Crimson Sons

The Crimson Sons is a human infantry warrior-lodge. They were founded by the one hundred eighty survivors of the 9th Infantry Battalion who held the line without retreat at great cost. Named for the red tabards of the original 5th Regiment and for the blood spilled at Arathi Highlands, they tattoo themselves with symbology of the 5th, often with a “V” featured prominently on their face or body. The Crimson Sons are extremely selective and exclusionary, only accepting new members by invitation who meet their exacting standards of bravery and discipline in the face of overwhelming odds.

The Crimson Sons are lead by Master Sergeant Pieter Kranz, a hardened and grave man. A veteran of many battles, he is made of stern stuff. Kranz never so much as wavered during Arathi, and it is to his leadership that day that many of the Crimson Sons credit their survival. It is said that Kranz does not notice an impending defeat, he merely notes the enemy has finally evened the odds.
