Recon Scouts

Recon Scouts are an elite group of Tiefling soldiers under the command of Sebastien Faell. They are notorious for their near-mythical status and extreme effectiveness, to the point of being almost undetectable under even the most intense of circumstances.

History
The Recon Scouts were created when the first ships of the Colonial Navy began dropping off small groups of Tieflings with the intention of finding a suitable place to build a new capital city. As a result of this plan to divide, King Bernardo inaugurated a new military group in the form of the Recon Scouts to provide defense should these small colonization teams come under attack. In the years since, the Recon Scouts have become the forefront of land operations within the Salmirian Military and provide means of communication and transportation of cargo between encampments.

Present Day
The Recon Scouts have utilized their status as myths and tales to their advantage by diverting attention towards other military powers present in Erta during execution of their own operations, as well as other methods of remaining undetected. For every ten fables about them as there are, there is always one first-hand account to back up the claim no matter how far-fetched. Notorious for their effective brutality and ruthless methods, the Recon Scouts have earned their reputation within Erta.

The leader of the Recon Scouts is referred to by the title of Scout Commander. The current Scout Commander is Sebastien Faell, a member of the Devil Scouts subdivision and prince of all Tieflings. During a scouting expedition with this group, he was separated from the squad when a pack of wild beasts charged them. In a daring attempt to save himself and the Scouts serving under him, he distracted the animals while his team escaped the area. Afterwards, he hid in a tree until nightfall where he could slip out under cover of night. Considered missing in action, the role of Scout Commander has been given to Jerome Faell, Sebastien's older brother in a temporary capacity.
