Backstory

OK I lied about posting the next day ;) anyway his name is William Granite, his battle tactic of 'Bullet, Bayonet and then the Boot' had put him on course for Knighthood and Generals rank then came the day he was asked to put down a miners strike. Within days the pressure on the Government was such that although they agreed that communists, anarchists and foreigners deserved to be treated that way the victims were still British, so the Colonel was sent to Africa where he could not hurt any one (other than the locals) and could still be recalled for further dispatch of his skills. He immediately went native and honed his skills further by commanding the armies of a local King. The War Office know about this and also know (roughly) where he is, they allow him to continue, after all he buys all his weapons from them.
