Rosalind Lowther

Commander Rosalind 'Rosie' Lowther is the current commander of the Korrikan Steam Troops regiment of the Imperial Army. An experienced commander, Commander Lowther is renowned for her fearlessness, cold demeanour and intolerance of disobediance or laxity.

History
Born in one of the slums of Korrikan to a family of manufactorum workers, Rosalind’s life prospects were virtually non-existent. As such, she took the one route out of her squalid life: joining the Emperor’s Great Crusade. Enlisting in the Korrikan PDF, Rosalind served there for several years, gaining experience by dealing with rowdy mobs and criminal gangs. When the recruiting officers from the Korrikan Steam Troops came to replenish their casualties from the PDF, Rosalind was selected alongside 500 others to leave Korrikan and join the regiment.

She joined the 2nd Company of the 3rd Battalion as an Infantry Auxiliary, and saw a significant amount of frontline fighting. She eventually gained promotion as her experience and steely manner proved decisive in launching several successful assaults, and by 000.M31 she had become the Commander of the Steam Troops as a whole.

Personality
Renowned for her perceived lack of fear in the face of the enemy and unyielding demour at all times, Commander Lowther brokers no dissent or disloyalty within her ranks. While some of her closest friends call her Rosie, very few are counted by her as friends and she does not tolerate anyone else calling her that, as she views it as extreme informality. [[Category:R]]
