Mathiu Silverberg: Difference between revisions

Line 33:

However, after McDohl rescued a student taken hostage by Imperial soldiers order by Kasim Hazil to bring Mathiu back into military service, Mathiu realized he could no longer hide away from the world and, passing on Odessa's wishes to McDohl, joined the Liberation Army as its strategist.

As strategist, Mathiu inherited the task of uniting various rebel factions throughout the land, incorporating dissatisfied parties and training them into an effective corps that could stand up to the Empire. He was able to organize what was a disparate collection of rogues into a fighting corps, ~~assigned~~ roles to officers as needed~~. His strategies usually involved intense cooperation between differing groups and were most effective when clear communication lines between legions were available~~.

~~Despite this, however, he~~ was not afraid to act ~~on his own~~. For example, once suspicions that a spy had infiltrated the Liberation Army became known, Mathiu made sure that his plans became shrouded in mystery. In fact, even McDohl was caught by surprise when Mathiu announced his intention to attack the [[Northern Checkpoint]].

He was also not afraid to act unilaterally. For example, once suspicions that a spy had infiltrated the Liberation Army became known, Mathiu made sure that his plans became shrouded in mystery. In fact, even McDohl was caught by surprise when Mathiu announced his intention to attack the [[Northern Checkpoint]].

However, a weakness of these strategies could be the lack of long-term planning. This showed itself most clearly with his plan for the surrender of Kasim Hazil, which involved allowing the [[City-State of Jowston]] to overrun the [[Senan]] region. Although this proved effective in forcing the surrender of Kasim Hazil, it also forced the [[Toran Republic]] to go to war with Jowston immediately after its formation, which soured relations with its northern neighbors at once.
