Brash corporal of the Eslading defense forces, quick-tongued and unapologetically confident, known for surviving assignments others avoided, who challenges Belle‘s authority from the moment he enters her command. He tests her leadership as openly as he tests discipline, speaking when silence is expected and pressing questions others keep to themselves. His manner suggests a man raised under uneven command, someone who learned early that hesitation carried a cost. Breo pushes against structure and expectation, his ability apparent but poorly restrained, his confidence shaped by survival rather than polish, forcing Belle to decide whether he is a liability she must control or a strength she can shape.
He moves through the ranks with an ease that unsettles seasoned soldiers. Some see competence in his defiance, others hear only arrogance. Breo seems unconcerned with either judgment, focused instead on what works and what keeps men alive. His presence disrupts the balance of her command, drawing attention in moments meant for order, and tension follows him into every formation. Circumstances soon press Belle to advance him before certainty has time to form. The decision places Breo and her judgment under immediate scrutiny, tying her authority to a soldier who has never learned to follow quietly.
