Backstory
In the aftermath of the Napoleguinic War Kane quickly realized that a strong Valencian military presence would be necessary to achieve Valencia’s strategic ends. In the name of preserving stability and peace on the worlds so recently “liberated” by the Armada’s navy, he immediately increased production of Clockwork Marines and ships. Kane, however, wished to turn his attentions beyond purely military matters – to escape the burden of command, the Clockwork needed a subordinate who could be trusted with complete strategic command of the Armada. Thus Kane began designing the prototype Dragoon construct that would eventually become Rooke.

Once completed, Rooke immediately assumed control of all Armada forces, which he proceeded to deploy throughout the Spiral. Rooke’s forces seized control of a multitude of formerly disputed worlds in the name of “public safety,” though some said quietly that the campaigns were really a move to solidify Armada control throughout the former Polarian territories. From that day forward General Rooke became one of the most feared members of Kane’s Court, and was soon known as the “Sword of Kane”.

Rooke is widely considered to be one of the most powerful Armada constructs ever created in terms of raw power. Unlike the other members of the inner court, Rooke rarely utilizes subtlety or guile, relying heavily upon his excellent tactical sense and sheer brute strength. It is also said that unlike any other Inner court member Rooke rarely resorts to subtlety, acting instead with his own peculiar sense of honor. Nevertheless he remains a fearsome and powerful opponent.
