Leonardo Vinchilie

"They might be consorting with dragons, which is evidently out of our concern, but I do hope these knife ears aren't the ones playing the game. Killing two birds with one stone. - Leonardo Vinchilie warning Harmlock about the Elves."Quintus Leonardo Vinchilie is a Hochen veteran who played a critical role in the transformation of Hochen's faction to a powerhouse in the Northern region. He is Harmlock's top lieutenant and currently serving as Governor of Northern-Eastern Alterac.

Before he took governorship of the Northern-Eastern Provinces, he became a tribune under Consul Hector Rothschild and assumed command of the 4th Cohort for the defense of Strahnbrad. Elroy then sees fit to promote him to Legate, a general of an entire legion under the King. However, he is has been given command of two cohorts instead of the entirety. Hemlock feared that he might let loose and use the army to level against him. Thus, the rest, the first and second, are direct to Harmlock alone, excluding subordinates. And Elroy, entrusted for the defense.

He has received numerous accolades from Hochen for his formidable strategic acuity but envy from his friends, who distinguishes himself from others, even among his plebian peers in the senate room.

He is, however, cold and distant. But forgiving and lenient to those among whom he considered as his closest friends and cruel among enemies.

Two Warlords Period
He has had served Hochen as Commander of his Fifth in his illegal war against Faustus on the border in the Uplands. Both factions clashed, which have severely caused to stagnate businesses and trades were often closed as roads were heavily guarded by Border troops from both side of the war.

Alterac's economy plummeted as series of border clashes erupted in the mountains. Hochen troops marched closer to the uplands and closed the gap between him and Faustus, where they incidentally made a truce. Which was needed, proposed by the Senate in Strahnbrad, Faustus and Hochen have remained in stalemate for more than a few months.

During peacetime, Leonardo stands out as insignificant with his role as consul for two months in Strahnbrad. Apart from being boorish and ill-tempered, he displeases Hochen even more by nearly stirring up the plebs to revolt by stealing a cattle from one of the villagers through force. Hochen has no other alternatives but to force him into retirement and free to walk in Alterac as a private citizen. A revelation that he as admittedly say so that he has no interest in running for office or running a state in any way.

Upon retiring, he got arrested after the night Hochen was assassinated and was brought to Perth to serve a few months imprisonment in chains. He suffered depression then and never had seen sunlight as was ever again.

Fall
In the aftermath of Hochen's demise, Hermann Gunther assumed command of the battered remnants and formed an insurrection group; the Houchen's Vestige. Bitterness overcomes Hasten's loyalist, whose only purpose was to dismantle the senate, Gunther, now Commander of the rebel force marshaled enough men to do likewise, including Leonardo. They succeeded in negotiating a compromise that lasted for forty days. Then Harmlock came, with his legions of ten men. Came into Ulrich's side, who defected two weeks later. The intent to deny Gunther of full annexation of Strahnbrad was a pretext to another civil war; thus, the Second Civil War.
