with a solid spear and a pass to visit Brent's Library that Roan requested.

As Roan continued to attain merits, Aaron Tate began trusting him more and more which led the 7th Corps, as a whole, to spreading its fame throughout the kingdom while attaining merits. Seeing Roan's outstanding talent for spearmanship, he even requested Viscount Reil Baker to come see him. During the war against Istel Kingdom, Aaron Tate gave more resources to the information troops on Roan's suggestion which allowed the 7th Corps to easily obtain intel on the enemy supply lines which they destroyed. Maybe due to the continuous good results, the 7th Corps became overconfident and relaxed which led to them falling into an enemy ambush where they lost around half of their men. However, showing the signs of an excellent commander, Aaron Tate learned from this blunder and improved. This time being more cautious, he slowly verified the location of the supply storage before launching an attack and destroying the supply storage. Their efforts essentially caused the war to end as Istel Kingdom would be unable to fight without food or weapons. However, the joyous mood did not last long.

Benjamin Doyle, being a petty person, ordered the 6th and 7th Corps to chase the already retreating Istel army which led to the two corps into falling in Peid Neil's trap and being wiped out with the exception of Aaron Tate. Count Io Lancephil obtained a dishonorary discharge letter for Benjamin Doyle with the basis being his absolutely pathetic performance as the Supreme Commander.
