Major Lionel Macaby, a Confederate Marine Corps officer, was the head trainer at Turaxis Prime base, Turaxis II, during the Guild Wars. His windowless office was located many levels underground, though he made an effort to personalize it with laser-inscribed plaques, framed awards and other mementos. He led troops through an accelerated training schedule, cutting three weeks off the usual twelve week schedule. Advanced Infantry Training was also skippped.
