1864 Dec 15 during the American Civil War

Ronan Belleza General in the Union army alongside with William T, Sherman one of the highest ranking generals in the union only Grant being above them being the General in chief of the army

Ronan was born in Washington with one of the wealthiest family in US, despite born with such wealth Ronan grown to hate slavery after his 1st black friend died in front of his eyes when he was only a child when he and his family was visiting in the south for business

Ronan have fought alongside with this man before including Robert E, Lee during the American-mexican war where Ronan have begun to show his talent as a commander

Due to the wealth of his family along with their industry and agriculture it made them quite rich and one of the top 5

Ronan was born in sep 11. 1822

Age 42 years old

He belives in equality and unity to the point he petition for colored troops as during the American-Mexican war where he is partially successful and at least 30 thousand black soldiers are recruited whom wanted to prove themselves to the country that does have prejudice against them and earn some respect to their fellow white soldiers and was give to Ronan Command a brigade of which he command 4 thousand blacks whom he successful to make his soldiers to accept their black skin soldiers and treated them as an equal and most of them are born of freed blacks and only few who are escape from slavery from the south

despite being young he quickly climb up to the ranks due to his strategic mind something Robert Lee would fear at the start of the Civil War the moment Ronan entered the fold

In American-Mexican war Ronan he was only 24 years old and have a rank of Brigadier general which made him one of the youngest, like Grant he and Ronan have a knack when it comes to Logistics, though Ronan join the Artillery first which he and Sherman are close

Ronan is a well traveled man having journey around the world in his youth and whenever he was in off duty, he have learned other cultures especially in China where he read the Art of War, he is also likes to read history especially military figures, he had read about the likes of Ceasar, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, George washtington and other notable strategies that would shape him during this early wars, especially his family have to use their position just so he could climb up the rank of a brigadier something even Ronan frowned as he values his own merits than political persuasion by his parents, even though his father was also well respected officer in the army

Before the civil war begun and with the rising of tensions in that time Ronan was a major.general with his own command of his division he have to convince his trusted friends to train their army the regulars before the war have started and slowly recruit more soldiers to a respectable standard

When the War begun Ronan showed off his prowess winning battles at the early stages of the war and have to be harsh to other commanders so they can be competent and some are being secretly executed by Ronan to those who are stubborn enough

He is one of the generals in the Union army who have less casualties compared to confederacy as he always inflict more to his enemies than to him, which a reason why Lee would fear him

some people Compared Ronan to Napoleon since he was quite like the French Emperor but Ronan was his own man and would never able to compete the likes of that great general and Emperor

which also boosted his reputation and cause fear to his enemies that he was able to exploit their position and win the battle

now he is a General in command of a field army numbering 200 thousand man along with competent commanders under him which mostly are his friends and Grant trusted him as well as Lincoln to help win the war with at least 50 thousand of them are blacks with Ronan's charisma and the colored troops determination and valour they earned respect that they don't no longer have to worry racism in their unit

360 cannons from 3 inch Ordinance, 12 pounder howitzer and mortars and a few at least 5 siege artillery of 200 pounder pekett gun

a reason why he have this kind of firepower is because he would be the one to smash through enemy lines which it could make him a bigger threat than Sherman's march of the sea and could divide the Confederate forces

Sherman have his march to the Sea, While Ronan was the battling Ram as he push way through to the confederate lines as he win battles after battle defeating many of their best generals and losses again far fewer

another reason why he was compared to Napoleon was his charisma and surrounded by Competent generals under him that Ronan trusted enough for his overall strategy and capable of holding themselves against the confederate sides

With newer and better weapons Ronan have to use the wealth of his family to have his Elite troops the right weapon to use like the Henry and Spenser repeater rifles for his cavalry and some infantry regiment, another is the Sharp rifle to his sharpshooters as well as his Rangers and his own Elite Guards completely armed with the breachloading musket as well as the Elite Veterans who deserves such weapons

another thing is Gatling Gun though in small number about at least 45 of them again it was his families wealth along with some union commander in his unit who is at least willing to pay and try to make the government refund them should it was effective weapons when it comes to war, after all it was still a new weapon and untested in tactics, Siege of Petersburg was the 1st time that Gatling was used against the Confederate

Ronan is 6'5 ft tall, Caucasian, and Blue eyes

Weapons: Henry repeater Rifle with bayonet, 2 Revolvers, a Knight and Sabre

So far he has 20 wins of battle and 2 loses since then he never lose afraid said defeat which was why he was feared by the Confederate and it includes of lesser casualties and unpredictability and a competent commanders under him able to reinforce whenever someone needed to be aid among their group a reason he was compared to Napoleon because of his trust to his friends and suburdinates of acting on overall strategy and not to mention even able to make some confederate to defect making them feel bad of owning slaves and fought for the union but not before making sure that they are being watch

Current Occupation: General of a field in the Union army

US marine Captain formerly

Personality: Charismatic, decisive, wrathful, Friendly

Likes:Unity, Freedom, Liberty, his country and freeing slaves

Deslikes:Racist, slavers, Traitors with a burning passion

Kansas

Ronan's army base camp

Main Camp

Night

Ronan narrowed his as he look at the map since before the Civil war even started he already sense of the coming war and have to coordinate to those who are willing to fight the war, Ronan at least he has his corps of 30,000 man under his command as some of them have served under him for several years and some even decade which they are his Old Breeds his Elite of the Elite in his army

Besides him is LT, General Nath his oldest and closest friend and only his 2nd in command where he will entrusted the most important engagement and he will follow it as best as he can as many Confederate fall from his Tactical  thinking

Then another is his Son Aaron Col of a Cavalry Regiment of mounted Infantry and all are armed with Henry and spencer rifles with Aaron armed by the former, he is 21 years old and he is tall of 6'4 ft tall well built and like his father he hates slavery and the 1st son birth with his 1st wife

Next is Mark his General Quartermaster even though Ronan was a genious when it comes to Logistics he always have to rely on his friend since Ronan would be busy for Grand Strategy but still will have a daily report from the quartermaster since before the Campaign Ronan have advance such plans the moment he was given command from Grant to attack Texas which they already have more supplies than they usually have since they would be pushing through the Western Theater

Another is his 2nd son Chris 20 year old same from his late wife he is 6 ft tall and Captain of the Sharpshooter company

Next would be Gabriel Major General and leading a Corps

Major General Dean Commander of a Corps

Major General Edmund leading Cavalry Division

Brigadier General William commander of a brigade under Ronan

Captain Tom Under in Aaron's Regiment

and so on

"The Confederates are weakened, Sherman's march is doing much crippled their fighting capability" said Nath

"indeed, and now it's our Turn it would lessen the pressure of Grant's camgain against the Confederacy bastards" said Gabrial

"Those Slavers will have their due" Said Ronan  with tone of venom he hated the south because they never wanted to abolish slavery, of course the war may not have been about Slavery but the longer the war the reason becoming more appear ant of abolition against Slavery something he begun to respect Lincoln in his views as change but still Ronan was worried about the Prisident wanting to deport the blacks to other countries so far it's unsuccessful and Ronan hope his family in federal government would still try to give the Blacks the proper rights that they deserve

"Our strategy we do as much damage to Texas as possible seeing that they are weakened in their daring campaign against us, the Texas would be easy to conquer, but our aim is divide and conquer to see if the Confederate would send reinforcement as well as their best Generals against us thus freeing a pressure from Grant or we would still push them through until we can regroup with General Grant and we would crush the Confederates for good" Said Ronan 

After the Defeat in Gettysburg which Ronan with his army participate to battle against Lee as a reinforcement for  the Potomac army led by General Meade Ronan was already marching there intending to fight Lee and his army, he Defeated Lee before when the Confederate led a counter Invasion only to be led in failure as Ronan saw an opportunity to Invade them claiming territory and lives of the Confederates as of many Confederate generals either surrender or died against him

Though he divide his forces at that time as he could take on Lee and he is Confident he can Give lee a Huge Casualty, as of in the 3rd day of the Battle Ronan and his forces arrive and done many killing of the Confederate forces, Lee knows Ronan was coming and have to beat Potomac army but General Maede prove to be formidable general who knows how to use his numbers against Lee, Ronan's arrival brough the Defeat of Lee's Forces killing 55,000 forces it was Ronan's rage in that day he was even more feared in the Confederate land, as it was shown that he takes very little of surrendering enemies as his hatred towards them are strong, still Lee escape from his clunch though costly must to Lee's dismay

"How about the Indian tribes? are we sure we can count on them?" Said Aaron as he look to his father

"Only those who are Loyal to Union Col" Said Nath "We are already have talks with them and they would help us to clear an area for us for shorter rout towards texas" he explained

"Well that's good then i think" Said Dean

"Either way, Lee maybe tactical genious but first and foremost his weakness was his sole focus on Verginia would bite him in the ass and Grant is already giving him such headache" Said Ronan

"Not to mention you as well General" Said Nath to his dear friend with grin

"Lee knows my hatred against slavery, he knows my family well enough of our advocate to abolish slavery since after our founding fathers revolution" Said Ronan

"Then again other countries are already abolish their slavery even the Great Britan abolish it, and the only thing that stop them from joining entirely is because the south hasn't yet abolish their slavery" Said Aaron

"We are not in our subject people' Ronan reminded them "are we all clear for your objectives?" He said which everyone nod "Good, i want all of you have a good night sleep, we will have a long day tomorrow" he said which they all said their goodbye to their general going to their tents for a sleep

Ronan goes to his tent for a sleep after a long bloody battles and won them again and again made him tired, still he remembered fort Wagnar, after the confederate abandon it, they are quite unfortunate to be on the recieving end of Ronan's one of his division whom are sent to reinforce and besiege

and after hearing the brave 54th and how they are being disrespected by the confederacy as well as Col Shaw, they give then no mercy to confederate soldiers killing them to the last man as a revenge to those they killed and bullied of slaves

Honestly Ronan can be close minded when it comes to slavery, admittedly he himself have this flaw when the war started with the greatest example is lee whom he look up to, after Lee join the confederate despite that he wish for not of seccession and may not pro-slavery but siding with confederate is what makes him hated by Ronan since he join to someone that wanted to expand slavery

To Ronan's eyes anyone who wholeheartedly join confederates are slavers that should be put to death, a another reason why many have feard him apart from his stragetic genious he is very ruthless to those who join confederate and repeatedly calling them 'slavers' rather than American

Ronan instill hate to his troops of hating slavery which was effective and even if possible educate them about slavery and the suffering of the people which made many of them to be determined to end it once and for all for their country

in 30 percent in his field army are of Regulars, but the vulunteers are given the training standard of the Regulars as mostly Rugular army are always considered their Elite, and now Ronan has the best unit in the Civil war as all of them are train up to his  standard and  help centralize their training

"A long battle is waiting" Though of Ronan as he begun to sleep

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

many of the Union soldiers sleep preparing for tomorrow's march except from some sentries as keep watch the outside looking for any danger and alarmed their brothers in arms should someone threaten them, after all they are going to an Indian territory still they have deal with them before with the help of Indians who join the Union

Then a fog appeared engulfing the entire base camp entirely that even the Sentries fall asleep from their watch before they could even warned them

Within seconds the Entire base camp along with 200,000 soldiers are gone without a trace but the Entire country won't notice it for they are still busy fighting in the Civil War

And now they are sent at the closing siege against the Blackstone Legion
