  1. Colonel Sir Braham Devine, Viscount Feverstone, KT, and GC pledges his endless allegiance to Queen Annetta. Pictured here in his seldom-worn dress uniform, Colonel Devine has come to Tiberia in his role as the commanding officer of the Second Field Intelligence Group (SFIG), specifically with the mission of organizing the Imperial Native Auxiliary from the natives of Tiberia, and recruiting agents who can report on activities in the other islands in the Sea of Storms. Bram is rather an accidental aristocrat, receiving the title of Viscount Feverstone after the death of his elder brother Richard 20 years ago. As a second son, he had originally intended to pursue a career as a surveyor; however, at the age of fifteen, his father purchased him a commission in the Fifth Dragoons. Braham served with distinction during the closing campaigns of the 49 Years War, where he received the Gallantry Cross for his actions at the battle of Jacob's Ford. His troop of dragoons held key high ground against successive attacks of Oleander infantry until the Corrington artillery could be placed there, turning the tide of the battle. His troop suffered 88 percent casualties, and Devine himself was wounded in the thigh by an Olean bayonet. During the Juniper War, Devine was serving in the Corlander diplomatic mission to Varcoast, and was unable to participate directly in the fighting, though he did persuade Varcoast to threaten an invasion of Olean, helping end the war before it was a total military disaster. Following the Juniper War, Braham was among several field officers who criticized the lack of coordination of intelligence, citing it as a leading cause of the Corlander military defeats. This criticism led to the creation of the Reconnaissance Corps. Braham was quickly reassigned to this new Corps, and placed in command of a field intelligence group--a company sized collection of officers from different disciplines who are often assigned sensitive tasks. Since the officers almost always work alone or in pairs, the whole group is seldom in one place. Now in his early forties, the Colonel is a handsome devil, a fair hand with a sword, accomplished horseman, talented pianist/harpsichordist, and sometime natural philosopher. Society columns in the newspapers list the Viscount Feverstone as one of the Empire's "Most Suitable Bachelors," and the Arlinsport newspapers have proclaimed him the "Most Eligible Gentleman in Tiberia." The income from the Feverstone estate makes Braham a fairly wealthy man--but the day to day running of the estate he leaves to his brother's widow, Beatriz. He has expressed interest in starting a sugar plantation in Tiberia, but his day-to-day duties with the SFIG have prevented him from pursuing that goal. Additionally, his native contacts have told him about islands full of strange and wonderful spices to the south... Is there an example of the 33rd's Uniform? If possible I'd like to build a couple of small outposts for them.
