: Cruniac's spoken of as a "commander;" I think
: that's his official rank, probably. As for the Myth2
: narrator, I think he *is* just a grunt. Garrick gave
: the journal to keep because he's unusually intelligent
: and curious and trustworthy, not because he's
: higher-ranking than the others. Garrick just thought
: the narrator might be interested. As the game
: progresses, of course, the narrator gets an effective
: boost in rank and respect because of his veteran
: status and participation in so many vital battles.
: You think the TFL guy speaks of Mauriac like an equal? I
: dunno. In the first journal entry, he speaks of
: "our officers" as if he's not one of them.
Yeah, he does speak like he's got higher-ups telling him what to do, but he also carries the Codex and apparently could have an opportunity to destroy it, and he was glad not to be the person carrying the Watcher's arm (implying that he could have been); and those are things that I doubt a lowly private or ensign would be carrying. So he's got some rank over the average grunts, but he's got his own commanding officers as well, putting him just about where a Captain should be.
And when he meets Mauriac outside Covenant, he says "We met Mauriac, and he had this cool idea about a tunnel..." instead of "We met the great Captain Mauriac, who took command of our leaderless patrol, and valiently led us to saftey." So they sound like more-or-less equals to me.
: Oh, right, Baelden. Forgot about him. I guess he'd be a
: general like the Nine used to be. Fine! Where's
: lieutenant deputy general second class, eh?
Seanchaide. :-)
I figure heroes must have some rank because, seeing how great their skills are, they must be hundred-time veterans, and in that process would have accumulated a good bit of rank.
: True. But that wasn't at Connacht's request, of course.
OR WAS IT? Maybe Connacht won the aid of the Bruig just so they would fight alongside him and the Emperor would get killed and HE would be the new Emperor! ;)
: So did he take that "make people need you"
: thing directly from "The Prince?"
That old book? I doubt it. Gates is a dumbass highschool drop-out, why would he be reading classic literature? Besides, in his mind he IS the prince, so why should he need to read about another one?
:-)
