: Yeah. Usually to become a general and stuff like that,
: one has to distinguish himself while in service to the
: military in some way or another. In times like those,
: becoming a general probably came after being a great
: warrior captain, or being some sort of avatara.
: The only other real way to become a general was to go to
: some sort of military strategy school (like Sun-Tzu's
: school of War in ancient China) and then join the
: military as a commander of some sort and work his way
: up from their in the ranks.
: We know that Baeldun was a great general, so he must have
: been either a great warrior captain or an avatara or a
: schooled commander before he became a general. To
: become a general from the captain or schooled
: commander beginning, he would have had to increase in
: rank through distinction in battle, or filling dead
: guy's ranks. Now, since there were no
: major battles between the great war and soulblighter's
: return, so we could assume he did not gain rank
: through battles. Any generals that were in the army
: afterwards (probably survivors from the western civil
: wars started by the head) may have died of old age,
: but younger ones would have replaced them before
: Baeldun had a chance. He'd have to outlive many many
: people to do it that way. And if he had gained the
: rank by filling dead men's places, he probably would
: not have the type of stategical skill that he did.
: If he was an avatara trained after Balor's fall, he would
: have probably been given command of an army for
: himself (alric did when he was young), and had the
: skills to command it. That, I think is actually pretty
: good (not invincible) evidence that he is definitely
: more than just a warrior general.
: The DUCK
Why does everyone here have names that contain 'duck'?
