Post by Charles Cornwallis on Jul 11, 2014 2:08:12 GMT
Charles Cornwallis is probably best known in history for surrendering to George Washington and effectively ended the war. Of course, with it being AU, that doesn't need to happen But he is a fine leader on the battlefield, and a decent strategist. He is surprisingly sympathetic to the Colonists (he was one of the few Peers that voted against the Stamp Act) and was very torn when the war started. He is chivalric and generally a decent man. Friends: He has been part of the military for the longest time and so likely has fought alongside plenty of people. He also is a fairly decent person and fairly personable. Enemies: There are bound to be people who dislike him, including likely the colonists (despite his general sympathy for them). Lovers: Cornwallis is very happily married to his wife Jemima and won't be cheating on her. End of story.

Interestingly enough, Cornwallis wasn't a huge fan of Howe. I can imagine some tension building between the two regarding strategy. Howe's being a little bit conservative so as not to have a repeat of Bunker Hill. Particularly as the story progresses, we're going to see a little more reluctance to "finish the job" from Howe. So, definitely stuff going on there. Also, they had different experienced in the Seven Years' War. Howe being in the colonies and Cornwallis being in Germany. Reminisce about the good ol' days! (lol)
On an unrelated note, Howe is frequently forgotten in the history books whilst Cornwallis gets all the press. Like, no one knows who Howe is and what he did (be the only person to conquer New York).

If Cornwallis brings British regulars south, I expect both my characters, Captain Cepero and General Howard, will have to deal with him. I expect there will also be a few times Howard and Cornwallis meet before and after battles, perhaps when Cornwallis is demanding a surrender, which if so expect several humorous responses
