Lieutenant Thalia Roen is the beating heart of the 9th Company’s command tent—a bright, idealistic mind with a gift for tactics, logistics, and lifting the spirits of weary soldiers. Promoted from the ranks after proving herself time and time again, Thalia earned her commission not through bloodline or favor, but through diligence, wit, and an unwavering belief in the Redeemed cause.
Raised in a modest merchant family in central Rivermond, Thalia was once expected to manage ledgers, not soldiers. But the Dominion’s call for reform and service reached her early, and she eagerly enlisted. Her knack for numbers, formations, and supply movements quickly drew the attention of higher officers. Commander Karina Kessler herself took notice and elevated Thalia to lieutenant—a move few questioned and most applauded.
Around the war table, Thalia is a calculating mind with a warm smile. She spends long hours poring over maps, drafting optimal routes for marches and ensuring battle formations adapt to the terrain. Her voice is often the one of reason and planning amidst the louder, more brash voices of war. Outside of tactics, Thalia is beloved for her compassion and creativity. She pens marching chants, war ballads, and even victory songs, weaving them into the daily rhythm of the company. These pieces of verse and melody have become part of the 9th Company’s identity—lifting spirits, calming nerves, and reminding soldiers what they fight for.
Though young compared to some of her peers, Lieutenant Thalia Roen stands as proof that heart, intellect, and resolve can shape not only battle plans, but the very soul of a company.
