| - During the course of the 346 AC rebellion, the commander who was put in charge of the battalion of men that would become the Crimson Lions died in battle. These men, now leaderless, looked toward the hulking and well trained Andren Karthmere -- who was only seventeen at the time -- for guidance, as the men's morale dropped severely after the death of their commanding officer. Knowing that he couldn't just let these men down, Andren decided to take up arms and step up to the lead role as the commander of the army of men, to which most if not all agreed. At age 17, it is likely Andren became the youngest military commander in modern history when he took up this role.

These men, now leaderless, looked toward the hulking and well trained Andren Karthmere -- who was only seventeen at the time -- for guidance, as the men's morale dropped severely after the death of their commanding officer. Knowing that he couldn't just let these men down, Andren decided to take up arms and step up to the lead role as the commander of the army of men, to which most if not all agreed. At age 17, it is likely Andren became the youngest military commander in modern history when he took up this role. He had them cover their armor with black substances so they'd be seen less at night, and use crimson red polish to honor the blood spilled by those fallen. Andren then later demanded the wood workers to carve special shields with a red lion on the front. Over time Andren taught the men valuable Karthmere strategies, such as Dalan II's method for learning guerrilla tactics, along with many of his own techniques. He trained them harshly, but after the training was finished, those who remained were disciplined, incredibly strong, and often merciless without the guidance of their commander. Andren had turned former foot-soldiers into brutal beasts of war.
