Admiral Jack Rackham

Formerly commander of the Heavy Cruiser ESS Agamemnon, formerly home to the 130th Regiment. (now temporary home to the 256th Regiment).

Rackham is one of the Earth Empire's finest naval officers, with a reputation for fairness towards his friends and ruthlessness towards his enemies. Not an officer to suffer fools at all, his somewhat robust attitude to bureaucrats and timeservers has made his promotion slower than his abilities and record might suggest.

Hobbies include Scottish country dancing, fine art appreciation and classic music of the 20th century.
