Bio: Well for Cardiac being part of the Steel Legion was a means to an end and thats all, for this man holds duel citizenship with America and England so he was welcomed into their ranks and quickly proved himself as both a soldier and doctor, though his religious affiliations would keep him from ever rising into the status of nobility seeing the Archbishop only tolerated Cardiac’s beliefs; being Jewish inside the Steel Legion was a demerit that he couldn’t erase and since the Legion already had their quota of Jewish nobles their was no room for Cardiac to advance. The other problem this commander would have with his order is the sudden desire to recolonise America as a British colony. Well this would be all Cardiac would need to walk away from the Steel Legion and move across the pond to America the land of his birth to help anyway he can.

Cardiac leaving the Steel Legion is unheard of as the Legion is a lifetime commitment and he is considered an absent without leave, and a deserter so he will be having to deal with Steel Legion justiciars and bounty hunters for the remainder of his life, though for Cardiac he could not bring himself to watch as England goes to war with America again and his fellow countryman are subject to the will of the Steel Legion and the megalomaniac of a King. Cardiac has taken his rightful place amongst the Colonists again to defend to innocent from the invading English forces, this man is risking everything to fight alongside his fellow Americans and according to Cardiac he only regrets that he has only one life to give to the cause, and if his death is required to allow the Americans to be victorious than that is a sacrifice he is willing to make.

Cardiac himself is a very frighting opponent seeing that he is a highly trained physical magician and quite skilled in martial combat, he is also a world renowned battlefield surgeon and doctor thus making his skills invaluable to the rebelling forces, also those skills when combined with his martial prowess make him a deadly combatant, combine all this with the cyber that he has installed and Cardiac can be considered unstoppable. This man has left the Steel Legion and this should be a sign that not all members of that order agree with the current political environment both within England and as well the Steel Legion. Lets just hope that Cardiac’s desertion is just a start and many more abandon the Legion for the just cause and not follow blindly into war, according to Cardiac many of the Legions soldiers are blindly loyal to the crown and as long as King Cortland remains on the throne they will do his bidding without question, though he also reports that their are those within the Steel Legion that desire to leave or not follow through with the war; but have been pressured into to supporting the invasion do to threats of imprisonment, removal of title and land, the executions of their family for treason and the like. It’s a bloody shame that the English people have allowed themselves to be intertwined with a blasted pirate and even worse for the Steel Legion to have themselves manipulated by likes of Cortland.

After interviewing Cardiac I found him to a honest and true Englishman, his anger is quite real and you could hear it within his tone but he like many of his countrymen has a very stiff upper lip, I only hope that Cardiac and others that share his accent and citizenry are not subjugated, hated and tossed in a general cesspool of assumption; for this former Steel Legion member is quite true to the fight for America and was actually born here in Seattle to British parents while on holiday; he was raised and grew up in Manchester thus his dual citizenry and his heavy accent even though he is actually American by birth. I stand behind Cardiac and hope for his safety and his continued support during these trying time, for we need all the allies we can get if America is to survive this British invasion, keep Cardiac in your prayers and lets pray for all the soldiers of the UCAS, CAS, Freedom Patriots and the Sons of the True Confederacy as we prepare to fight for our very freedom and our very way of life as on this day we are all Americans united. Remember we are Americans first and foremost, than we can allow politics to interfere, this enemy has defeated the Deaths Hand and now we stand divided against them, and as Cardiac stated this is exactly why the King feels he can defeat the battered America and return us back to English rule.

Cardiac is here in the states and I believe according to what he stated many more form the Legion will be following suit in defection to help aid the American citizens from this threat, and many British nationals here in the states already will be taking up arms in defence or attempting to help anyway they can against the enemy of America. So please my readers don’t generalise all Englishman into one category as many are our friend, teachers, neighbours, and business owners these citizens will be with broken hearts watching as the country of their birth is invading the country they call home. Cardiac might be a solitary member of the Steel Legion to make his way across the pond, but he comes with a dire warning and that war is more that certain, and not to listen to the media that might be saying otherwise. Citizens lets prepare ourselves for the impending invasion and be ready for the Royal Military, according to Cardiac the Legion will be fighting as the English Royal Military and not as the Steel Legion. Thus any true Legionnaires will hold true to their principles while those blindly loyal or forced will don the uniform of the Royal Army, Navy or Air Corps and forgo their Steel Legion garments.

I will hopefully be able to interview Cardiac again in a few days to gain further lifesaving information for my readers, though I do understand he is very busy with the Colonists and staying one step ahead of the bounty hunters of the Steel Legion; so I will be patient and until then I will say good night Seattle and God Bless us all as war looms on the horizon, on this night we are all Americans and must stand united in defence and defiance of a common enemy, for we are having yet another American Revolution and this time we don’t have the drive of the founding fathers to guide us, well God Speed Seattle and have a good night till next time.
